How To Choose A Knight (28 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Because he kept pressing his forehead with his hand and trembling for a long time, Jade, who had been waiting blankly, finally grumbled.
“Stop laughing already and just answer what I asked. I’m the one asking why you don’t ask me yourself!”
Axel, whose face still bore traces of amusement, cleared his throat several times before finally steadying his voice.
“Me? My position is different from yours. I’m the one courting you, after all. So I’ll just wait until the one with the power to decide makes her verdict.”
He whispered softly, then continued with a teasing expression.
“You might be playing with me right now, but that’s fine. I’ll accept it. I heard at the last party that some nobles toy with knights who look decent on the outside by giving them pointless hope.”
“What? Absolutely not!”
Jade immediately slapped his hand away and jumped up, but Axel looked up at her and recited the story he’d heard word for word.
“What was it again? They secretly invite knights to parties every time, then shut themselves in their rooms without even letting them properly look at anything else… Eventually, they just play with their bodies and toss them aside like nothing.”
“Bodies? Are you insane? Toss aside? Toss what aside! I—I absolutely have no intention of doing that!”
While protesting that she had no such intention, her eyes inadvertently drifted to his body. Clearly, it was because of that absurd tale about “just playing with bodies and tossing them away,” but also partly due to Axel’s relaxed posture—sitting with one arm stretched behind him, propping up his upper body.
His long neck flowed seamlessly into broad shoulders held perfectly straight, showcasing their impressive width. His extended arm, angled just so, made the contours of his muscles starkly visible—the hollows and the bulges forming a sharp contrast.
And that wasn’t all. Even his simplest garment, blessed by its wearer, teasingly hinted at the ample form beneath.
She remembered seeing it in the forest and could recall it clearly now. She’d turned her head in surprise then, but she’d definitely noticed the densely defined ridges of his body.
So if he said things like that…
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.”
