Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Because she had used too much divine power at once, Orentia lay in bed all day. She needed time to replenish her strength.
Yet the moment she briefly regained consciousness, she saw Dimidius. Unsure whether it was a dream or reality, she rose and removed his mask, kissing him. She had been so scared and overwhelmed in his absence and had missed him terribly—her actions were driven solely by those feelings.
This must be a dream. While Dimidius was away in Geranium, she had shouldered too heavy a burden alone, intensifying her longing for him beyond usual. She didn’t believe it was a prophetic dream—just an ordinary dream, one that would crumble and vanish like dust.
When she finally came fully to her senses and opened her eyes, she saw Dimidius—the very same Dimidius from her embarrassing dream. Dimidius was shaking her shoulders urgently and speaking anxiously.
“Lady! Are you alright? Are you finally awake?”
His shaking made her head ache. Orentia frowned and told him,
“Stop shaking me. My head is spinning.”
Only then did Dimidius remove his hands from her shoulders and let out a deep sigh.
“I’m sorry. I got excited seeing you wake up…”
“How long have you been here?”
“About half a day.”
‘Had I really been lying unconscious that long? It must have taken His Grace quite some time to return from Geranium to the Grand Duchy.’
Orentia groaned softly as she struggled to sit up. Using strong divine power clearly took a heavy toll on the body. Pieta had claimed she possessed the strongest divine power in the Bonus Empire—a ridiculous notion. She’d been somewhat hopeful, but reality had fallen far short of her expectations.
Clutching her throbbing forehead, Orentia asked Dimidius,
“How did the trial go?”
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.”
