How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Jade blinked her eyes.
“I managed to get by with help from the people living in the forest. Since it was a place where magic didn’t work, I worked hard—fetching water, gathering fruit, and doing my best not to get driven away….”
Since those joyful memories belonged solely to her, Jade confessed the gloom she always felt whenever using firewood.
The tale of the fiery mage, who could once summon a wall of flame with a single cheerful incantation, now squatting timidly and using firewood like a commoner—the early hardships seemed endless.
At last, the King burst into a refreshing laugh.
“Good heavens, you must’ve had it rough.”
“No, not at all. Truthfully, I learned far more than I suffered.”
“Ha! Really? I’m glad it wasn’t a waste of time, then. By the way, who was it that helped you?”
What kind of answer was he expecting? Jade couldn’t fathom the King’s intent. Would he even recognize the name if she gave it?
She scratched her cheek and finally replied,
“A handsome, well-built man.”
There was no better way to describe Axel.
She expected him to laugh it off or tilt his head in confusion, but surprisingly, the King’s eyes lit up. His blue eyes gleamed so brightly that Jade nearly stumbled backward.
Just as he leaned forward from his throne to speak, a servant standing outside rushed in and whispered something into the King’s ear. The whispering continued for quite some time.
Jade stood upright, doing her utmost not to overhear their conversation.
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.”

Goodness at this point she’d ball her eyes in relief of seeing Axel
Axel is already secretly devoted to her. He doesn’t want to label his feelings that might inconvenience her. She on the other hand clearly understood her feelings and drew a line. Yet can’t keep those feelings in check
