At the End of Ruin, There You Are (56 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
Maybe now was the chance? Caella thought, gazing down at her mottled body. The marks were filled with pleasure, desire, and a certain obsession—identical whether from Pheon before her death or Pheon this time.
But unlike that man from back then—who, come morning, acted as if nothing had happened and grew extremely displeased upon learning the Grand Duchess had been in his bedroom—today’s Pheon was an entirely different person.
Since he seemed in a good mood, and things appeared fine, Caella considered asking Marie, her youngest handmaiden, to send a message to Ostein under the pretense of slight illness.
Caella chuckled in disbelief at her own thoughts.
‘This is pillow talk now, isn’t it.’
She never imagined she’d reach a day like this. Perhaps it isn’t about living long—it’s about dying once and seeing. Though even after dying and waking back in the past, one thing remained unchanged: her husband still held her leash.
Caella wrapped her sore body tightly in clothes, briefly reviewed some documents, and summoned Darinka—the busiest of them all lately—to hear her report.
Of course, rather than complain about how difficult things were, Darinka diligently applied ointments to erase the marks the Grand Duke had left on the Grand Duchess’s skin.
“You must rest today. You shouldn’t engage in relations.”
Naturally, hearing such words from Darinka made her cheeks flush.
“His Grace is busy too. Not today.”
Pheon had only ensured Caella ate before leaving; today, he was swamped beyond measure. Such was the aftermath of war.
He had to visit grieving households, tend to the wounded, and oversee repairs to the fortress—its gates half-burned, its walls slick with grease.
He also needed to replenish exhausted military supplies, maintain weapons, and extract even more intelligence from Volga, Vainland, and Delgard—enough to exhaust ten bodies.
Caella knew well from the past four years exactly how he’d handle each task, but she also knew it was safest never to show that knowledge.
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.”
