When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 38
She nearly let out a sigh right then. Only Enrico Michele would send such a note. Last time at the duke’s estate, he hadn’t said a word after she performed on stage—she couldn’t understand what he was trying to do now.
Was he just petty, or was he a master at getting under people’s skin? Either way, Emilia was grateful he hadn’t written her name, and she deliberately took a seat on the opposite side of the flower bouquet.
“Isn’t it just meant as a gesture for the hardworking ballerina?”
“So, for all of us, then?”
“Oh, I guess so? If it were for one person, he’d have written a name. And who’d send such an extravagant bouquet to the corps de ballet, not even a soloist?”
“Then could this be delivered to the wrong place? Is this really our dressing room?”
“Yes, I was asked to deliver it to the corps de ballet.”
The staff member bowed and left. The dancers burst into cheerful giggles, gathering around the basket and inhaling the floral scent. Since they never received such lavish flower arrangements, their reaction was pure curiosity.
“Could one of us actually have a patron?”
“Huh? You think so?”
“But why hide it? As long as it’s not someone from inside the company, it shouldn’t matter.”
Though it was just casual chatter, Emilia felt an odd pang in her chest. Pretending not to hear, she approached the dresser and deliberately avoided looking at the flower basket while waiting her turn.
One by one, as the dancers finished their makeup, they began warming up, gazing out the darkening window. Some even lingered near the window, peering outside upon hearing the murmurs from the first floor.
Emilia scanned the crowd gathering under the brilliant lights at the Avaliante Opera House, then moved backstage.
Principal dancers were receiving final instructions from the Chief Choreographer, tightening the ribbons of their pointe shoes. Emilia watched their retreating figures for a moment, then slipped into the group of corps dancers.
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.
