49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
An unexpected certainty welled up inside me. My efforts to impress my disciple were finally bearing fruit!
Though my disciple pretended to reject me in front of my eyes, the truth was that he was gradually growing fond of me.
What a little hypocrite! If that’s how it is, why not just say it outright? How much better would that be for both of us? Feeling pleased, I slowly began to feel drowsy again.
Yet just as my consciousness started to blur, it sharpened once more, and anxiety surged within me. Fine, let’s accept that about my disciple—but why don’t I dislike him?

“Only the ninth has received a good match.”
The Empress and her three biological daughters were having a meal together. The Eighth Imperial Princess sneered, glancing sideways at the Ninth.
She was annoyed that the Ninth had dropped her chopsticks five times while reading a letter from Seon An, failing to properly answer the Empress’s questions.
Hearing those words, the Ninth’s previously cheerful mood instantly soured into something fishy and unpleasant. She furrowed her brow.
“Since Mother only supports my elder sisters, I suppose I should at least have a kind and good husband. Must I be inferior to them in every way?”
As the Eighth Princess prepared to retort, the Empress waved her hand to stop her. The Eighth closed her mouth. The Ninth lowered her gaze back to the letter.
Once everyone fell silent, the Empress asked calmly,
“Seo Ryeo, Nam Ryeo, are you studying diligently? Didn’t you say last time you’d started reading the Geum Un Su Seo? How far have you gotten?”
“Mother, could you at least ask whether the youngest is still alive?”
Caught off guard by the Ninth’s interjection, the Fifth and Eighth Princesses couldn’t respond. The Empress frowned and stared at the Ninth.
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.”
