It wasn’t an unpleasant sensation. She just felt breathless and dizzy. Thankfully, she was leaning against the wall, so she could hide the weakness in her legs.
“Do you not like it there?”
Aelfrie, captivated by his whisper once again, stared off into the distance at the enormous mansion.
The mansion stretching out in a straight line was a stone building made of beige stone under a deep navy roof. In front of the mansion, a stone road stretched out along with a garden that could easily accommodate dozens of carriages.
In the garden, flowers of large buds and vivid colors were regularly planted, making Aelfrie realize at first glance that the garden was well-maintained.
Though she had never seen another noble’s country house, Aelfrie was certain.
That Oltbea Mansion would surely be the most beautiful mansion in this country.
Then, Aelfrie belatedly recalled what Kyle had blurted out.
“Is Calon Ash really coming to live in Denertum?”
“Considering you’re asking if it’s really, you must already know.”
“A servant from our house mentioned it. They’re looking for workers at Oltbea Mansion. So everyone easily guessed that the mansion would soon have an owner.”
At Aelfrie’s answer, Calon let out a bitter laugh.
“So, do you like it or not?”
“What does it matter if I like it or not? It’s your house, Calon Ash, and my evaluation has no influence whatsoever. Actually, if it does, that’s even more problematic.”
“Still, I’m curious how the mansion looks in Aelfrie’s eyes.”
Aelfrie sensed that he was oddly insistent on the mansion’s evaluation.
As if he had a deep connection to the mansion.
‘Kyle must be involved somehow too.’
Occasionally, he would go somewhere for a ‘task assigned by the headquarters’.
Clearly, that task seemed to involve managing Oltbea Mansion. Then it made sense why he was concerned about the mansion’s evaluation.
“Are you worried that Calon Ash won’t like the mansion upon arrival?”
“…Let’s say I am.”
Her ambiguous answer went unnoticed.
Her eyes were still unable to fully take in the too-large and beautiful mansion.
“It’s beautiful.”
“That’s it?”
Aelfrie grinned as she spoke.
“Do I need to say more? Oltbea Mansion will inspire all the people of Denertum and leave its mark on history. Some might complain that a foreigner has taken that glorious position, but who could denigrate the mansion’s value? No one with eyes could dare deny that beauty. Any attempt to belittle the mansion’s worth will only depreciate their own sense of aesthetics.”
Aelfrie shrugged her shoulders as she finished speaking.
“Is this enough?”
“If Calon Ash were here, he would have applauded.”
“It’s a shame I couldn’t say this in front of Mr. Ash. If I had spoken directly, I might have been able to negotiate a lower price for this house.”
“A moment ago you were praising the Oltvea mansion, but in the end, you want this house again. Anyone else would say they want that place.”
At his words, Aelfrie shook her head.
“I don’t know. The thought of living in a mansion like that… it’s something I couldn’t even dream of. A more realistic dream is better than such a beautiful and fanciful one.”
Of course, buying this house and living in it is also a fanciful dream. But maybe I can at least dream that much.
Then Kyle spoke.
“Why not dream big? How about dreaming of owning that mansion as well?”
At such an impossible suggestion, Aelfrie burst into laughter.
It was fortunate. She could laugh without getting depressed about the fact that even owning this house was a dream for her.
Aelfrie turned her body, took one more look at the sea, and descended.
From the spot where the two had descended, dark clouds were gathering over the distant sea.
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.
