An Incomplete Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Edgar wore a sociable smile, carefully masking his disillusionment.
“Might you perhaps remember me? We met at the Rose Ball. I’m truly delighted to deepen our acquaintance like this.”
“I’ve been rooting for Miss Blanchet since the very first day of the tournament. Your talent is simply extraordinary, isn’t it?”
Since when had they grown so overly familiar? The noblewomen standing before Olivia flattered her as if they’d willingly give up their livers and gallbladders.
Just as Olivia was about to laugh at their ridiculous behavior, the gentlemen pulled Edgar away.
“A shipment of Agent-san cigars has arrived. Come with us.”
Though he wasn’t particularly eager, it seemed wise to step away for a moment.
After all, it wouldn’t hurt for Olivia to enjoy watching those women fawning over her feet like groveling servants.
“I’ll be back shortly.”
Edgar leaned in slightly, whispering into her ear with an exceptionally tender expression.
Even his low voice was so alluring that the noblewomen trembled with envy.
“Yes.”
Olivia gave a small nod, concealing her reluctance as she gently withdrew her hand from Edgar’s arm. He turned away with a faint smile.
Olivia stared blankly at the man’s retreating back as he crossed the vast hall and vanished from sight, then finally turned her head.
While Olivia chatted amiably with the noblewomen, the first dance began.
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.”
