Unsurprisingly, only stoat sounds came out of my mouth. I forced a wry smile.
‘Haha, what was I thinking, a mere stoat trying to figure out the era or location.’
And even if I knew, what good would it do? I’m just a stoat.
‘Depressing.’
Feeling pitiful about my situation, I buried my head again. Hadal then pressed down on my head.
“Wondering why you suddenly drooped after being so lively? Sleepy now?”
“Vwiio.”
Leave me alone.
‘I’m a bipolar stoat. Don’t touch me.’
As I wallowed in self-pity, Hadal tilted his head.
“Really can’t figure out what you’re thinking.”
“Vwiio!”
I said don’t touch me!
I turned my head away irritably and then met Hadal’s gaze, wide-eyed.
‘Huh?’
In the deep darkness of the room, under the faint light, his face was…
‘Smiling?’
But as quickly as a mirage, the smile vanished. I rubbed my eyes with my front paws.
‘Did I see it wrong?’
I wanted to ask him to smile again, but he stood up, making it impossible to see his face anymore due to his height.
His footsteps echoed as he walked away. Before leaving, he said,
“Don’t even think about sneaking out. Sleep well.”
Where is he off to at this time of night?
‘Go ahead. Then I can roam around freely.’
Preferring solitude, I obediently responded,
“Vwiio.”
“The bathroom’s over there, use it if needed.”
“Vwiio.”
His finger pointed to a door in the middle of the wall.
‘That way leads to the bathroom?’
A hole in the wall for a bathroom?
‘Is this place even older than our palace?’
The palace I used to live in had been expanded and rebuilt over decades, so the original buildings were still intact. Most of these original structures had a design where waste could be disposed of through a hole in the wall, falling directly outside the fortress. The newer parts of the palace had external bathrooms.
‘So, I’ll avoid opening that door.’
Even though I’ve become an animal, I don’t fancy using such a bathroom. I should venture out of this room to find a proper one.
Just as I was firming up my resolve to escape,
“If you ignore my warning and wander around the castle recklessly…”
Hadal stopped mid-step and turned to look at me, as if reading my mind. I snorted.
‘Yeah right, like your threats will work on me.’
“I’ll never give you cookies again.”
“Vwiio?!”
Got me, right there.
As soon as he spoke, my eyes widened in alarm. I chewed on my front paws in dilemma.
‘Sob, sob, cookies. They’re too precious.’
It’s impossible to give up something I’ve already tasted and loved. Glaring at him with triangular eyes, I thought,
‘This guy! He deliberately fed me cookies just to manipulate me!’
But then,
‘Oh? He’s smiling again.’
This time I clearly saw it. The corners of Hadal’s usually rigid mouth were softly relaxed.
“Then, sleep well.”
His voice was as stern as ever, but it didn’t sound as harsh as before. Even after he closed the door and left, I blinked blankly for a while.
‘What’s with that guy? Why does he smile so sweetly?’
It’s almost like he likes me.
‘Ugh, it’s unsettling.’
Well, I might as well sleep. I curled up on the cushion. Despite knowing Hadal’s affection was for me as a stoat, my heart still raced uneasily through the night.
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.
