Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
“With whom are you enjoying such a pleasant chat, my dear?”
The Emperor, having drawn near, soon spotted Helena and let out a soft exclamation.
“Ah, so you’re the Lady who sees the future.”
“I bow before Your Imperial Majesty, the radiant sun of the Empire.”
Helena hastily composed her emotions and rose to offer her respects.
The Empress, who had been about to frown at the uninvited presence, instantly brightened. The Emperor leaned over from behind her and tenderly kissed her cheek.
The Empress greeted him with a gentle caress, then turned to Helena with a soft smile.
“When I was just about your age, I met him again. Seeing you brings back vivid memories of myself at that time.”
The Emperor’s gaze followed the Empress’s toward Helena. He pressed firmly on Helena’s shoulders, guiding her back into her seat.
Helena shifted nervously, but the Emperor nodded reassuringly and replied,
“The day I first met the Empress… I believe it was in a secluded imperial garden, snow falling lightly. I remember my own pitiful sniffles quite clearly.”
“You boldly confessed you’d fallen for me at first sight, appearing before me in such a foolish state.”
“Yes, I was the one who fell first. Though I admit, I wasn’t nearly as refined as Lady Evergale.”
At the Emperor’s playful teasing, the Empress gave him a fondly reproachful glance. The Emperor stepped back with an exaggerated gesture, distancing himself slightly from the two women. His eyes, twinkling with quiet laughter, briefly flickered beyond the Empress toward where the nobles had gathered.
“My apologies for intruding so pointlessly into your conversation, Ladies. I shall go attend to some matters—please continue your talk.”
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.”
