There were earrings with fancy decorations on his ears, and the silk clothes he wore had elaborate patterns with intricate embroidery, not to mention the gold thread decorations.
At the waist, there was not only a pocket but also a fragrance pouch with various decorations, emitting a strong fragrance that could pierce the nose.
The whole attire was full of extravagant decorations, making it dizzying for anyone who looked at it, and there was no sign of restraint.
Such excessive and luxurious clothing was the first time Yeonwoo had seen in her life.
Seeing Yeonwoo’s surprised expression, Dae Bok, who had intended it, proudly said, “How is it? Doesn’t it suit me well, making you amazed?”
“…Isn’t it too much?”
“Oh, I thought about it.”
“What is it?”
While Dae Bok’s story would not usually be of interest, today, for some reason, she became curious about why he dressed so flamboyantly.
“Well, even animals are most splendid when they are male. Don’t you agree?”
“Isn’t it flashy to attract a female?”
“Yeah. To claim a female you like, don’t you need to catch her attention?”
Before Yeonwoo could say, “It seems like you can catch her attention, but it may not be a good one.”
Dae Bok spoke in a very serious and secretive voice, as if leaking the secrets of the universe.
“Don’t you want to seduce a female? Don’t you put effort into dressing up? That’s disqualification as a male.”
“Are you planning to seduce Lady Choa with that appearance?”
“That’s right! Doesn’t it look perfect if I act like this? I, Dae Bok, am a man who never gives up.”
“…….,”
Yeonwoo glanced at Dae Bok with a cold, piercing gaze.
Dae Bok’s current attire was too burdensome. It was fortunate that Choa hadn’t run away after seeing him like this.
Yeonwoo first took the pouch hanging from Dae Bok’s waist.
“Let’s take this off!”
“Oh!”
Dae Bok was taken aback by her sudden confiscation. Next, Yeonwoo grabbed the fragrance pouch.
“Let’s take this off too!”
“Huh! This is the auspicious point of my clothes! What if you take that away?!”
“Haven’t you heard of excess leading to insufficiency? Women don’t like such strong scents.”
“Oh, you’re not even a woman, how would you know?!”
Because I am a woman. Yeonwoo said while suppressing the words.
“Anyway, this won’t do. I’m confiscating them.”
In addition to that, when Dae Bok tried to take off the carefully prepared jewelry, Yeonwoo confiscated them as well.
“Ah, what if a pure young man like me relies on such things!”
“Who is a pure young man? Anyway, thanks to me, you’ve avoided a black mark in your history. You’ll be grateful to me later.”
In the midst of their banter, the two unexpectedly arrived at the house Choa had told them about.
Dae Bok’s eyes widened at the appearance of the old, collapsing thatched house.
“No way, can people live in a place like this?”
When you think about it, this house was not much different from the old house Yeonwoo used to live in, but he seemed so surprised.
Yeonwoo knew that Dae Bok was a nobleman, but she wondered how wealthy he must be to react like this.
When Dae Bok, seemingly unable to believe it, looked around the thatched house, his eyes widened.
“Wait, can people live in a place like this?”
However, the middle-aged woman who was in the yard looked at Dae Bok and met his eyes.
Dae Bok approached the woman with a gentle smile.
“Hello! Is this perhaps Lady Choa’s residence?”
“……!”
But as soon as the middle-aged woman saw Dae Bok, she dropped the scoop she was holding as if she were surprised.
“Um, there……!”
The woman ran away without waiting for Dae Bok to finish speaking.
Although Dae Bok reached out towards the middle-aged woman, she disappeared into the thatched house.
With a perplexed expression, Dae Bok turned to Yeonwoo and asked.
“She just ran away after seeing me, right…?”
“Yes. Even I saw that.”
“What did I do wrong?”
Although Dae Bok asked with a sad expression, Yeonwoo had no answer that she could give him.
“Who is that woman? Why did she run away after seeing Dae Bok?”
Yeonwoo, who had been smiling, glanced at the bewildered Dae Bok and offered her own speculation.
“Didn’t I tell you that your outfit was too extravagant, and that’s why she found it strange?”
“Is it so strange that someone would run away after seeing me? This is the most splendid outfit I have.”
When Dae Bok’s confidence was thoroughly crushed by Yeonwoo’s reproach, Choa’s voice was heard from behind.
“You came early…!”
Choa briefly stopped at the sight of Dae Bok’s flashy attire.
However, she quickly regained her composure and spoke.
“You came early. It’s been a while, Dae Bok.”
“Oh, it’s been a while, Lady Choa.”
Once again, Dae Bok greeted stiffly like a wooden log.
Yeonwoo wondered how he planned to win Lady Choa’s heart with that attitude. Sighing, she spoke up.
“Oh, Lady Choa. Before you arrived, I saw someone at home…”
“Oh…!”
Judging by Choa’s expression, Yeonwoo knew who she was talking about.
Seeing Choa’s troubled face, Yeonwoo felt sorry for her.
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.”
