He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
“We’ll probably arrive at the southern port around 11 a.m. tomorrow.”
Thanks to Maeve’s thoughtful care, Laila felt much lighter and fortunately managed to enter Adrian’s cabin again that evening.
Though this arrangement wouldn’t last long, the moment she knocked and stepped inside, she found her instructor, Rilvan, reporting tomorrow’s schedule to Adrian.
Adrian glanced sideways just once to confirm it was Laila entering, then spoke as soon as the door closed.
“As soon as we land in the south, we’ll receive immediate updates on the front lines. First, verify the whereabouts of the Fourth Prince.”
“I heard before boarding the ship that he was doing fine—has something major happened since then?”
Adrian raised an eyebrow and tapped the map on his desk.
“Rilvan, you say that even after seeing this chaotic front line?”
“…Well, I suppose it’s understandable since I’ve never experienced actual combat.”
“There are only two possibilities: either he ignored all advice from the knights I assigned him and acted recklessly on his own, or he’s got some hidden agenda.”
“Which possibility do you weigh more heavily?”
“Hmm…? Right now, it feels about fifty-fifty.”
Still, the knights stationed around the Fourth Prince ultimately served under Adrian.
Unless they’d collectively betrayed him, even if the prince harbored ulterior motives, he wouldn’t have the freedom to execute any grand scheme.
Yet the Fourth Prince’s mother was the current Empress of Harkin.
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.”
