Summary of the The Male Lead Knelt Before Me
You know, it got to the point where folks were saying she could make anyone kneel at her feet with just how she carried herself. And maybe there was something unsettlingly effective about that. Like, if you thought using your charm to sway someone might work? Forget trying polite or gentle persuasion around Ji So-eun's person; they just didn't look *you* in the eye.
The weirdest part is when the Crown Prince jumped on this whole vibe thing and offered her a deal: seduce my character. But wait, isn't it pretty much written into these kinds of stories that The Male Lead Knelt Before Me anyway? Seems like fate was already set.
Ji So-eun rolled with the offer though, figured what's another way to skin a cat (or in this case, maybe just... navigate a political intrigue). But then things took a turn at court. My guy, the Duke, decided he wanted her too and said his piece: desire is fine, but if you don't like someone, just walk away.
You could practically hear crickets when she asked back, "Is that so?" And got this deadpan reply, "Yes." Then another question popped up in her head. "Then I dare ask..." *pause* "...I want to hug you."
And honestly? Did that phrase 'I want to hug you' just come out of nowhere and leave you feeling off-kilter?
