“Mother. Father.”
“Yes. Have you changed your mind? I suppose you wouldn’t even want to die. Marrying such an old man.”
“I will. Marry.”
“What?”
“What did you say?!”
The expressions on the two faces changed simultaneously.
“I said I will do it. I can do it.”
Unfortunately, things won’t move as you want them to.
I nodded with a broad smile.
Naturally, the Count and Countess, who thought I would obey their words, were agape.
“You, are you really thinking of marrying that old man?”
“Even though you’re being sold?”
“You speak so bluntly. Being sold. Why? Do you hate me being sold?”
“That’s……!”
“Whether I’m being sold, or using a mere 7yearold child to make money, what’s the difference?”
At those words, the Countess chuckled. As if she had just come to her senses. But I know well that they are not the kind of people to come to their senses at this.
People who were born selfish. Those who only see themselves, who think other people’s feelings are unimportant, like sociopaths, my parents.
So there was no chance they would change their minds just because I said a few words.
To them, the priority is themselves, and they don’t want me by their side out of love or anything like that. They only want an obedient dog.
Knowing that, it was nice to act crazy.
“In the end, you were the same kind of person, but now you pretend to be good. Isabella? Do you think you can treat us this way just because you’ve grown a head? Are you trying to teach us?”
“Yes. I’m pretending to be good. Honestly, I don’t think you two will change just because I say this. All I see in your minds is how to use Shasha, how to cut the golden goose’s belly without killing it, how to get more. That’s all I’ve seen.”
I shrugged and acted nonchalantly.
“So, I’ll do as you want, okay? Is there a problem? I said I’ll marry as you want, so why are you trying to persuade me?”
“……”
“You don’t need to worry. You two don’t feel any guilt, so sell me.”
“You think we won’t do it if you say it like that?”
I nodded my head vigorously, making my calmly lying hair shake.
“Yes. Do it. But, Mother, Father. If you use your children and sell them when they are not needed, will you really leave each other alone? Will you be together even when you are no longer needed?”
“You’re bringing up our relationship now……!”
“I’m just concerned. Be careful. Especially, Father. You always get bossed around by Mother… You better wake up. This is the last advice from your daughter.”
For a moment, I saw the Count’s eyes waver. He wanted to believe it wasn’t true, but the actions of the Countess made it a bit unbelievable.
“What advice. Let’s see how long you can be so confident. My affection for you ends here. How dare you try to threaten us.”
The Countess, grinding her teeth, tried to walk away, but then she noticed her husband standing still. She did not notice the Count muttering, standing still.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh……what?”
“Are you shaken by hearing such nonsense?”
“No, no… That, that’s not possible. Just… just….”
What’s not possible? It was clear that doubt about the Countess had sprung up. She noticed it too and glared at the Count.
“Don’t think nonsense and follow me!”
“Uh……uh…….”
As if to take out her frustration with me on the Count, the Countess turned her head sharply and went outside.
The confused Count kept looking around until the Countess’s voice, full of irritation, made him scurry after her like a tailcut lizard.
I watched them and chuckled.
‘They are indeed a perfect match.’
Though they used their children like that and ruthlessly threw them away when not needed, surprisingly, the Count and Countess in the novel never separated.
But they did fight over quite a lot of things.
“It would be nice if the two of them separated now. Considering what’s been done to Shasha, and seeing that there’s no remorse, it would be good if they fought and tore each other apart.”
I don’t really know why the Count lives so subdued. In Isabella’s memory, the Countess was not like that.
She used to be a very affectionate person when she was young. Of course, they were always the priority, even then, but she was not as badtempered as this.
She never ignored the Count like this, but she began to change not long after giving birth to her youngest. The Count was ignored as if he had done something terribly wrong, and he always had to comply with what she said without a fuss.
“It’s none of my business.”
Whether the Count lives ignored or beaten, it’s none of my concern. I folded my thoughts towards them and turned my attention to Shasha.
Tears had welled up in the child’s eyes before I knew it.
“Shasha, why? Why are you about to cry….”
Having been distracted by arguing with the two, I wiped the tears from Shasha’s eyes.
“Is it because of me that you hate your sister? I’m sorry… Shasha… Shasha loves you… But it seems that if Shasha is by your side, everyone becomes unhappy, just like Mom and Dad said…”
I stroked Shasha’s disheartened head forcefully.
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.
