“It’s a sign of premature birth.”
The doctor’s diagnosis was as expected.
She thought it would be fine since there hadn’t been any major movements, but that wasn’t the case.
The doctor mentioned that mental stress is more harmful to pregnant women than physical labor. He also said that she needed to be on bed rest for a while and must absolutely ensure stability.
For the first time, Doctor Noh, who always appeared cheerful, showed a worried expression. Liz could easily tell that the situation was much worse than expected.
“I must inform His Majesty right away.”
Liz urgently objected to the doctor’s suggestion.
“Later. Since there is an ongoing discussion about post-war matters right now, I’ll inform him after the meeting is over.”
Liz said. The doctor agreed to do as she said, insisting once again that she should rest without moving. Citizens followed the doctor to receive separate instructions.
Eishar did not withdraw. Although a faint worry seemed to seep into his indifferent gaze, Liz only saw his indifferent eyes. Still, she felt the need to express her gratitude to him.
“Thank you, Sir Eishar. If it weren’t for you, it could have been a big problem.”
“It was just a matter of course. You don’t need to thank me.”
After he responded succinctly, he added.
“You should rest in bed for a while.”
“Yes, I suppose so. But it’s okay. I never liked going outside much anyway. Now, I don’t have to show my face to the nobles under the excuse of this and that.”
Liz spoke with a deliberately cheerful tone. It was to suppress something that kept welling up.
Eishar knew he should have said something about it. However…
“Please do so.”
Unexpectedly, he didn’t scold her.
As Liz looked at him with a puzzled expression, Eishar spoke with a composed face.
“Why… do you see me like that?”
“It’s a bit surprising. I thought you would surely scold me. Complaining about the duties of the empress while you’re at it.”
“Is there a bigger responsibility than safely giving birth to the Crown Prince? And… I’m not such a heartless person.”
“Ah… Yes.”
The corners of Liz’s mouth twitched ambiguously.
‘He says he doesn’t know himself the most…’
Suddenly, Liz realized that she had been keeping him standing all this time. It wasn’t polite to leave the person who had safely escorted her to bed standing.
“If you’re not busy, please sit for a moment.”
Whether he was truly busy or not, Eishar obediently sat down.
However, once he was seated, Liz realized she didn’t have anything particular to say. Eishar didn’t say anything either, and awkward silence filled the room.
She needed to find something to talk about, so Liz quickly rolled her head. And finally, she found a conversation starter.
“Have you heard that the Crown Prince’s arms have grown well?”
Perhaps she thought it might be necessary to prepare for an early birth. For that, they needed hope.
Hope that even in a world with insufficient medical technology, premature twins could grow up healthy.
“No, I haven’t heard of it.”
Eishar’s words plunged Liz into a deep abyss, if only for a brief moment.
“Instead, I’ve experienced it. Even though I was born as the seventh twin, I grew up healthy and inherited the family.”
“Really?”
Liz’s eyes, which had been dimming, sparkled brightly like stars.
With a brightened face, Liz asked, “Who is that? Is it a famous figure?”
“I don’t know if it’s famous… No.”
“…What?”
Looking at Liz’s round eyes, Eishar reiterated clearly.
“I was born as the seventh twin. They all said we would die soon, so they didn’t even name us, but as you can see, I didn’t die, and I’ve been living for twenty-five years. I even grew up healthier than my siblings born before reaching full term.”
Eishar’s pale gray eyes didn’t waver as he spoke.
“I see…”
Liz nodded calmly, or at least she thought so. However…
“Sob…”
Unbeknownst to her, a sob escaped her. The emotions she had barely suppressed surged up in an instant, piercing through her throat and turning into a cry.
The exact reason for this couldn’t be identified.
It seemed like she was witnessing emotions that had become such a subtle shade that it was impossible to discern what color they originally were. However…
Regret. That, she was sure of.
Did she think of the child as a nuisance? Did she think of it as an obstacle interfering with her work? Did she realize that?
Did she feel hurt by her mother’s unfavorable thoughts about her? She wondered if the child, who constantly sent signals from the womb, noticed that she didn’t respond properly. Did it want to come out quickly? Did it want to show itself?
With these thoughts, Liz felt her chest tightening.
To think that she only felt the preciousness when it might be lost. What was different between her and her mother?
In the midst of this, Eishar’s calm recollection provided great comfort to her heart.
Tears flowed incessantly.
To cry so unabashedly in front of others. She didn’t know if she would get scolded by him again for showing a weak side.
‘I need to stop.’
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.
