To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 38
“It was a dreadful place. They were always frantic, as if desperate to devour me. Even after I had you, they never stopped casting suspicious glances my way. That look felt like it was choking me. The citizens of Dongryeong were all the same. With a ruler like that, it’s no wonder everyone is so distrustful. Each day felt like living in hell.”
Rachel’s face was always filled with disgust whenever she spoke of her life in Dongryeong.
Because she’d been fed stories like brainwashing since she was too young to judge for herself, even now that she’d returned, she seemed to still misunderstand Dongryeong.
She had believed Dongryeong was a place where everyone eyed each other with suspicion, oppressed travelers, and constantly schemed to steal from others.
Thus, she’d expected entering the city gates would be difficult, but the guards not only let her through easily but even spoke to her kindly.
“Running an errand, are you? Isn’t it hot out in this weather?”
Ariana had pulled her hood low over her head because of her conspicuous hair color. Clutching the edge of her cloak, she shook her head and hurried through the gate.
Voices of the soldiers chatting behind her reached her ears.
“I heard kids your age hate being told what to do about everything. My older sister complains endlessly about how her child won’t listen.”
“True enough. My kid’s started getting stubborn lately too. Last winter, he insisted on swimming in the lake even though it was freezing to death.”
She’d unwittingly become a disobedient child, but it wasn’t a bad thing—it was better than being seen as a suspicious girl from Seryeong.
Since Elles City was Dongryeong’s capital, its roads were well-paved. The streets were clean and wide enough for two carriages to pass side by side.
The buildings lining both sides of the road were taller than those in Seryeong, and mostly light gray, giving the area a bright, airy feel.
It seemed the city center wasn’t far from the gate Ariana had entered, as buildings and people gradually grew more numerous. Though many vendors tried to solicit passing travelers, none approached Ariana, apparently thinking her just a child running an errand.
Display stands set out in front of shops held various goods, and many people paused as they passed to browse the wares. But Ariana didn’t spare them a glance and kept walking.
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.
