“I’m fine, I’m fine. It’s nothing.”
“…You weren’t hit by the bullet, right? The clothes are torn.”
“Yeah. The clothes are torn, but I’m fine.”
Delina, who gradually rose, showed the torn clothes. Inside the layered clothes, there was a small wound that seemed to have been grazed by the bullet.
“It’s the outfit that Vansent made as a birthday present a while ago.”
Then Noah understood and opened his mouth.
“The fabric that was made to block bullets but failed?”
“Yeah. Come to think of it, I had this outfit specially made by layering multiple layers of that fabric. Even though it may not completely stop bullets, I thought it could help me avoid dying. Of course, the outfit was a bit heavy. So, how about it? Still effective, right?”
Perhaps due to the outfit providing effective protection, there was only a slight graze-like wound left on Delina’s side. Only then did Ashed and Noah’s faces relax.
“I didn’t charge at you thinking I wanted to die. I had some precautions, you know.”
Meanwhile, the culprit was caught by Zen and Calix. Jen and Calix, relieved after confirming Delina’s safety, approached, dragging the subdued opponent with a fierce demeanor.
“Let go! I won’t let go of this!”
The opponent continued to resist. Delina, who saw the face of the culprit, had a surprised expression. It was Mann, right away.
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you all! Who are you to laugh at me…!”
Mann continued to rant, seemingly unaware that he had been caught. Delina wrinkled her nose at the intense smell of alcohol emanating from him.
“I heard someone say it was you.”
“Yeah, Mann Yeongsik…”
“He recently messed with gambling, and it seems his situation is really beyond words.”
While Noah and Delina each made a comment, the knights arrested Mann. Only when the incident was concluded did Zen come to Delina and extend his hand.
“Get up, Delina.”
“Oh, yeah.”
In an attempt to get up, Delina tried to grab Zen’s hand, but her movement stopped there.
“Delina!”
Unable to grab Zen’s hand, Delina’s body fell to the ground powerless. When Zen exclaimed in surprise, everyone’s gaze focused on her.
‘Why, why is this happening?’
Delina was also surprised. Like a huge stone pressing down, her body couldn’t move at all. Even breathing became difficult, and she gradually felt dizzy.
“…It’s poison.”
Delina’s condition was quickly summarized by Vansent’s words. Even in the midst of sweating coldly at the word “poison,” Delina guessed where the poison came from.
‘Smearing poison on bullets…’
Very small, but there was a trace of a bullet grazed on my side. It was clear that the poison had entered through there.
“Physician! Where’s the physician!”
Asha desperately shouted. Kallix’s face, kneeling down, was stiff, and Noah’s face was the same. Then, Delina, even in the midst of all the confusion, smiled as if trying hard.
“Why is everyone acting like this? I’m not going to die. Don’t worry.”
But even as she spoke, Delina’s condition was worsening. While everyone was confused, Mann’s smirk rose as if his lips were about to tear.
“Haha! Look at that! This is the punishment for those who laughed at me! Punishment! If I die like that, then I’ll watch it…”
Mann couldn’t finish his words. At that moment, he faced five people with an overwhelming aura and was glaring at them head-on. Even the knights holding Mann were trembling to the point where their bodies were shaking.
‘…!’
In the midst of the scene, Delina could see the red-emerging letters. The letters were twisting and shining even faster than a few years ago.
‘…!’
Soon, the letters completely changed. Delina’s mouth fell open as she looked at the figures in front of her.
“No, no, no…”
The scorching heat, the screams of people, and the flames that covered everything. In the midst of it all, there were five pairs of eyes.
Those eyes, which had turned the empire into terror and destroyed everything, appeared again before Delina. Looking at the changed eyes of the five, Delina desperately tried to speak, but her body did not respond as intended. In the end, like that, Delina closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
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.”
