“…Repulsive?”
That was the first time I had ever heard such a word. To describe Lilia, who is kind and pure, a typical romance novel’s heroine, as repulsive.
“Some people are like that, smiling in front of you but badmouthing behind your back. I think Miss Lilia could be just like that.”
“Mirabel, do you have delusions of grandeur or something?”
Liz asked, to which Mirabel firmly replied,
“No. But people have feelings, you know. And my feeling about this is quite accurate.”
At that, Liz thought,
‘I doubt that. Considering she took care of a villain like me in the original work till the end.’
“Anyway, don’t keep Miss Lilia by your side.”
Mirabel insisted.
“I’m not planning to.”
“But you apologized a moment ago.”
“That’s because…”
‘I don’t want to be seen negatively by the male lead.’
Liz recalled Kain, who had been watching her confrontation with Lilia at the entrance of the corridor a moment ago.
‘He must know by now, right? That I won’t harm Lilia anymore.’
But that wasn’t the only reason for her words.
Liz wanted to say goodbye to her old self and live a new life.
Preferably without getting entangled with the two main characters.
Surprisingly, considering it came from her foolhardy head, it was a rather good idea.
She even surprised herself with her cunning side.
Liz let out a small laugh and said,
“Anyway, it’s not like I’m trying to be close friends.”
“That’s a relief. But Madam is too much, isn’t she? A comingofage ceremony, and she even wants to match the dress with the Miss.”
“What’s wrong with that? If we’re going to match, it’s convenient to do it all in one place.”
“What will other people say if they see?”
“They will say, ‘A generous Lady Berium, who treats her legitimate and illegitimate children equally.'”
And that was the words her mother wanted to hear, the ultimate reason for Lilia’s belated comingofage ceremony.
Mirabel deeply agreed with Liz’s words.
“Anyway, did you hear what Mother said? Talk to the dress shop. I don’t know when the visit will be possible, though.”
“In three days.”
Mirabel replied without hesitation, and Liz was taken aback.
“What? That quickly?”
“Yes. There was a cancellation, and luckily we could take that spot. A childhood friend of mine is working under that tailor. Things went well.”
Wow…… Mirabel, you have good connections.
“That’s great. We can proceed quickly. I want to get the comingofage ceremony over with as soon as possible.”
It was all going to be Mirabel’s responsibility, and she was doing it reluctantly, but Liz wanted to lighten her workload as much as possible.
“By the way, have you chosen a partner?”
Ah…… that’s right, there was the issue of a partner.
She just thought of it now.
‘Who should I choose as my partner?’
(This is a time separator.)
“How is it? Do you like it?”
Kain asked after rearranging a few pieces of furniture in Lilia’s room, as she had requested for efficiency. Though that was merely an excuse, and only she knew it.
“Yeah. I like it.”
Lilia smiled sweetly and simply affirmed, intending to speak her original purpose. But Kain asked first,
“Do you have anything else you need me to do?”
“…….”
That phrase was always on Kain’s lips.
But Lilia almost never asked him for anything. She knew that Liz often made unreasonable demands on him, and that he was very stressed about it.
She did not want to exploit Kain like her sister did. So, she took care of trivial matters herself and cautiously asked for his help with tasks that required effort.
‘How badly must she have treated him for him to run to my sister like a dog at the mere sight of her outside the window?’
The fact that Kain had gone to her sister without even hearing her offer made her feel better.
“I don’t have anything to ask of you, but…….”
“……?”
Lilia opened her mouth with difficulty. To tell him the real reason she had called him to this room.
“Kain, about the comingofage ceremony. Will you be my dance partner?”
Mother had heard that she should secure dance partners in advance.
So she had received a list of some noble young men, but not knowing who was who, the first dance somehow felt like a first experience. So she didn’t want to choose by reputation alone.
The first dance was with the partner she wanted to dance with. And that was Kain.
“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.”
“……?”
“A dance with a servant, Miss. And with someone like me at the social debutante ball. People will laugh.”
It didn’t matter what people thought.
But Lilia couldn’t easily say it, fearing somehow that it might sound like a confession.
Having seen how her sister and Kain got along, the perceptive Lilia knew that he was speaking in a roundabout way to reject her.
It was something her sister might do, thrusting without pride.
“I understand. If that’s what you want…”
I’ll approach you slowly. Not thrusting around like my sister.
“Miss, you’re beautiful enough, so the good young men will line up soon.”
“…….”
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.
