I Beg Your Forgiveness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Marien didn’t need an explanation. Nor did she want to uncover the truth.
Just one word would have been enough. With just one word, she would have believed Christoph’s words. She would have looked up at him with the same bright face as now. She never would have thrown the divorce papers.
Yet why hadn’t he done that simple thing? Why had he assumed she’d understand without him saying anything? Why had he believed she’d be fine?
“The one who turned the easiest person in the world into the hardest was none other than me, Marien.”
The boomerang came flying back and struck home. A sharp blade pierced deep into his heart.
Marien stared at him, eyes wide open. She had been about to speak, but instead closed her mouth silently.
Christoph wordlessly bent his knees and began picking up the papers scattered on the floor.
“……”
Only then did Marien move her hands, which had frozen in place. The two of them silently gathered the fallen sheets. The room was quiet, filled only by the soft rustling of paper.
Just as she thought his hand had stopped moving, Christoph leaned forward. At the very moment Marien wore a puzzled expression—
“!”
Christoph kissed her forehead. With utmost reverence. Marien’s eyes widened in shock, and the documents in her hands fluttered down to the floor.
It was gentle. His lips pressed firmly against her forehead. Through that touch, she felt a warm heat—no, perhaps it was intensely hot.
Marien blinked her large eyes, utterly bewildered by what had just happened. Her mind had gone completely blank.
Christoph stepped back courteously and checked his pocket watch once more. With a regretful expression, he handed the papers he held back to Marien.
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.”
