In a white tunic with golden threads twisted like baby strings around the waist, Jadein Calton, the one wearing such attire, was happily waving his hand outside the window.
His sunny and carefree appearance almost made her forget.
‘Isn’t this the fourth floor?’
“No… How did you get up here?”
“Climbed up the wall.”
Even though the window was closed, his voice was clear and distinct.
“Will you open the door?”
“Ah…”
After hesitating for a moment, Liz opened the door.
“Thanks.”
Jadein smiled brightly and leaped off the window sill.
His movements were light. Liz thought novices in the clergy would be somewhat sluggish in physical activity, but it was unexpected.
Well, come to think of it, if his body were sluggish, he wouldn’t have been able to climb up here.
After tidying himself up for a moment, Jadein joined his hands in front of his chest and made a courteous gesture.
“May peace dwell in your heart.”
“You said everything in Imperial language earlier, why suddenly switch to Caltonese?”
“It’s just a habit.”
He said casually. Liz asked again.
“Why pretend you can’t speak Imperial in front of people?”
“There’s nothing good about it being known. It’s just a hassle. And above all, it’s fun to gossip freely in Imperial language in front of me.”
‘A more mischievous guy than he looks.’
Watching the lanky man, Liz thought.
“Why are you here?”
“I thought you’d want to meet me.”
“…”
Liz didn’t deny it.
In fact, there were plenty of things she wanted to ask him. To have him personally come and find her amidst her contemplation on how to meet him was more than fortunate.
She was a bit worried about going down, but she could figure that out later.
“For now, please sit.”
Liz suggested a seat. Jadein spoke.
“It might be better not to?”
“…?”
“The Emperor is a sharp man. Much more than you think. He’ll quickly notice the scent of a strange man. It’s better if I just stand and talk like this.”
“Are you serious?”
But at that moment, Liz recalled how Hershiss had found her hiding. What this man said might be true.
“Let’s just talk standing like this.”
It wasn’t polite, but it was better than a troublesome situation.
The two of them didn’t move a step from where Jadein had jumped down the windowsill.
“Well, let’s cut to the chase and ask. I’ll have some water.”
“As much as you want.”
“Who are you, really?”
“You’ve probably heard it from the Emperor, haven’t you?”
“I did. But I want to confirm it again. Are you really a prophet?”
“That’s right. But not at the moment.”
‘Not at the moment?’
“Why not?”
He grinned slyly and suddenly asked, “How old do I look like to you?”
“…?”
“I’m eleven years old.”
Liz looked him up and down with her eyes widened.
Then, as if playing with people now, just when she was about to furrow her brows in suspicion, his calm words continued.
“The moment a clergy becomes a tool of the gods, their age is reset. It’s because they are reborn. Since they are reborn, they need to receive their abilities again. It’s a new ability to be used for a more sacred and noble purpose, rather than useless powers that indulge in worldly desires.”
Jadein’s eyes sparkled like silver sand.
“For some, it might be patience enduring hardships and filth, while for others, it could be the determination not to submit to unreasonable power. I’m not as good as that, but I have received quite a special ability.”
“…”
Though I don’t understand what the will of the gods is, I understood the gist.
‘Looks like I no longer have the foresight ability.’
But that wasn’t important.
“Still, you probably remember the future you saw in the past, right? So… you must have known that this place wasn’t originally my place.”
Jadein blinked his eyes deeply as if to convey that meaning.
“Do you know what future you saw in the past? How much do you know?”
“I can’t tell you that.”
It was a firm tone.
“Why… why not?”
Anxiety crept over Liz’s face.
“It’s not like if you tell me, both the teller and the listener will lose their lives or face a great calamity… or something like that, right?”
“It’s not that…”
Jadein chuckled.
“I find it more interesting not to know.”
“…”
Liz momentarily wanted to give this man a good slap.
‘What does he mean by saying he’ll watch how much I struggle wearing something that isn’t even my own?’
As Liz’s expression turned displeased, he stopped laughing and said, “If I look at you as you awkwardly try on clothes that aren’t yours, it means I’ll watch how you handle something unfamiliar, right?”
As Liz tried to ask him to say more, it was useless.
He was a man with a soft exterior but a solid core.
“What will you do if you know? Will you continue to do what you used to do in your original role? New wine belongs in new wineskins.”
‘If the new wineskin is tough leather, you can hold as much as you want. But what if I’m a piece of cloth with holes all over?’
Though Liz tried to persuade him to tell her a few more times, it was in vain.
He was a man with a soft exterior but a solid core.
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.
