I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
That single letter had arrived at the imperial palace of Trivian two days prior.
The letter bore the seal of the Valius Empire.
It was an official letter sent by the imperial family of Valius Empire to the Trivian Empire.
Although it was customary for him, as the Emperor’s valet, to review any correspondence addressed to the Empire first, he hesitated briefly.
It was because the golden seal stamped on the letter felt inexplicably ominous.
Nevertheless, he chose to inspect the letter himself first.
His once absolute and unconditional reverence for the Emperor had greatly diminished due to Henri’s recent poor decisions.
When they first met, Henri had been a beautiful young man with a somewhat naive air.
That handsome youth, who still retained much of a boyish charm, wore neat but severely outdated clothing—as if to prove he had spent most of his life in a quiet provincial estate.
Halstein initially thought the young man wouldn’t last long in the succession struggle.
After all, among the Emperor’s consorts were women with backgrounds superior to Lineti’s, and there were rivals who enjoyed full support from their maternal families.
As the competition among bastards intensified and deaths began to occur, the atmosphere in the capital grew increasingly grim.
Moreover, tensions along the border erupted into unresolved disputes with Priannton.
Amid this unstable situation, the Former Emperor merely adopted a detached stance, as though he were a god overlooking mortal affairs.
It was then that his young bastard son Henri completely resolved the border conflict.
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.”
