The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 88
Inside the western annex of the Seyear Mansion.
Margaret, standing by the window and silently listening to her maid’s report, turned around in sudden alarm.
“Is that truly the case?”
“Yes. According to that child, she heard it quite clearly herself.”
Her maid added gravely—the news she had just received from the person planted within the mansion.
“His Grace ordered the butler to put medicine into Madam’s dinner. She doesn’t know what kind of medicine it is.”
“Are you absolutely certain?”
“Yes, Dowager Duchess.”
Having double-checked to ensure she hadn’t misheard, Margaret received the same answer again. Her expression darkened further as she recalled an incident from several days prior.
“Medicine… Didn’t Clayton say he’d met with Selmon recently?”
“Yes. It’s presumed he obtained the medicine from his personal physician at that time.”
Now lacking the strength to remain standing, the Dowager Duchess sank into a chair and tapped the desk with a troubled expression. The sound of her slender fingers striking the desk echoed through the room.
Several days ago, Clayton had held a long consultation with his personal physician, Selmon. Though she never discovered what they discussed, it now seemed clearly linked to the medicine he’d ordered placed in the evening meal.
‘He wouldn’t be giving Dalia nutritional supplements—not after locking her in the tower.’
He must be preparing to take some decisive action to end this situation.

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.
