I Have A Terminally Ill Duke As My Husband (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Before the banquet began, Patricia was curious not only about how the nobles attending the banquet she had prepared would react, but even more so about how Mercian would respond once she learned Patricia’s true identity.
No—rather than curiosity, she was afraid Mercian might be angry, thinking Patricia had deceived her about being the Crown Princess.
I should’ve told Mercian back when Luan warned me…
Patricia had thought she’d get another chance to see Mercian while preparing for the banquet.
However, things grew complicated because Bianca, the Head Maid, kept meddling in every detail of the banquet Patricia had planned.
As Antwarte’s loyal right-hand woman, Bianca insisted the banquet must follow the exact same format as before, offending Patricia.
Although just a maid, Bianca had Antwarte backing her, making her the de facto power in the palace; Patricia found it harder than expected to disregard her opinion and ultimately excluded Bianca entirely from banquet preparations.
Patricia had assumed everything would go smoothly once Bianca was out of the picture, but the banquet instead fell into even greater disarray, leaving her wondering whether she should reach out to Bianca again.
Noticing Patricia’s difficulties, Harmon asked Olivia for help, and Olivia—who had organized banquets long ago—was able to hold the event with assistance from other Marchionesses.
Through organizing this banquet, Patricia realized that although she was the Crown Princess, as a foreign princess she held less authority in the palace than Bianca, the Head Maid.
Due to all these complications, Patricia hadn’t even found time to visit Mercian until the day the banquet commenced.
She had intended to see Mercian before the banquet started, but Lara said it would violate palace protocols, so Patricia ended up seeing Mercian only in the banquet hall.
As Patricia entered the hall and looked around for Mercian, their eyes met.
Seeing Mercian’s eyes widen in obvious astonishment upon learning her true status, Patricia apologized silently with her lips.
After watching Patricia’s lip movements, Mercian immediately smiled and mouthed back, “It’s alright.”
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.”
