This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
“Ariel, Lady Ariel. Please open your eyes.”
“Anna?”
“Hurry and get up. You’re always an early riser—how can you possibly oversleep on your wedding day?”
Hearing Anna’s nagging, Ariel burst out laughing. She had just woken from a dream in which an unknown man had been chasing her the entire time—a tall, dark man who made the nightmare all the more terrifying.
Still shaken by the lingering unease of that dream, Ariel sat dazed on the bed, staring blankly at Anna. Anna gathered the billowing curtains, puffed up by the breeze drifting through the open window, and neatly tied them back with both hands.
“Anna, thank you for coming back safely. I’m always grateful, and I love you.”
Taken aback by Ariel’s sudden words, Anna broke into a bashful smile. Anna had returned only an hour after Ariel came back last night, claiming she’d been delayed by personal errands, and tried to reassure Ariel—but Ariel didn’t believe her. She knew full well that Anna would never do anything to make her worry.
“Lady Ariel, please come over here quickly.”
The two sat across from each other at the table, where a light meal had been prepared.
“Tell me the truth. Did Ludvian really just take the oil and then let you go?”
For just an instant, Ariel noticed Anna’s expression stiffen.
“Anna.”
At Ariel’s pressing tone, Anna let out a soft sigh. She’d intended to wait until after the wedding to bring this up—but now, as if having made up her mind, she set down the coffee cup she’d been holding.
“Actually… yesterday, I was captured by Lord Ludvian. He only released me later, and told me to pass on this message: from now on, if you don’t come yourself, he won’t send back whoever you send in your place.”
“Oh… I’m sorry, Anna. Because of me. Next time, I’ll handle it myself.”
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.
