49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Lin Hwa has already lost her mind. In her head, I’m already the enemy who ruined her love.
She firmly believes it’s only fair that since I ruined her love, I should have my love ruined too. Since she’s convinced her logic is flawless, there’s no room for me to persuade her.
In the end, I stopped arguing with Lin Hwa and went to see my parents just before dinner, timing it with their meal.
After all, my parents are our guardians, the only ones who can break Lin Hwa’s stubbornness—and the ultimate decision-makers of our household.
“Have you eaten?”
Perhaps because I’d publicly declared my admiration for the 13th Prince, the moment I stepped into the room, Mother grabbed my hand and asked worriedly.
“A little.”
I’d finished an entire bowl, but I lied slightly.
“I had no appetite, so I couldn’t eat much.”
“Is it because of His Highness the Prince?”
“Yes.”
I spoke as weakly as possible, then deliberately tensed my whole face to look pitiful and glanced between my parents.
Father avoided my gaze, and Mother’s eyes welled with tears. I softened my voice even more and continued.
“Mother, Father, please reject this marriage proposal. If I claim to already have a fiancé, His Majesty won’t be able to push further, right? His Majesty knows I’m a woman disguised as a man. That’s why I couldn’t even use a fiancé as an excuse. But Lin Hwa’s situation is different, isn’t it?”
Yet somehow, their reactions were far from encouraging. Father kept avoiding my eyes, and Mother merely took out her handkerchief to dab her eyes without saying she’d do it.
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.”
