When I asked Rosette to write the alphabet in order, she effortlessly wrote down the letters without any hesitation.
Suspecting she might have memorized the sequence, I randomly called out letters for her to write, and even then, there was no hesitation.
Even if she had memorized everything, there should have been some signs of hesitation, but Rosette showed none.
“How did you….”
Murmuring in surprise, Rosette, who had been busily writing while pouting her lips, looked up and smiled.
“I told you I memorized it.”
“Did you really memorize all of it?”
“Yes!”
Rosette didn’t stop there; she wrote down a few simple words in her notebook. Book, pencil, butterfly, flower, and so on. They were short words, but it was astonishing. Mrs. Noyer, holding Rosette’s notebook, sighed.
“How did you memorize all this by yourself?”
“I just followed what was in the book.”
It wasn’t a lie. In the past, Rosette had learned words by herself, reading books under the duress of Duke Dallas.
However, to Mrs. Noyer, Rosette’s words were simply shocking. She was torn between praising Rosette for her diligent preparation and worrying if it was too much.
‘It’s good to be diligent. But isn’t she overdoing it?’
Yet, she couldn’t help but praise the child, looking up at her with hopeful eyes.
“You did well.”
Mrs. Noyer lightly patted Rosette’s head and added,
“But you mustn’t overdo it.”
“It’s not too much. I find it fun.”
“Well, that’s good to hear.”
Rosette, as usual, glanced around, gauging Mrs. Noyer’s reaction.
‘Is this not right?’
She had received praise, but Mrs. Noyer seemed extremely surprised. It seemed like no big deal.
‘Did I do something wrong?’
Rosette fretted throughout the class, hoping not to get scolded.
After class, Mrs. Noyer immediately rushed to Duke Adrian to report her astounding discovery.
Duke Adrian, who was busy with paperwork, stopped everything to welcome her.
“So, how was Rose’s lesson?”
“It was incredible.”
At Mrs. Noyer’s response, the corners of Duke Adrian’s mouth twitched. However, he quickly composed his expression and asked,
“In what way?”
“Everything about her is remarkable. I think she’s the most gifted student I’ve ever taught, perhaps even more so than Prince Daniel.”
Duke Adrian put down his pen and listened intently.
“More than Daniel?”
In the past, Mrs. Noyer had taught Daniel and had been amazed by his exceptional intellect. She had made similar remarks then.
Mrs. Noyer hesitantly continued, noticing Duke Adrian’s reaction.
“Yes. She learned the entire alphabet in just two days. Not only that, but she also read and wrote simple words without any trouble.”
Duke Adrian nodded, signaling her to continue.
“Her passion for learning is also incredible. At this rate, she’ll quickly grasp knowledge appropriate for her age.”
After speaking her mind, Mrs. Noyer once again gauged the Duke’s mood.
It was well-known throughout the estate that Duke Adrian was incredibly fond of Rosette. However, one couldn’t equate an adopted daughter to one’s biological child.
‘What if he’s offended by my comment about her being better than Prince Daniel?’
Contrary to her worries, Duke Adrian chuckled lightly. There was no hint of displeasure. Instead, he seemed like a father proud of his child’s achievements.
“Glad to hear she’s keeping up. Keep up the good work.”
“But, Your Grace…”
“Is there a problem?”
“Well…”
Mrs. Noyer hesitated before speaking.
“The Lady’s enthusiasm for learning is great, but it seems a bit excessive.”
“Excessive?”
“She had pre-studied words without my instruction.”
Duke Adrian, who had been smiling contentedly, stiffened his expression upon seeing Mrs. Noyer’s serious face.
“Is that a bad thing?”
“No, it’s not bad. If I had to choose, it’s more on the good side. It’s better than acting like Prince Lucas, who skips lessons and runs away.”
“Hmm, that’s true.”
“It’s just that, how should I say it? It seemed like the Lady was anxious.”
“Anxious about what?”
“She seemed to be under pressure, as if she must learn quickly.”
Duke Adrian erased his smile and fell into thought. He remembered when Rosette first came to the mansion and asked:
-What should I do now?
It seemed as though she thought she had to do something.
At that time, Adrian had casually told her not to do anything and just get chubby.
But thinking back, Rosette had diligently eaten every meal, perhaps to fulfill that instruction.
Although she seemed to enjoy the food, sometimes it appeared she ate with a sense of mission to ‘get chubby.’
She also said to Isabelle, who opposed her adoption:
-I can do magic well. If I learn magic, I can take care of your hair, Isabelle, and, um, keep the tea warm too! So please don’t hate me too much.
Looking back, it wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
“Is the child feeling pressured?”
“To be honest, it seems so. I’ve taught several children adopted into noble families, and they all felt the pressure to adapt well. Lady Rosette seems to be particularly affected.”
“Why would she feel pressured? Do you know why?”
“I’m not sure.”
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.
