A few days later, Cordelia visited Leonard’s bedroom as usual to chat aimlessly when the door suddenly burst open.
“Craig!”
“Lady of the House.”
In this castle, there was only one person who could behave so rudely.
Cordelia immediately stood up and lightly bowed to Helena.
Of course, Helena ignored Cordelia as if she didn’t even see her and went straight to Craig.
“Can you move around now?”
“…….”
“Ah, Craig. Seeing you move around like this, I am really… oh. So relieved. Do you know how worried I was?”
Helena forced tears out of her eyes and reached out her hands to embrace her son, but Leonard subtly dodged her.
Before the atmosphere could become more awkward, Cordelia quickly intervened.
“He has improved a lot. Now he can move around quite well.”
“Craig, do you remember anything?”
“What?”
He responded very arrogantly, and surprisingly, Helena seemed pleased with his demeanor.
“How strange. Even if you can’t remember the past, your personality is the same. I think your memory will return soon.”
His uncooperative attitude actually lessened her suspicions.
After all, who would suspect that a man who narrowly escaped death would have another person’s soul in his body?
“Jared will handle it well, right? I trust only our Craig.”
“Jared?”
“Oh, your cousin. Jared Abrams.”
“One of the hyenas drawn by the scent of blood.”
Helena interrupted Cordelia’s explanation and quickly chimed in. She pretended to wipe her fake tears and said,
“Craig, you can’t let Jared take your earldom.”
“Uh, what.”
“Hurry up and get back on your feet to show him you’re still strong. Only then can I rest easy.”
Helena continued her endless stream of nagging, disguised as concern.
Naturally, Leonard didn’t seem to pay any attention.
“I’m tired.”
He threw in a comment as Helena’s talk dragged on.
“Oh. Cordelia. What are you doing? Hurry up and let Craig rest.”
“Yes.”
As if she had been the one holding him up all this time, Helena naturally blamed Cordelia.
Cordelia helped Leonard back to his bed.
“Then rest well.”
Helena looked satisfied as she left the room after inspecting Leonard, who had recovered significantly.
As soon as the door closed, Leonard grimaced.
“Have we always been this close?”
“No. Even in the past, your relationship wasn’t very good. But after the former earl’s sudden death, she has no one but Craig to rely on.”
“That figures.”
He looked at the spot Helena had left with contempt. Cordelia awkwardly smiled and changed the topic.
“Anyway, you’re recovering really fast. Didn’t you go to the garden by yourself yesterday?”
“Yeah, but I couldn’t walk for even an hour.”
“The doctor said it’s a miracle that you’re even standing.”
“A miracle, indeed. A dead body animated by a living soul.”
Leonard replied bluntly. The term ‘dead body’ made Cordelia look at his body intently and ask,
“Does that mean… Craig is completely dead?”
“This body? Yes. It was a body whose soul had already departed, which is why I could enter it.”
“Ah, really.”
“Really?”
“That’s a relief.”
Unexpectedly, Cordelia blurted out the word. She smiled with relief and said,
“I was scared that you might return to your original body and come back to your senses.”
“…….”
“I’m relieved that he’s really dead.”
Leonard stared at Cordelia’s profile with a sharp gaze, taken aback by her overly honest reaction.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Ice-cold.”
“Oh come on, what are you saying? The real cold-hearted one is you, Lord.”
Cordelia smiled innocently like a child with bright eyes. Leonard let out a deflated sound and said in disbelief,
“Even though you’re glad your husband’s dead, I think I might still have warmer blood than you.”
“Oh, please. A poor woman who lost her husband begged and pleaded just to learn a bit of magic, yet you ruthlessly turned her away. You can’t compare to someone who’s heartless and tearless.”
“Blood and tears? Ha, do you think magic is some child’s play? That I’ll give in to your tantrums?”
“You said I have talent. Isn’t it a waste? Who knows, I might be a prodigy who can make a mark in the magical world?”
“You act like you’re some great genius. Look, being able to see magic and being able to do it are completely different things.”
“But it’s true that I have an advantage in learning magic over others.”
That’s not wrong. Had she met Leonard at five, he would have taken her as his apprentice without a second thought.
“You’re too old to learn magic. You should start before ten to expect any real achievement.”
“I don’t want to become a great magician. Just a little, enough to be called a magic teacher somewhere, you know?”
“I can’t accept that. If you’re my student, you should be able to achieve at least one star! Not just some…”
“Star? What star?”
“……Forget it. Why am I even arguing with someone who doesn’t know what a star is? Just go. I’m tired.”
Leonard, unexpectedly raising his voice, stopped abruptly when he saw his reflection in the window.
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.
