The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
Clayton, who had brought Lloyd here despite taking everyone’s scorn, was now surrounded by people at the center of the banquet hall.
They had merely entered together—otherwise, they might as well have been strangers.
‘Damn you, Clayton! At least look after him a bit! I can’t possibly take care of the woman rumored to be your mistress!’
Dahlia swallowed the words she couldn’t actually say to Clayton.
Ugh, damn it.
First, the male lead tried to drink her blood, and then, out of nowhere, the Dowager Duchess forced her to attend this party.
None of it was going her way—the noblewomen she’d expected to scorn her were suddenly showing unexpected kindness.
As the evening continued to unravel contrary to her expectations, Dahlia anxiously bit her lip.
‘What do I do now?’
She glanced subtly toward the male lead, only to find that his gaze had long since left her. She needed an incident powerful enough to draw his attention back to herself.
Just as she bit her lip, searching for a solution, she spotted a familiar figure not far away.
‘That person…’
It was Marchioness Borsen, who’d been in seclusion at her mansion ever since causing a scene at the teahouse.
Apparently, she’d attended the banquet with her husband on account of His Imperial Majesty the Emperor’s birthday celebration.
‘Goodness. Never thought I’d ever be glad to see that woman.’

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.
