I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 115
Lucianne chewed her nails until they bled from sheer anxiety.
Days had passed since Penelope’s last visit, during which she had clearly stated she’d found a way to get her out—but no word had come since.
In just a few more days, she would be dragged off to the Achupia Mines…
Mother, what on earth are you doing? Why haven’t you sent any news?
“Mealtime.”
A small door at the base of the bars opened, and in slid a plate holding stale bread and soup.
Lucianne tore into the bread just in case—but there was nothing hidden inside.
“Do you really expect me to eat this garbage?”
Frustrated by Penelope’s silence, Lucianne snapped irritably at the guard who’d brought the food.
But the guard said nothing in reply, only staring at her blankly.
“Hey! Are you mute? I said, bring me warm soup and fresh bread!”
She had once been the most beautiful and elegant noble young lady in the empire, beloved by all imperial citizens.
Yet the guard looked at Lucianne with disbelief—she showed not a shred of remorse, despite having tried to stab her own sister and then attempting to assassinate Duke Luan Canoluph, the empire’s hero, by hypnotizing the late Empress, which had landed her here on charges of treason.
Indeed, one should never judge a person by appearances alone…
Unable to tolerate Lucianne speaking to him as if he were a servant, the guard finally spoke up.
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.”
