I Became The Sword Of The Sword-Obsessed Male Lead (18 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 142
“Heidi!”
“How did it go?”
Judging by Ken’s beaming face, it was clear things had gone well.
“Everyone who was in the garden has left. They all found out the Duchess lied!”
Thrilled by the joy of having successfully completed his assigned task, Ken was practically bouncing with excitement. I gave his admirable shoulders a couple of reassuring pats, then walked over to Joanna, who stood quietly behind him.
Even though everything was over, she was still trembling with anxiety.
Though she hadn’t spent even a few days in prison, the mental anguish had clearly taken its toll—her once plump cheeks were now deeply sunken.
“Thank you, Heidi.”
Her voice trembled faintly, barely more than a whisper. I slowly met her eyes. Tears welled up in her gray irises, now dulled of their light.
“It’s alright.”
All I could offer her was those words—that it would be alright. Whether or not she truly felt that way, she deserved better days ahead than the ones she’d endured so far.
“What are you planning to do now?”
Joanna hesitated for a moment, then spoke resolutely.
“I’m going back to my hometown to be with my family, and from there, we’ll move somewhere else. I’ll live humbly, repenting for what I’ve done.”
After glancing between Ken and me, Joanna bowed deeply and shuffled slowly toward the mansion gate, disappearing from view. She was clearly in a hurry to leave before Leriana could find 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.”
