A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“Now you’re trying to pull out, even after taking the money?”
“I never wanted the money. From the start, this contract was unilaterally demanded by Father.”
“Five hundred million won is already in your account, and your signature is on the contract. Have you already forgotten what you, as an adult, chose for yourself?”
“Didn’t you isolate me in that cramped car and force me to sign? Leveraging your authority as my father and my feelings for Kang Woo.”
For over an hour, a litany of the father’s abuses—beginning even before the wedding—unfolded one after another.
By the time the audio file ended, Kang Woo’s eyes were damp.
After Se Ah left, his reason and emotions clashed so fiercely he felt he might go mad. Intellectually, he swiftly acknowledged her betrayal: the evidence fit, he had seen the contract with his own eyes, and above all, Se Ah had confessed it herself.
Yet his intuition resisted. Her adorable flushed cheeks when she confessed he was her first love, her pitiful, pleading eyes each time she whispered “I love you,” her petite frame trembling at even the slightest touch from him—
How could all that have been false? It felt far too heartfelt to be mere acting.
As expected, the truth was different: all this time, Se Ah had been threatened by her father and Director Lee……
It hurt as though his insides were twisting.
He loathed himself for failing to protect the woman he loved, for letting her suffer in silence and run away alone.
Had he only given her love and trust in time—instead of uttering that sharp, final warning about deception—he should have gently reassured her: *“You can tell me anything; I’m always on your side.”*
Even on the day he proposed, pressed for time, he had missed the confession Se Ah had tried to make.
Perhaps she had intended to reveal the truth that day…… Yet, naively trusting his own consideration—that it was fine to hear it later—he, the foolish fool, had even been excited, wondering if it might be a love confession.
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.”
