I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 117
Reniel looked around her surroundings. The place she was in was a bedroom. It was so familiar that she could immediately spot what had changed.
Even though it wasn’t her own bedroom, she was extremely familiar with this place. That made sense, because this was Felix’s bedroom, which she had tidied up every time.
The bedroom of Felix Le Pelique, who trusted no one and believed in no one.
She was the only one who had been allowed in there, and she had always tidied the bedroom for him.
Perhaps that’s why she was flustered by the unfamiliar traces visible all over the bedroom.
‘Cough, cough!’
‘Does it bother you?’
‘I’m sorry. The cigarette smell is unfamiliar to me.’
‘Then I’ll quit.’
The cigarettes he had promised her he would quit were still piled full in the ashtray. The marks of being roughly stubbed out remained miserably on the crystal ashtray. Yet the ashtray itself was extremely clean. It almost made her suspect that he had smoked all that amount in just one day.
On top of that, the strong smell of alcohol filling the room was intense.
‘Master, aren’t you drinking too much?’
‘I’ll quit drinking too.’
She was pretty sure he had clearly said he would quit alcohol as well.
In the room, the remnants of shattered liquor bottles were scattered here and there. The alcohol from the whiskey had evaporated, but the rich, tingling sharpness that tickled the nose seemed to linger everywhere. On top of that, glass shards were spread all over, making it impossible to move carelessly.
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.”

If you already know, why are you asking? …Do you just want to make people angry?
How strange! I pity the poor, innocent heroine because of you villains.
Is the story really over? I’ll miss you all… I’ll miss the heroine.
