Even Jelin, with a puzzled expression as if she didn’t understand, widened her eyes, but I couldn’t explain the reason, so I just pursed my lips.
‘I got drunk and attacked Ascan.’
It was too embarrassing to say it honestly, so I mumbled quietly, avoiding eye contact.
“Just know it that way.”
“Oh, okay, Miss.”
Jelin only nodded with a bewildered expression.
The party hosted at the Kalua Palace had been prepared long before I arrived.
Although it hadn’t been long since I received the invitation, the date had already been set, so the day of the party arrived quickly.
I prepared more carefully than when I went to meet Helcyon last time.
I had no intention of being caught with a sorry appearance when meeting the Empress Serena and the people of the Manoco family at the party venue.
The accessories worn as head decorations were all valuable jewels, and the necklace and earrings were the epitome of dazzling beauty.
The dress had a style that revealed a slender waist, looking stunning at first glance, but in reality, it was very uncomfortable to move in.
But as they say, women become more beautiful the more they adorn themselves.
I endured the discomfort, and the reflection in the mirror was undoubtedly beautiful.
Looking at Jelin, who was finally adjusting the hem of the dress, I spoke.
“Jelin, I’ve thought about it, and it seems your words were right.”
“Huh?”
“When leaving the Arwen Empire, I wondered if I needed this many dresses and jewels, but now that I think about it, what if I hadn’t brought them?
Jelin responded to my words with a sly smile, saying, “As expected, I was right, wasn’t I?”
“Yeah. Jewels and dresses are indispensable for women. Next time we travel, I won’t say anything even if you bring ten suitcases.”
“Oh! Really? Is that a promise?”
As I nodded, Jelin smiled happily, as if she found it amusing.
Having completed the preparations for attending the party, I cautiously opened the door and observed the situation outside. It was a precautionary measure in case I ran into Ascan.
Zen, who was waiting right in front, looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked, “Why are you like this?”
“No, nothing. Let’s go.”
Fortunately, unlike when I went to meet Helcyon, Ascan was not visible. Unlike that time when he was invited to the palace together, this time, it seemed he didn’t come, as we hadn’t promised to go together.
I sighed in relief and went out to the entrance of the mansion with Zen.
As we were about to depart, there was a moment when we were about to start moving.
“Whoa!”
With the urgent voice of the coachman, the carriage stopped abruptly.
When I looked outside with a puzzled expression, someone suddenly entered the carriage as the door opened.
I could only hold my breath.
Ascan, dressed in a white Imperial Guard uniform, adorned magnificently, stared at me with fiery eyes and sat across from me in the carriage.
For some reason, he spoke to me with a smug smile, “I told you. Don’t make it more bothersome, just do as you were doing.”
“W-what did I do?”
I played dumb for now. Although the memory of our kiss flashed in my mind, I kept a casual expression while feeling my face heat up.
He spoke again, seemingly enjoying his mischievous grin, “Didn’t I say, don’t avoid me? Just do as you please.”
“Wh-what are you talking about?”
I pretended not to know. With that smug smile, I wasn’t ready to acknowledge that he remembered the moment.
“Did you think I wouldn’t notice you avoiding me?”
“Well, wasn’t that what you wanted anyway?”
There was a time when Ascan deliberately hid his appearance and avoided me.
He responded with a challenging gaze, “Even if that’s what you wanted at some point, it might not be anymore.”
Somehow, I felt like I could see the Ascan of the past in his eyes.
“Don’t distance yourself without my permission.”
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.
