‘Why do you keep chasing me!’
A sudden pursuit happening in broad daylight.
The opponent was none other than Adenmir, the First Prince of the Empire and my former fiancé.
“Miss, who is coming towards the annex? Oh? It’s His Highness, the First Prince?”
From the moment Masa, who looked out the window, informed about the appearance of the First Prince, I was running around inside and outside the annex.
There was no other choice.
“I’m sorry for bothering you all this time. After the annulment, I’ll try my best not to be conspicuous.”
Isn’t it something one should keep once said?
Whether he knew about my efforts or not, the First Prince searched every corner of the annex. As someone striving to keep the promise, it was maddening.
After wandering through various places like the bedroom, garden, backyard, reception room, dining room, and every corner of the annex, I was exhausted.
“Phew, that was tough.”
I leaned against a tree in the backyard, gasping for breath. It seemed like he was near the stables a while ago; it would take quite some time for him to come all the way here.
By the way, the annulment went well, and he has been consistently sending the antidote. Why is he persistently looking for me like this?
‘Is there a problem with the antidote?’
If there was an issue, he could convey it through a letter. I couldn’t understand why he insisted on meeting.
Taking a brief rest, I turned towards the building again to escape.
That’s when it happened.
“I finally found you.”
“Gasp.”
Turning my head at the voice from behind, Adenmir, who was inexplicably smiling, was approaching me.
Unconsciously taking a step back, he came two steps closer. In the suddenly narrowed distance, the First Prince questioned me, seemingly investigating.
“Why are you avoiding me?”
Strangely, I was the one who felt perplexed at Adenmir’s question.
“Well, I promised that after the annulment, I wouldn’t be conspicuous in your eyes…”
Considering the conditions agreed upon for the annulment, why was he pursuing me as if he didn’t know anything?
For some reason, he looked displeased, as if saying that my efforts to avoid him were not appreciated.
“Is that what you call running away like this? Until when?”
“Until I die…?”
“…”
Adenmir looked at me as if dumbfounded. However, it was I who was truly astonished.
It seemed inappropriate to watch my former fiancée who had annulled our engagement. How could he not appreciate my tearful efforts to consider his feelings?
“Because it might be uncomfortable for you to see me.”
“It’s not uncomfortable.”
Saying that, he took a few steps closer to me.
Although I wanted to step back due to the discomfort of the excessive proximity, a beautiful tree blocked my way.
For some reason, feeling suffocated, I pressed my body against the tree and opened my mouth.
“You… don’t like it.”
“Who said that? I don’t dislike the lady.”
“…”
I knew, Masa knew, the nobles of the capital knew, and even the citizens of the Empire knew that the First Prince Adenmir disliked me.
He had been advertising it throughout his body. Saying, ‘Who said that,’ was just too much.
I stopped trying to say that the entire nation knows.
It seemed pointless now, and I didn’t want to engage in verbal sparring when it wasn’t about me.
Having lost words to say, I sighed as he, with an emotionless face, looked down at me and asked, “Is it uncomfortable for the lady?”
“No?”
There was no reason for discomfort when I had no regrets about the First Prince. He was neither good nor bad, just a neutral acquaintance.
However, Adenmir’s response was unexpected. “That’s good.”
What’s good?
“Why are you like this?”
I, who was fed up with the unpredictable man, squinted my eyes and scrutinized his face.
“Maybe…”
I called him with a serious tone.
“Your Highness.”
“Why?”
“Perhaps, have you taken poison?”
“…What?”
“Hallucination, nausea… If you suspect any symptoms, right now.”
Once again, Adenmir looked at me as if dumbfounded. However, I was dead serious this time.
There was no guarantee that the First Prince, who used poison against the emperor, wouldn’t use it against the First Prince himself.
But instead of answering my question, Adenmir, with a mix of laughter, began to talk nonsense.
“Now you’re even diagnosing. Anyone would think the lady is my personal physician.”
“If you get kicked out of your family later, remember to take me in.”
Although I responded to his joke with another joke, Adenmir, looking puzzled, asked, “Why would the lady be kicked out?”
Embarrassed.
It might be a meaningless question, but there might be something that bothered him. It was probably because I had some leverage. I smiled as if everything was normal.
“Just saying. A joke, haha.”
“…”
Even after exchanging jokes, the atmosphere showed no signs of easing.
Although it was incomprehensible to me, Adenmir seemed to have significant regrets about me running away.
“Lady.”
“Yes?”
“If the lady avoids me, the third party might think there’s something between us.”
“Yes?”
“Is there something? Between us?”
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.
