Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
Strawberry-blonde hair, lush under the midsummer sun, sways along the winding garden path.
“Nero! Stop bothering Popo! Nero!”
Yuriella chases after Nero, who’s fleeing by kicking little Popo with chubby feet.
Frost stood leaning on the railing of the second-floor study terrace, his eyes entranced as they followed Yuriella’s movements.
Behind him, Captain Leo continued his report on preparations for the high nobles’ assembly, scheduled in three days—forced upon him after the Grand Duke’s aide had burst in crying an hour earlier, dumped a pile of reports on Leo’s desk, and fled, declaring he simply couldn’t handle it anymore.
“Duke Gauze Yobel requests an audience. He wishes to personally thank you for the South’s support of our North during the recent imperial army suppression campaign and insists on meeting you.”
“The garden is far too dangerous.”
Frost murmured, unable to tear his gaze from Yuriella.
“She’ll scrape her knees if she falls. Goodness—she might even sprain her ankle. Since we can’t tie up Bi, we’ll have to completely redesign the garden.”
“Your Highness, Duke Yobel is a leading noble representing the South.”
“For the first time in my life, I find myself wishing to become a mere cat. If I were that cat, Bi would chase after me.”
“Just because the South has been favorable to us until now doesn’t guarantee they’ll remain so.”
“I’m even envious of Popo.”
Frost smiled, watching Yuriella rescue Popo from Nero’s mischief—but shortly after, his expression clouded over, and he let out a heavy sigh.
“Even a mere earth spirit dares to cling to my Bi. Bi is especially soft toward small, frail things. I, on the other hand, am doomed by poison—too large and too strong. People naturally grow wary of what’s big and powerful.”
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.”
