A Light Contract (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Lee Hyun kept being distracted by Yura Jin’s face, which lingered in his mind like an afterimage, clearly upset about something.
Was she displeased about assigning her a bodyguard? Or was she irritated by his comment about her leaving time? He couldn’t figure out exactly what had hurt her feelings.
Last night, mentioning compensation had unintentionally deepened his own thirst, leaving him embarrassed.
It wasn’t about his parents being downstairs—it was all about Yura’s mood. After causing such a mess, forcing himself on her would truly make him a brute.
Still, missing her when she wasn’t around and unable to focus on work, he finished his tasks beside her while she slept. Looking down at Yura deeply asleep, he kept getting bothered by her swollen cheek.
It was clearly Jin Kang Soo’s doing, but what kind of bomb had he dropped that made her clamp her mouth shut so tightly—and why did he even have to detonate it in the first place? The unanswered questions still burned inside him.
His nature had never allowed him to let curiosity go unanswered. From early that morning, Lee Hyun went straight to find Yoo Gun.
Given the chaotic situation, Yoo Gun’s face looked as bad as expected. His bloodshot eyes clearly showed he hadn’t slept.
“You’re here? Your face doesn’t look good either. Sit down.”
“I’m busy.”
“Then why are you here if you’re so busy?”
Faced with Yoo Gun’s slightly aggressive tone, Lee Hyun bluntly voiced his first pressing question.
“Who did that to Yura’s face?”
“……”
Surprised and momentarily stunned, Yoo Gun shut his mouth tightly, just like his younger sister had. It was obvious what had happened if someone returned from the main house looking like that—so why was he still trying to hide it? Lee Hyun clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to slap him.
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.”
