The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 164
“Ruby emerged from Delma’s vase.”
Nelusion nodded as he listened to Joseph’s report.
“And?”
“The Duchess’s head maid, butler, and several other servants witnessed it. There are loud calls to expel Delma.”
“Then expel her.”
It was a cold statement to make about someone who had fed and cared for his beloved younger sister since infancy. Yet Joseph admired Nelusion precisely for this trait.
Kindness alone held little power. An appearance that lulled others into lowering their guard required the intellect to exploit that lapse and achieve one’s goals.
As far as Joseph knew, Nelusion was the person in this world who best embodied that perfect balance of both. That was why he disliked Neris.
Neris Trude had always been a child who gave people an uneasy feeling. Joseph occasionally reflected upon the night he had missed his chance to kill Cledwin Maindlant—how she had suddenly appeared at such a suspiciously convenient spot.
Had that child truly been there for her lesson, he sometimes wondered.
In fact, hadn’t it later come to light that she hadn’t even attended the lesson at all?
But she had only been a twelve-year-old child then. A village girl stepping out of her hometown for the first time would have had no reason—and likely no courage—to lie so brazenly to unfamiliar knights.
Joseph had told himself this again and again, yet the unease never faded.
That discomfort had only intensified since she entered this household under suspicion of murder. Joseph had escorted Neris several times under Nelusion’s orders. On certain occasions, she would stare fixedly at his hands.
Though those stares never lasted long, Joseph, as the subject of her avoidance, couldn’t help but frown. It was as if… she loathed something about him. As if he had committed some violence against her…
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.

The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
