“That’s very specific. Are you thinking of someone in particular?”
I subtly hinted at the existence of Yu-hee-na as I asked, but Seong Ji-chan vehemently denied it.
“If that were true, would I be single now?”
……It seemed like he hadn’t even thought of Yu-hee-na.
Anyway, it looked like Seong Ji-chan’s ideal type was either originally the opposite of Yu-hee-na, or maybe he developed such a preference after being tormented by her.
‘Poor Yu-hee-na…’
I took a moment of silence for her, forever trapped in unrequited love.
But after hearing Seong Ji-chan’s type, it made sense why he would fall for Seol Yu-hwa later.
Even in the original work, he said, ‘You’re the first girl who doesn’t care about me.’
Seong Ji-chan didn’t like girls who were clingy or weepy – just like Seol Yu-hwa.
The reason why Seong Ji-chan wasn’t reacting to Seol Yu-bin now was also clear. Although Seol Yu-bin looked like Seol Yu-hwa, their personalities were entirely different.
Thinking this way, Seong Ji-chan’s claim of ‘not looking at faces’ didn’t seem entirely false.
“Anyway, I’ve shared mine, now it’s your turn. What’s your type?”
Ideally, someone not from this crazy world of insa…
……But I couldn’t say that. I took a moment to think of a suitable answer.
“Um… I try not to focus on looks too.”
“Why not?”
Because the good-looking ones are all characters from the original work!
My standards had all shifted to avoid anything related to this insa world.
My criteria: a good guy is someone unrelated to the original work. A bad guy is related.
As I thought about it, I got more immersed.
“I say that because good-looking guys rely on their looks. And I prefer someone who isn’t noticeable. Someone who hates attention and has no presence. I haven’t seen them here, but anyone with rainbow-colored hair is a definite no.”
The more I listed conditions unrelated to insa, the further I strayed from my original type.
In reality, I do pay a lot of attention to looks.
But since I had no intention of dating in this world, I just blurted out whatever came to mind.
“I like someone ordinary. Average height, average face. It’s good if they’re nice, but too nice seems fictional, so no. I hope they’re not too good at studies either; it’s too noticeable. They can’t have any distinctive features. Definitely ordinary. Oh, right. I also dislike unusual names. I wouldn’t associate with anyone named Kim BlueSky HanRiver.”
After my lengthy speech, Seong Ji-chan looked at me with a bemused expression.
“Your taste is really unique.”
……It’s not wrong, but somehow it hurts my pride to hear it from him.
Seong Ji-chan nodded vaguely and said,
“Anyway, I got it. If I see someone like that around me, I’ll introduce them to you.”
Doubtful… there probably isn’t anyone like that around you…
Thinking of the people around Seong Ji-chan, like Seon Woo-jin and Ban Ha-min, I shook my head.
I absolutely didn’t want to be introduced to any guy by Seong Ji-chan.
But since he was thoughtful enough to consider me, I replied as kindly as I could.
“Thanks, but I’ll just take the thought.”
“Your face doesn’t look thankful at all.”
In the end, we agreed not to interfere with each other’s tastes. It was a peaceful conclusion.
Amid various conversations, we soon arrived at the health room.
“Oh my, what’s happened here? She’s burning up.”
The ‘real’ school nurse, a middle-aged woman, thankfully seemed to have arrived early. She was startled upon seeing Seong Ji-chan carrying Seol Yu-bin and hurried over to us.
“My goodness. You kids have worked hard. I’ll take over from here.”
After only seeing someone like Lee Yeon-ho all the time, seeing a reliable adult brought tears to my eyes. So, there were indeed competent adults in this world…
With tears of gratitude in my heart, I greeted the nurse and then stepped outside.
‘But aren’t I being too obvious hanging around with Seong Ji-chan?’
If I stayed in the hallway, I might be spotted with Seong Ji-chan by other students arriving at school. I pointed towards the health room and said,
“You go ahead. I have something to discuss with her.”
Of course, by ‘her,’ I meant Seol Yu-bin. I was planning to score some points this time.
“Okay, then have a good talk.”
Seong Ji-chan left coolly, giving a chic wave of the hand.
That kid, always trying to look cool… Watching Seong Ji-chan remind me he’s the insa male lead every time I forget, I smiled a smile of enlightenment.
Once Seong Ji-chan had left, the corridor quieted down again.
“……Am I really alone now?”
I looked around.
Fortunately, it seemed like no one had caught me with Seong Ji-chan.
I thought I had just avoided a future of prostrating before the fan clubs of the three top boys.
…That’s what I thought when suddenly,
“You, I caught you red-handed!”
A clear voice rang out from behind, and a strange creature pounced on me.
“What the!”
Startled by the sudden attack, I struggled to free myself.
But this lump clung to me like a leech, showing no intention of letting go.
“Get off!”
After a fierce struggle, I finally managed to detach the lump.
I composed myself, fixing my disheveled hair and catching my breath.
Then, turning to see who had attacked me…
Huh? The size seems a bit small?
“I saw everything! I did!”
The identity of the lump was none other than Yu-hee-na.
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.
