A Shadow Cast in Paradise (23 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Liana went outside to fetch a small towel and a water bottle to place in Shade’s room, as Werner had suggested.
Though no one had ever told her directly, Liana roughly knew where the servants lived and where things were kept.
A small building next to the annex the heretic had destroyed.
Long ago, it had been constructed for the servants of House Ideana.
“L-Liana, miss…!”
At the sound of someone calling her name, Liana halted and turned her head.
“Archpriest…? May the gods be with you.”
Liana clasped her hands together, stepped back a pace, and bowed her head.
“Oh, oh no need for that! A, an injured person shouldn’t bother with formalities…!”
Seeing Liana like that, Dietrich waved his hand dismissively and shuffled closer, hesitating awkwardly.
Though he lacked the air of authority one might expect from an archpriest and instead seemed friendly, Liana still felt uneasy.
Whenever she faced him, she instinctively tensed up, fearing he might uncover her dark magic.
‘Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to notice as long as we don’t make contact…’
Until now, Dietrich had been so busy that they rarely crossed paths.
He had to restore the protective barrier, complete the purification of affected areas, and also oversee the reconstruction of the damaged temple.
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.”
