11 Virtues A Hero's Civilian Friend Must Uphold (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
He pressed the emergency button again and, without even considering putting his mask back on, issued an order to his colleague.
“Get off right now and open the door.” At the blunt, perfunctory command, the man across from him let out a dry, disbelieving laugh.
Soon enough, as if this had been the plan all along, the elevator resumed normal operation.
After confirming with his eyes that the elevator was descending to the first floor, he knelt on one knee beside Na Eun, who had collapsed onto the floor, and grasped her arm to support her.
Na Eun clutched her throat, coughing hoarsely, and shook her head frantically.
“Let… let go.”
“…”
“Let go… quickly…”
It wasn’t simply out of aversion—it was a judgment made for survival.
Hearing the dying quality in her voice, Jae Kyung, who had been staring intently at her, finally released his grip.
At that, she seemed visibly relieved, burying her face between her raised knees—as if refusing to acknowledge Jae Kyung standing before her… as if wishing he’d just disappear.
Jae Kyung’s expression hardened as he looked down at Na Eun.
All the ease that had lingered in his eyes moments ago vanished completely, leaving only a trace of agitation.
Before he could even register that he’d revealed it, the elevator doors opened on the first floor.
“Oh! Looks like it’s fixed now… Oh my! Are you okay?”
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.”
