As If I've Never Loved (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Captain Blaine was on his way back to the office after visiting the Capitol.
Today, he had submitted a report regarding the new legislative discussion on military law.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t an obligation that required his personal attendance, but upon hearing that Major General Layton—the headmaster of the Royal Military Academy and his former mentor—was present, the captain immediately rose without hesitation.
Major General Layton was not only a distinguished veteran but also Ansel’s benefactor.
He maintained cordial exchanges even with Earl Huntington, who had retired from active service, as well as Viscount Monmouth, and had been the very person who enthusiastically recommended Ansel Blaine—the pride of Chatham—to the Brighton Military Office.
Thus, paying his respects was only natural, yet inwardly, Ansel harbored a hope that the general might share some news about his father.
He reasoned that if his father’s anger had subsided somewhat, they might have spoken of him. Sadly, however, there was no such news to be had.
“Did you meet well with Major General Layton?”
As Ansel strode forward, his gaze fixed on the fallen leaves swirling along the ground, he heard the cautious voice of Lieutenant Bruce, who accompanied him.
“It’s been months since you last saw him, if I’m not mistaken.”
“Yes. Has it really been that long already?”
Meeting his mentor after several months, Ansel was instantly caught for his lax state of mind.
Given the general’s seasoned wisdom and dignity, this outcome had been entirely predictable.
Naturally, a long lecture followed, though Ansel was grateful that the current situation—rumors of war looming over allied nations—provided a convenient excuse.
‘…That’s hardly amusing. Using war as a shield.’
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.”
