As soon as the word that bothered her came out of Lucia’s mouth, the child’s tears burst.

“……Whaaa! I, I did wrong……. ”

“……. ”

‘I see.’

Lucia, who finally realized the situation then.

But the misunderstanding that had already begun was a difficult situation for Lucia, who had no tact at all.

Should she say it’s not dirty?

Should she say don’t worry because a maid can be called?

It was true, but it was wrong. She couldn’t figure out what words would be appropriate.

Even though she had only spoken a few words with the child, she could not gauge what reaction the child would show from their conversation so far.

Lucia was completely out of it with the child’s roaring crying echoing up to the ceiling.

The legendary Black Monster Knight.

Even she was powerless in front of a crying child.

It was then.

Suddenly, she saw the open bathroom door in her trembling eyes.

And along that path to the entrance, very small footprints clearly imprinted.

Lucia rolled her eyes, then firmly said to the child as if she had thought of something.

“Orphanage. Can’t send.”

The child, who had been crying hard enough to shake her body, was taken aback by Lucia’s firm words.

“Clean up whether you send or not.”

Lucia pointed to the bathroom and floor with her chin.

“……!”

In her view, the child was more shocked than she expected, and even the flowing tears stopped.

To threaten this little child with housework as an excuse.
A fleeting sense of guilt crossed her mind, but for her, threats were easier than consolations. This was the best she could do.

“It’s not a matter to be solved by crying. You understand.”

At Lucia’s firm words, the child, who she had expected to cry harder, merely closed her gaping mouth and wiped her tears with small fumbling hands.

That too, was an unexpected reaction.

“Here, it’s not my home. So I must keep it clean. So you can clean up after yourself, right?”

The child vigorously nodded to her words.

Now, to the child, Lucia’s words sounded like, “If you just clean, I’ll let you stay.”

So from the child’s point of view, it was an unparalleled opportunity.

Now curious about where they were, the child asked,

“Then where is here…?”

“……Strictly speaking, it’s probably part of the palace.”

Even at Lucia’s uncertain tone, the child was startled.

It was because suddenly the words of a missing sister came to mind.

The palace. A place where glittering people gathered, living without worries about tomorrow or meals, a place like heaven.

‘……So that’s how it is.’

The child became sullen again.

No matter how she promised to be her mother, the glittering woman in front of her was still a distant woman.

The child stared into Lucia’s blue eyes.

To the child, they were beautiful and kind eyes that would be lost if she couldn’t do the household chores properly here.

It was a big deal. The thought of losing a mother for the first time made tears well up in her eyes.

‘Don’t cry. Crying is annoying.’

But tears kept welling up.

The child pondered for the first time. A way not to part with someone.

Thinking of the wrongs she had done so far, there was only one way for a 5yearold child’s mind to make amends.

Cleaning harder than anyone else wandering around here.

If she could show herself working hard like that, instead of sighing, instead of a stern face, wouldn’t she smile beautifully as when she held her hand?

If she smiled like that, just a little more, just a little more. Wouldn’t she be able to be with her longer?

Not trying to shake off the incessant tears, the child gave her eyes a lot of strength and nodded her head bravely.

‘Oh, thank goodness.’

Without knowing the child’s determination, Lucia decided to coax the child a little more.

“How troubling. How long will it take to wipe this wooden floor…?”

“Don’t, don’t worry! I’ll try hard…!”

When Lucia looked troubled, the child clutched her tiny hands desperately, hunched her shoulders, and screamed.

Ah, how innocent this child was.

At that moment, Lucia’s guilt grew even more, and her heart ached so much that she almost involuntarily let out a moan.

“……Okay, then remember. I am Lucia.”

“Let’s make a promise while you’re here. From now on, don’t talk about the orphanage to anyone. And.”

The child continued to nod to Lucia’s words, whatever they were.

“You haven’t forgotten, have you? Look here.”

“……?”

At that mechanical nod, Lucia, as if to say something most important the child had to keep, met the child’s eyes and made her focus.

“It would be best to call me Mom as soon as possible.”

“……!”

At her words, the child, whose eyes were already large, widened them like a rabbit’s and bowed her head, mumbling.

Lucia thought the child had a long way to go, but the hidden face of the child was now glowing warmly red like the sunset light pouring in through the window.

Male lead is a clingy little husband

One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.

Introduction:

One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.

One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.

As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.

From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.

But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.

Mini scene 1:

One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.

Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”

Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”

Mini scene 2:

After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.

Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.

Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”

Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”

Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.

[Reading Guide]

1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.

2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
