I Became a Supporting Character in a Martial Arts Novel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Fortunately, it wasn’t raining and the sky was clear—a perfectly suitable day to set off on a journey anywhere. Hahyeon and I gave Master one final bow before fully stepping beyond the sect’s main gate.
“Then, Master, we’ll be off.”
“We’ll be off.”
Truthfully, we’d already bid him farewell the previous evening. But perhaps he still couldn’t rest easy; he’d arrived at the gate even earlier than Hahyeon and me today, already deep in conversation with Masters Yubaek and Yuseong.
Thus, this was technically our second farewell.
Master’s expression looked oddly conflicted as I raised my head after bowing. He let out a soft sigh and began repeating nearly the exact same instructions he’d given us the day before.
“Haheun, Hahyeon. As I said yesterday, if anything goes wrong, you must immediately inform your masters. Even if it seems trivial, don’t hesitate. Try not to stray far from Masters Yubaek or Yuseong or Junior Martial Sister Sajeo, always watch your words and actions carefully, and should anyone provoke you…”
“Disciple, that’s enough…”
Master Yubaek, who’d already stepped outside, suddenly turned back through the gate, shaking his head with a wry smile as he grasped Hahyeon’s and my shoulders and gently pulled us forward.
“Senior Martial Brother.”
“You only get long-winded at times like this. You still haven’t gotten used to it, have you?”
A light chuckle came from Master Yubaek behind us.
“In any case, I’ll take good care of these juniors, so stop worrying and go back inside.”
“…Please take care of them.”
Only then did Master’s expression shift into something genuinely sheepish. He reached out to gently stroke my cheek once, gave Hahyeon’s shoulder a light pat, and finally stepped back a pace.
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.”

I am sure of it. It’s the second-lead from the unrighteous sect…
Could it be….? That it’s an imposter and not the true son?
Oh noooooo. 😭😭😭 I knew it…at least she has noticed it albeit late
