I Possessed the Wicked Empress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Pelio was thoroughly displeased.
Because of Ermedilin’s suddenly cold attitude, as if treating him like a stranger.
“Have I done something wrong?”
Even after Pelio, unable to read her any longer, asked this, Ermedilin replied in a businesslike tone.
“How could that be? Your documents are always perfect, Your Highness.”
Her tone was stiff, yet her words were not—leaving him in an awkward position to press further.
After Ermedilin finished reviewing all the documents he’d forced himself to prepare and left for the prayer room, Pelio burst out laughing from sheer emptiness.
“If I’d known it would turn out like this, I shouldn’t have come at all.”
“Then again, even I would find it tiresome if someone pursued me this persistently.”
Yet his feet still refused to step toward the magic circle.
He couldn’t bear leaving her alone in a place where every priest except the archbishop and Arbian glared at Ermedilin as if ready to kill her.
‘Even if she can’t use magic, she still can’t avoid physical attacks. Even a minor bruise could be dangerous out here in the mountains if the priests refuse to heal her. I’d better stay a few more days and keep an eye on things.’
Two days later, Ermedilin, dozing off in the quiet prayer room, opened her eyes at the sound of someone approaching.
At first, she assumed it was either Arbian, who constantly trailed after her begging for stories of this unfamiliar world, or Pelio, who kept his distance while watching over her—but when she fully came to her senses, she found herself alone in the room.
“What’s this?”
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.”
