“Discarding that guy and coming to me?”
Excuse me? Why all of a sudden?
Riley blinked in surprise.
What on earth is going on? What did I just hear? Why is this senior suddenly acting like this? What should I say in response, should I reject him? Her mind filled with question marks, and her vision turned white.
Caught in the midst of hesitation and struggling to find an answer, Ban burst into loud laughter.
“Haha! It was a joke; why are you so shocked?”
Is he crazy?
Riley furrowed her eyebrows at him for the first time. Such an absurd joke in such a serious situation!
She felt as if her heart would fall out. Riley let out a relieved sigh and wiped her chest. She worried that it might be sincere.
In the first place, what is another man’s confession before marriage? And to top it off, it’s Senior Ban… She didn’t want their relationship to become awkward.
“Please don’t make such jokes again.”
“I heard you had a serious argument with your future husband, so I thought maybe you had some intention towards me.”
“…We didn’t fight. Well, anyway, I don’t plan to get divorced. I have no intention of divorce. Of course, I don’t know about him…”
As Gibben’s angry face came to Riley’s mind, she quickly shut her mouth.
Ban clicked his tongue.
“Being engaged but not being sure or trusting each other. Is that what your relationship is like? It’s much more interesting than I thought.”
“Senior, you don’t know our situation.”
“I don’t know, and I don’t particularly want to know. Still, I can tell it’s not a marriage based on love.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
Riley lowered her head and tightly clenched her skirt’s hem. It felt like she wanted to cry after confirming that her marriage lacked love from others.
“…Do you love him?”
“…How do I appear in Senior’s eyes?”
“It seems like you’re just struggling alone.”
“…That’s accurate.”
Ban was truly sharp. Sometimes his insight was chilling. How did he know everything so well? Could he be using some kind of magic to see through everything?
“A relationship that’s heavily tilted is miserable for only one side. It won’t last long.”
“…”
“But well, you’re going to get married anyway, right? Even if it’s just a superficial marriage, what’s the problem? Besides, he’s the one you have.”
“…I’m afraid I might keep wanting more. I’m afraid I might unconsciously cross the line.”
“I can’t understand that. If you want to cross the line, then cross it. If you want to be greedy, be desperate and greedy. What’s the problem?”
At Ban’s words, Riley lowered her head deeply. For a moment, the words she had heard from Claire, which had been bothering her ears, came to her mind.
“Riley, if you keep obsessing over others and only seek affection, you’ll become nothing more than a clingy person. Do you know how annoying you are right now? And how much it disgusts people?”
The more you seek love, the more you’ll be hated.
A cold voice echoed in my ears.
“Gibben is someone precious to me.”
“So?”
“I don’t want to appear hateful to him. I like the way things are now; I just… don’t want to make him tired of me.”
At Riley’s words, Ban blinked as if bewildered. Then, almost immediately, he chuckled as if he found it amusing and lightly tapped Riley on the head.
“Ah! Why did you hit me?”
“I was curious if a fearless guy like you had thought about marrying that weirdo.”
“…”
“Now that I see it, you’re not fearless at all; you’re a complete coward, huh?”
“Yeah, I’m very scared.”
“A guy who’s scared did such a daring thing?”
“…”
“You decided to marry that guy. Do you know what kind of things only big guys usually do?”
“At that time, I didn’t think it was a big deal. He was the one who saved me in the most desperate moment, and I thought it was a great fortune to be able to marry him. Honestly, I don’t regret choosing marriage even now. If I could go back to that time, I would make the same choice.”
“Fine then. You didn’t have the courage to confront it in the first place; it’s funny.”
Ban stuck out his tongue as if to say, “Who cares about this.”
“Anyway, if the relationship is already skewed, no matter what you do, it will only end up ruined.”
“…”
“But well, if the relationship is already leaning, trying to make it horizontal is less unfair, don’t you think?”
“…Horizontal.”
“Pretend to be crazy and confront it. Honestly, in my opinion, no matter what you do, that guy will never leave you.”
“…Why?”
“Seeing him marrying a woman he doesn’t even love, it probably means you’re quite useful to him. There’s a high chance you don’t know the details. Then use that situation to your advantage. That’s being smart. What’s the point of stupidly suffering alone? Whatever you do, it won’t change anything.”
The more Ban spoke, the more surprising his sharpness became.
He didn’t know anything about the internal circumstances of this marriage. He hadn’t asked Riley about it.
But somehow, did he act like he knew that Gibben chose marriage to fulfill the mentor’s will? At this point, could he really read minds?
“You talk like it’s nothing.”
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.
