The Terminally-Ill Duke Clings to Me Every Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 38
The mansion’s peaceful morning—its first in a long while—was shattered in an instant by a single letter.
“Come to the capital?”
Akia snorted and tossed aside the letter stamped with the imperial seal. He’d felt uneasy the moment he heard a royal messenger had arrived from the palace, and sure enough, his gut had been right.
“What utter nonsense.”
“But wouldn’t it be best if you went to the capital? His Majesty the Emperor is your cousin, after all, my lord.”
At that, Akia fixed Leah with a sharp, piercing glare. Though she’d only briefly mentioned “His Majesty,” the very air around him shifted palpably.
‘So it really is connected to the Emperor, after all.’
Rumors circulating in the capital claimed the Emperor held the Duke in especially high regard.
Yet everything Leah had personally witnessed and experienced here contradicted that entirely. Seeing the Duke’s reaction, her vague suspicions hardened into certainty.
‘It must be about the imperial succession.’
Akia, the late Emperor’s legitimate firstborn son, had been denied the throne due to his frail health. Instead, his cousin Ilay had become Emperor in his place.
From Ilay’s perspective, Akia—bearing rightful legitimacy—must have been a thorn in his side. In truth, no one would desire the Duke’s death more than the Emperor himself.
‘Huh. I don’t know anymore.’
She’d always thought matters like imperial succession or power struggles had nothing to do with her. Yet somehow, she’d ended up in the same boat as the Duke.
Learning the Duke’s secrets had made her life as an apothecary far more complicated. Leah had only intended to brew his antidote and quietly leave the mansion afterward.
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.
