I Became The Ex-Wife Of A Regretful Male Lead (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Every time autumn came around, my grandmother would plant saplings she’d received from neighbors.
Mom silently helped her without a word. I plopped down in the yard and watched the two of them.
〈Why do we plant them in autumn? Wouldn’t spring be better?〉
At my curious question, Grandmother smiled faintly and replied,
〈Everything has its proper time.〉
〈Proper time?〉
〈The best moment to do something. Some trees, you see, begin setting down roots early in spring. Since the ground freezes in winter and you can’t plant trees then, if you plant them in autumn in advance…〉
〈Their roots will start moving as soon as early spring arrives, won’t they?〉
〈Exactly right! My granddaughter is quite the genius!〉
Her soil-streaked hand playfully tapped the tip of my nose.
〈Everything has its proper time. If you don’t do what must be done then, that time will never come back—that’s why I plant trees in autumn.〉
〈And planting trees in autumn is also an old tradition in our clan. When we plant in autumn and the tree healthily survives winter, it sprouts vibrant new life in spring. Watching that, we renew our vow to live healthily and safely through the coming year.〉
Mom continued where Grandmother left off.
〈I don’t really understand what you mean.〉
〈Heh heh. You don’t need to understand just yet. But remember this: people must leave traces behind. You must plant at least one tree in this world.〉
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.”

It happened when Flora attended the imperial ball with Dante.
If only Serphina could focus on Dante herself. I don’t know why Serphina gave Flora so much attention.
〈I don’t love you. How could I possibly marry a monster?〉
What impudence this girl is. How to describe her fiancé as a monster. If she could see well, she would know that she herself is the monster.
“I won’t forget it, even if I leave.”
Serphina, even when she is sick, continues to increase misunderstandings. ☉Ô☉
