The fire illuminated the darkness brightly. The crackling sounds were as soothing as the fireplace logs burning, and the flames rising in the night sky were as exquisite as a firefly’s celebration.
Watching the fire from a distance was so dazzlingly beautiful.
“Yeah, this is the finale. Not some ball.”
Rene, who was casually looking down from the clock tower, murmured. There was a smile on his lips. Then…
“Damn Empress.”
Suddenly, he spat out a curse while meticulously chewing on his lips.
“Daring to cause me such trouble.”
In the irate eyes of Rene, the hardships of the past three days flashed by like a ghostly lantern.

“If you want to kill Adrian, go ahead. I won’t do anything.”
For three days after leaving the palace, that thought remained firm. He left his house with his baggage in a state of mind that he didn’t care about what happened afterward.
However, everything changed shortly after getting on the carriage.
As the shared carriage entered the main street, he spotted the girl he had met at Codel 12 the day before. The girl was being harassed in front of a restaurant with a small boy.
“Can’t you just leave? We have nothing to do with beggars like you.”
“I didn’t come to beg. I have money.”
The girl showed a silver coin she held in her palm. The owner glanced down at the child’s hand but didn’t grant entry.
“It’s still not allowed. If dirty kids like you come in, all the customers in the restaurant will run away. If you want to eat here, take the food and eat at home.”
The owner spoke as if he would gladly bestow that level of mercy. At that moment, a customer appeared.
“Is there a seat inside?”
The owner’s gaze shifted unhesitatingly to the guest. The owner quickly assessed the appearance and attire of the guest to understand his financial situation.
Judging it to be quite affluent, his expression became polite.
“Of course, there are seats. How many people are in your party?”
“Including me, three.”
“Ah, then should I guide the guest to a seat first? The rest of your party can come a bit later?”
“No.”
Rene pointed to the two little kids beside him.
“My party is right here.”
While the owner’s face stiffened like stone, Rene calmly continued.
“Bring the most expensive dish from this place. As for the seating… there.”
She looked into the store and pointed with her finger.
It was the best seat in the house.
Although the owner hesitated for a moment, the quick bounce of his internal bargaining quickly resulted in a response that there wouldn’t be any loss in business.
“Please come in. You also, children.”
The owner shamelessly smiled at the children and led the way. Rene followed, realizing that she was walking alone.
“Aren’t you coming in?”
Despite her question, the girl firmly held onto her younger brother’s hand and refused to follow. The younger brother seemed eager to go inside, but the girl was stubborn.
“We’re not beggars.”
“When did I call you beggars? I can’t remember.”
Rene, as if trying to recall, tilted his head to the side and spoke.
“It’s fine to plead with the restaurant owner, but helping you seems to be a different story.”
“…”
“Life must be tough for a kid.”
The girl boldly retorted to Rene’s sarcasm.
“The restaurant owner didn’t say our family had to scatter.”
“He probably didn’t say only that, right? Because…”
‘He probably didn’t want to mix words with you.’
However, even the outspoken Rene found it challenging to say such things in front of children. She sighed briefly and skipped through the middle of the conversation.
“Stagnant water rots. Your Codel tribe needs to disperse a bit.”
“If family scatters, they quickly become distant, you know.”
“That’s why if it’s a family that will become distant, you can’t call them a family from the start.”
“…”
At that moment, the store door opened, and the owner announced that the table was ready.
When the fragrant smell of butter wafted through the open door, the younger brother couldn’t take it anymore and grabbed his sister’s hand, but the sister firmly asserted that she wouldn’t go inside without concluding the conversation.
“Please pay for what we eat with our money.”
“Sure.”
Rene agreed readily. Then, turning halfway, she seemed curious and turned back.
“Where did you get the money?”
“Sto…”
“I know it’s not stolen. I’m not asking in suspicion, so relax.”
Rene precisely caught what the girl was about to say and spoke. The girl answered with a slightly softened gaze.
“Mr. Ad gave it to us. He said to buy something delicious.”
“…”
“He’s such a good man. Other adults would lecture and scold even when they give much less money, but he felt sorry instead.”
“Why… do you think he felt sorry?”
Rene asked.
“I don’t know. Maybe because he couldn’t give more.”
The girl blushed shyly, her cheeks turning pink.
“I’ll marry Mr. Ad when I grow up. That’s why I’m diligently learning letters.”
As the girl’s cheeks turned redder, Rene felt an awkward feeling.
‘I wish I didn’t know.’
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.
