She hadn’t been able to visit the foundation often but did make periodic visits for major events or to review its situation.
Only a few knew that the eldest daughter of the Luscheff family was the operator of the foundation.
Not fond of standing out, Biare continued the operation using her family’s name.
Initially driven by a desire to continue her mother’s legacy, she now earnestly served as a pillar of the foundation.
When the Duke left the estate in the morning with his escort, Tonio, Biare, her two remaining knights, and Diane took the carriage together.
After staring out of the window for a while, Biare turned to one of her knights and asked.
“By the way, weren’t you from the cultural foundation?”
“Yes. Thanks to the Duchess’s sponsorship, I was able to join the knighthood.”
“Yes, you’ve become an excellent knight.”
He was one of the well-known talents from the cultural foundation.
Biare felt proud when those sponsored by the foundation made names for themselves in the capital.
They hadn’t sought rewards, but they expressed gratitude to the Luscheff family and pledged loyalty.
Her reason for visiting the foundation today was to assess the situation, but there was a more significant reason.
‘I need a new confidant.’
Someone who could be her shadow was what she needed most.
Ever since her return, she had felt the acute need for someone she could completely trust.
Even if Tonio and Diane had pledged loyalty, they were not employed by Biare.
Their true master was her father, Fredrik Luscheff.
She needed someone who could flawlessly execute tasks and dedicate their life in obedience.
So, under the guise of visiting the cultural foundation, she intended to recruit a new confidant.
‘That child must surely be associated with this cultural foundation.’
But Biare knew. She knew the female apprentice she had chosen would win.
In her past life, this apprentice, who had pledged loyalty to the royal knights, had solidified her place solely through her skills.
The organization known as the royal shadow admitted only the best of the best, and she had been selected for her exceptional abilities.
However, after getting entangled in a certain incident there, Joyan was abandoned and met an untimely death without ever getting the recognition she deserved.
‘In this life, I will help you live a new life to the fullest.’
The determination in the eyes of the young woman training at the edge of the training ground was profound.
She was someone who would not settle for the present but strove tirelessly to grasp a better future.
If she couldn’t hide her ambition, all the better.
It would be easier to manage someone so openly ambitious.
As the duel began, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the outcome was unpredictable.
Eventually, the male apprentice who first lost his composure dropped his sword, and the duel ended.
Everyone was shocked at the unexpected outcome, but Biare felt a surge of joy.
Here was someone whose talents were unrecognized simply because she hadn’t been given a fair chance.
The perfect person to complete Biare’s masterpiece.
The female apprentice, surprised at her own victory, looked at her hands with a breathless yet joyous expression.
Biare watched the duel with interest and slowly approached her, asking as if she was seeing her for the first time.
“What’s your name?”
“Joyan.”
“Right, Joyan. Come with me.”
Surprised by the sudden offer from the lady, those around were again taken aback, and one of her knights raised his voice.
“Miss…! We should discuss this with the Duke…”
“Don’t worry, I will speak to Father. You saw her skills, didn’t you?”
Biare’s gaze turned to the commoner knight from the cultural foundation.
The usually smiling man watched the duel with a serious expression, having also recognized the desperate potential in the female apprentice.
He seemed sure that if she joined the knighthood, she would become one of the best.
“Yes, she will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to the knighthood.”
“You heard that? Joyan, will you come with me?”
“I will pledge my loyalty for this opportunity you’ve given me, my lady.”
The girl, unnoticed anywhere else, resolved to dedicate her life to the lady who recognized her.
She would break away from her past as an unseen shadow and become a loyal retainer, burning herself to shine brightly for her master.
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.
