He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 190
“Don’t worry. Even so, it won’t result in some random person sitting on Harkin’s imperial throne.”
The Count found it hard to believe that Adrian trusted others to such an extent.
Adrian had always been deeply distrustful of people, but even if that hadn’t been the case, considering his position, it seemed inherently difficult for him to trust anyone at all.
In fact, merely sending Rilvan disguised as himself to Harkin was already an extraordinary act of boldness, and believing that Rilvan wouldn’t betray him even after his death was far beyond ordinary trust.
“You must truly hold Sir Rilvan in exceptionally high regard.”
“Rilvan is the only person I’d entrust my life to. I trust his sincerity more than anyone else.”
“……”
Noticing the Count’s peculiar expression, Adrian gave a faint chuckle.
“What, is it so surprising that I trust people? I may not trust you quite as much as I do him, but I still trust you considerably—that’s precisely why I’m trying to save you, isn’t it?”
“You’re a strange one.”
“Call me human. That’s surely the reason you ‘chose’ me.”
“Indeed.”
The Count shook his head and let out a sigh. There wasn’t much he could say to someone who had already prepared to treat his very existence as a threat.
All he could do was silently pray for things to go well.
For the Count, his only task now was to act in a way that would be even slightly more helpful to Adrian.
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.”
