11 Virtues A Hero's Civilian Friend Must Uphold (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 121
What on earth was he thinking? Why was he acting like this? Na Eun thought she understood the reason, yet she stubbornly refused to admit it, leaving her heart sore. She noticed an awkward chill—so icy it had frozen solid once more—creeping back between her and Hee Won, and deliberately forced a bright smile onto her face. Trying to lighten the mood, she beamed widely and spoke.
“This is the safest place, right? I’ll wait here.”
There must be a reason he couldn’t immediately take her away from this spot. Knowing that prying into every detail would only burden him further, Na Eun acted bravely to keep Hee Won from worrying more. She had already realized it was Jae Kyung who’d told her this hidden spot in the open-air-like building was the safest, but she deliberately chose not to ask.
Instead, Na Eun raised her hand and roughly wiped away the bloodstain on Hee Won’s cheek. Covered head to toe in enemies’ blood, Hee Won suddenly became aware that his appearance looked straight out of a horror film, and his embarrassment was obvious. Seeing him avert his eyes like a guilty man, Na Eun gave a pained smile.
“We don’t call someone who went to war to protect their country a murderer.”
At her words, Hee Won’s wandering gaze returned to Na Eun.
“We call them a hero who defended their homeland.”
“…….”
“You’ve always been my hero—from back then until now.”
Thank you for saving me and protecting me. At her heartfelt gratitude, Hee Won’s gaze, looking down at her, wavered. After a few seconds of silence, he let out a weary, resigned laugh. It was a small laugh filled with quiet resentment toward someone who wouldn’t even help ease his troubled heart. Whether Na Eun understood his feelings or not, she stepped closer to him. As if trying to make up for all the times she hadn’t done so before, she tightly embraced the blood-soaked Hee Won once more.
“Come back without getting hurt.”
“……Is that an order?”
“It’s a request.”
“Then give me an order. I’ll obey anything you say.”
He’d already lost long ago and was crawling at her feet—how could he possibly take offense at an order? If anything, framing it as a command made him feel even more driven to honor her plea.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
