A Marriage with an Expiry (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
A cafe somewhere in Seoul.
So Ri had someone to meet secretly, without Hyun Woo knowing.
It was none other than Cha Na Jung.
After learning about the appointment Hyun Woo had forgotten, she left the lab and immediately called to set up a meeting.
Though So Ri had initiated contact, it was Cha Na Jung who chose the meeting place.
The cafe she arrived at by taxi was in a secluded area, making both the surroundings and the interior unusually quiet.
Now that she knew the woman’s true identity, So Ri felt a bit afraid—but she walked resolutely into the cafe anyway.
Cha Na Jung, who had arrived earlier, sat by the window sipping her drink.
Seated facing the cafe entrance, Cha Na Jung immediately recognized So Ri and shot her a cold glare.
Her appearance and style were undeniably sophisticated, and on the surface, she seemed perfectly respectable—how had things come to this?
As So Ri walked toward the table, she couldn’t help but feel an unnecessary pang of pity.
“We meet again like this.”
“It’s hardly a situation for warm greetings. Just sit down already.”
Na Jung folded her arms and stared intently at So Ri, who sat across from her. So Ri didn’t avert her gaze either.
After an unexpected staring contest that stretched on for a while, So Ri finally spoke first.
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.”
