“After that, Salmon understood. That Loowick loves her very much. Even if he’s evil, even if he enjoys killing and being killed, there was no denying that Loowick loved as much as a wolf, an animal that thinks of family the most among all the animals in the world, especially wolves that live in groups. They are intelligent and dedicated creatures. And no one could not know the importance of a wolf with cubs.”
“They did it on purpose.”
“Yeah.”
“What was the item of the gamble?”
“If I lose, Loowick also decided to live alongside humans like Salmon, sharing his power with them. In order to soften Loowick’s evil by observing the lives of these humans, he asked for that as the item of the gamble. Salmon looked at Loowick with pity. How enjoyable it is to watch those born with abundant life live, something Loowick, who doesn’t know the joy, couldn’t understand. So, that’s why this gamble happened.”
“Really… Loowick’s heart must have felt special.”
To anyone, there was nothing advantageous for Loowick. It might even have been a situation where his beliefs were shaken.
To Loowick, who had been evil since his existence, what Salmon said was a statement shaking his foundation.
Doing that meant…
“In the end, Loowick left with a word. ‘Do as you do, Salmon. Look at humans, share your power with them. Live like you do, stop hating me. Salmon. Being hated by you is painful. Sometime far in the future, if I sincerely come to love humans like you do, and come to cherish them… when the delight in evil that has settled in my heart disappears, I’ll come to see you again.’ That was the last appearance of Loowick that Salmon remembers.”
“I see.”
“Not hating. Salmon also loves him, the creator who made him. But that word couldn’t be conveyed to the end. Although human love and god’s love may be different, the feeling of cherishing is probably the same. So, in case the humans he created might harm Salmon, Loowick gave his power to humans far away. That’s said to be the beginning of the Eljat Empire. Perhaps because of that incident, there is a wolf depicted in the Eljat Empire’s emblem.”
“I didn’t know the reason for depicting a wolf…”
“How about your mythology, the history of your country?”
To Silian’s question, Sessenia carefully recalled the contents she had read hundreds of times growing up.
“The history of the empire I know is,
[In the beginning, the god Loowick took the form of a child. He was said to love new things and things he had never experienced more than anyone else. A god who has never manifested on Earth even once. That god didn’t love humans. All he did was bless those who won in wars.The stronger ones received the god’s choice. And the current Eljat Empire was the one chosen by the god. For a long time, the Eljat Empire enjoyed fighting with other countries on the border, and they always won in those wars. Loowick, who was called the god of war and the god of the beginning, blessed the Eljat Empire in those wars, and it continued.
The Eljat Empire was strong. And that strength became a problem. Whether the continuous winning battles became boring or not, the god no longer bestowed further blessings.
The observation was over.] That’s it.”
“Rather than just being chosen, it seems more like saying he was the ultimate winner in the battles among strong humans, so he phrased it that way.”
“…Then why did the god leave us? Why did he create such a situation?”
“Salmon… because he disappeared. He was angry.”
“…Disappeared?”
It was truly a strange thing. For Sessenia, myths and the history of the empire were quite uninteresting.
It felt like a record of forced victories. But now, it was quite exciting.
“Yeah. The god loved humans, and the god didn’t love humans. You know, your god not loving you.”
“Oh.”
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.”
