His face was quite welcome to me.

I countered his affectionate gaze with a purposely stoic expression.

But I forgot the fact that if you stare at his handsome face for more than 10 seconds, you lose your combat power.

Darn it. My effort to maintain my poker face was frustratingly crumbling.

I stared at him with drowsy eyes, like someone reading a history book about a vanished country.

I must look quite sullen, right?

“You’re beautiful, Zelda….”

However, Rinel’s reaction was completely different from my expectation.

The short two words that came out of his mouth left a big impression on me.

Contrary to his freezing temperature, his sweet low voice that could melt a person is too harmful to my heart.

But I tried not to be shaken by his compliment.

“That’s out of nowhere.”

For some reason, my sour reaction deepened his smile.

My stern expression shatters like a biscuit under his smile.

He suddenly stepped back and looked at me with an enthralled gaze, and asked,

“Is there a special occasion today?”

Rinel extended his hand to me.

Fascinated by his perfect facial features, I promptly placed my hand in his palm.

He led me to the sofa with a smooth and gentle stride.

“I got some help from the skilled attendants.”

“Excellent. I thought you were someone else.”

Is my appearance today that much different?

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that your previous look was bad.”

“……I wasn’t thinking that until you mentioned it just now.”

“Oh, was that so?”

“Are you trying to intentionally remind me?”

“Hahaha, why would I?”

Rinel laughed louder than ever and denied my words.

However, his head was nodding forward.

Really now.

“You seem to be in a particularly good mood today, Emperor?”

‘Aren’t you happy to have not one but several harems?’

The deity abruptly intruded and provoked me.

He led me to the sofa near the window and sat down.

“Zelda, we agreed to call each other by name when we are alone, didn’t we?”

“Ah, right. Rinel.”

As soon as his name came out of my mouth, he sat down next to me with a satisfied expression.

“I’m happy. Seeing my beautiful wife is a pleasant thing, isn’t it?”

He crossed his elegantly stretched long legs and twisted his body towards me.

“That’s fortunate.”

I resolutely kept looking straight ahead and replied.

“If you had added that you tried to look good for me, I would have been happier.”

He pulled up the hem of my dress and said.

“You should have told me in advance, Rinel.”

Despite my intention to smile and speak, the corners of my mouth kept twisting as if smirking.

I tried to calmly bring up the harem topic, but it seems I made a mistake from the start.

“What do you mean? Your face tells me I’ve done something wrong.”

Rinel asked with an air that suggested he could never do such a thing.

There was no need for a long explanation, so I went straight to the point.

“There’s nothing wrong with having a harem.”

With that one sentence, he would know what I’m talking about.

“……What?”

He looked surprised, but not as if he had heard something completely absurd.

“Zelda, where did you hear that?”

Rinel asked with a furrowed brow.

Even so, the hem of my dress was still being lifted by his hand.

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.
