Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
The Katat Imperial Palace had undergone constant expansions, perhaps in conscious imitation of the Shalea Imperial Palace.
Thus, it was absurdly vast, and its layout had become somewhat convoluted—perfect for getting lost unless one knew the palace well. In other words, anyone who’d spent time in the palace knew precisely the blind spots and hidden passages created by these expansions.
“Where are we going?”
Hayden asked casually, but Lu merely gestured for silence while hiding against the wall and watching the corridor entrance ahead.
“You drag me along and then refuse to say a word—that’s your plan?”
“Please be quiet. His Majesty only needs to watch over me, but I’m risking my life right now. Come on, let’s go.”
At regular intervals, the royal guards rotated their posts, shifting positions rather than staying in one spot to better survey their surroundings, maintain alertness, and defend a wider area.
However, since the last intrusion into this palace had occurred hundreds of years ago—back in the early days of the Calleta Empire—the guards’ vigilance had grown somewhat lax.
“Oh, so this is where we shouldn’t be going?”
“It’s the area where Lord Calleta would wonder, ‘Why is that woman here?’ if he showed up.”
The floor was entirely covered in red carpet, and the golden-finished walls were lavishly adorned with portraits of Carlos and historical paintings. Now that she noticed, it was rather eerie how one person consistently appeared in every single piece.
Regardless, the lofty Calleta Imperial Palace brimmed with grandeur. It had as many rooms as it had dignity, and quite a few places could be reached through circuitous routes. Of course, the location Lu was targeting now couldn’t be approached that way—but she could get as close as possible.
Lu swiftly passed through the corridor with Hayden trailing behind, then immediately searched for the next place to hide.
“What time do you get off work?”
“I’m off at six today.”
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.”
