Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
The grown heir of Duke Alanka was buried underground along with scandal.
The moment his coffin closed, the case itself was sealed shut as well. Whether the Alanka ducal house no longer wished to pursue the matter, or the police headquarters simply failed to uncover any solid clues, everyone turned away from the incident in hushed silence.
Moreover, the Emperor had appeared, resolving the sudden swarm of monsters that densely filled the Eastern Sea—and he had even brought along the Dragon Lord, regarded as the guardian of the Eastern nobles.
Naturally, attention shifted in this direction. People showed far greater interest in the splendid banquet than in a messy murder case that yielded no new developments.
“Well… it’s not bad, I suppose, at this level.”
The Eastern nobles, who would have pounced immediately on any sign of shabbiness or vulgarity, couldn’t stop gaping at the scale of the banquet held at the Aserot Palace—yet they deliberately spoke in curt, gruff tones.
The vibrant yet harmonious garden, unveiled for the first time in hundreds of years, sparkled beautifully, and water rippled playfully in the fountains, splashing with cheerful plops.
If it were overly lavish, they’d call it vulgar; if it displayed only imperial dignity, they’d call it stiff.
Knowing he’d be criticized either way, Hayden ordered everything to be done in the most orthodox manner. The time had come when the Eastern nobles could no longer look down on Shalea, thinking only they were the most refined and wealthy.
“My goodness, that’s the legendary Golden Fountain I’ve only ever heard about!”
“Don’t make a scene, dear. The people of Shalea are watching. But have you seen that ruby set into the throne? It’s bigger than both my fists put together!”
“Hush! The Emperor is about to dine.”
Once enough of the invited guests had entered the banquet hall, the doors quietly closed. Everyone’s gaze instinctively turned toward the far end of the hall—the imperial throne.
“The Sun who rules the great Perseita Empire, His Imperial Majesty, dines!”
The head steward, voice booming with practiced resonance, announced loudly. Red banners and golden tassels swayed.
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.”
