Die If I Can't Marry Off My Favorite (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
There was a royal family consumed by greed.
Nearly 300 years had passed since the current dynasty seized power. Ironically, the very dynasty that had once overthrown the utterly incompetent former rulers and risen as heroes was now rotting beyond repair.
Day after day, the throne changed hands due to the nobles’ power games.
Night and day, the lights of lavish banquets never dimmed in the palace, extravagantly adorned with the people’s hard-earned taxes.
Naval battles against an island nation across the sea raged daily. More and more citizens, starving and destitute, were driven onto the streets.
Yet the royal family did nothing.
In this extreme situation, the people began to wonder:
Does this country—do we—truly need a king?
It was around the time when the naval war had escalated so severely that its effects reached even inland. At last, a ray of light shone upon the land, long shrouded in darkness.
A genius undefeated in battle, who had risen through the ranks at a terrifying pace to become an admiral in the shortest time in history.
The hero everyone had been waiting for.
The people showered her with cheers and affection, but the royal family and nobles viewed her with suspicion.
The nobles slandered her, claiming the woman dared to covet the throne without knowing her place. The king declared he would execute her for treason the moment the war ended and she became useless.
Thus, on the very day the admiral returned triumphant, bearing the island nation’s surrender document and a non-aggression pact,
the king’s soldiers, waiting at the harbor to arrest her, pointed their guns directly at her.
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.”
