It was an especially cheerful day.

Adeline, feeling light on her feet, stretched luxuriously before getting out of bed and heading toward the window.

She pulled back the curtains that had remained closed all night and threw open the window wide.

Adeline puffed out her chest as much as she could and took a deep breath. The crisp air tickled her nostrils.

It was the first refreshing morning she’d experienced since entering the duke’s estate.

The sky was unusually clear and blue without a single cloud—today felt as though only good things could happen.

Just as she was thoroughly enjoying the fresh morning air,

Becky entered the bedroom. She had come to wake Adeline, but upon finding her already awake, Becky’s eyes widened in surprise.

Realizing Adeline was simply savoring the morning breeze, Becky greeted her with a knowing nod.

“Oh my! You’re already awake! The weather is truly clear today.”

“Ah, Becky. Isn’t it a lovely morning?”

Adeline greeted Becky with a smile.

Becky brought over a large shawl and wrapped it gently around Adeline.

“Even so, the morning air is bitterly cold. You must think of the child.”

Smiling, Adeline pulled the shawl tighter around herself and cradled her lower abdomen.

Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story)

Side Story 5 Side Story 4

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.

You’re bound to regret it if you skip this novel. Read the review & spoiler to find out what you might be missing!

  1. Miioo Chapter 40

    Escape, then escape, then escape, then lie, then lie. What is this, Adeline? Is the life you wanted just about running away? Why don’t you face the truth? Why lie? There’s no need to justify everything.

  2. Miioo Chapter 40

    Why do you run away from every problem you face? Why don’t you face the truth? You didn’t deceive him, and you didn’t do that.

  3. Miioo Chapter 42

    What does he say about fatherhood, and then rejoice that she aborted Hiro’s child? Is he stupid? He knows perfectly well that if she’s pregnant, it’s his child, the vile bastard.

  1. Aelthia Chapter 39 — Paragraph 78
    It was a sentence she’d never even considered during all her agonizing deliberat

    This girl really has a terrible relationship with the truth.

  2. Miioo Chapter 40 — Paragraph 1
    Rain poured endlessly as though a hole had opened in the sky, yet mysterious car

    Why is Adeline so stupid? She also thought she was pregnant, and now that she’s discovered she’s not, she’s never deceived him. She could have said she wasn’t pregnant and run away.

  3. Aelthia Chapter 43 — Paragraph 69
    “I told you—I don’t need anything. All I asked was for you to stay by my side.”

    As a mistress he can continuously humiliate and use to warm his bed if desired…will there never be an apology? I mean he still has everyone believing she’s the commoner mistress ‘Del’
