The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 151
The Imperial Capital Pelena was splendid. As the residence of the Emperor and all manner of high nobles, even the smallest shop on a street corner stood at the forefront of every fashion, and even the poor did their utmost to adorn themselves.
In her previous life, Neris had once yearned for that splendor and taken pride in it. But near the moment of her death, it had felt meaningless—and now, having just witnessed the dignified grandeur of Maindlant, Pelena’s exaggerated colors seemed merely garish to her.
Her carriage, surrounded by Imperial Knights, entered Loyze Street, where only the highest echelons of society resided within Pelena. Dora, seated beside Neris, spoke.
“The carriage is slowing down more and more.”
Unlike his utterly unrestrained behavior in the conference room of the White Swan Castle, Adrian had shown consideration for Neris throughout her entire escort. Permitting Dora to join them—claiming he had no handmaidens of his own—was one such courtesy.
Neris still felt uneasy about leaving Dora behind, especially with her mother, who must have been shocked upon hearing her daughter was arrested on suspicion of noble murder. Yet, anything could happen during transit. Even if Adrian wished to deliver her safely, he couldn’t predict when another ambush might occur.
Thus, after much deliberation, Neris decided to trust Ellen and boarded the escort carriage with Dora. Dora, who had nearly single-handedly managed the affairs of the Western Palace and attended to Neris personally, performed the work of twelve throughout the journey.
“Yes. We’ll arrive soon.”
She welcomed the thought that this long journey was finally coming to an end. The season had changed en route, and now full winter had settled in—making travel far from comfortable. Neris nodded, but Dora, ever cautious as she had always been, narrowed her eyes alertly.
“However, this doesn’t seem to be anywhere near the Imperial Palace, milady. Stay on guard—they could attack us suddenly.”
Though it was called an escort carriage, it was merely a luxurious one, with Imperial Knights stationed around it. Thus, they could look out the windows, and Dora, seeing no structure resembling the Imperial Palace, reached that conclusion.
Yet, this surrounding area was very familiar to Neris. She replied idly.
“I see. Coming here was exactly as I expected. There won’t be any attack, so don’t worry.”
Dora blinked in surprise.
“As you expected…?”
Cold Male Lead Became My Clingy Husband (Female-Dominant)
Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.

Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
