I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 142
Reniel was baffled by her own reaction.
Clearly, her favorite dishes were laid out before her eyes—appetizers arranged by variety in case she wanted something specific, and even four different kinds of soup.
Yet the aromas that had once smelled so delicious now felt utterly repulsive.
“Reniel?”
“Ah… I guess I’m just tired of them. Please bring the main course right away.”
She forced down her flustered feelings and said this as calmly as she could.
Only after the nauseating scents were cleared from the dining table could she finally feel a bit relieved.
But still.
Struggling to suppress an inexplicable sense of unease, Reniel watched as the main course was served.
“……!”
However, a golden-brown veal steak arrived, and once again, the urge to vomit surged within her.
“I—I’ll just eat the salmon steak…!”
She cried out just as Ianathas was about to lift the cover from the veal steak. Fortunately, Ianathas nodded quickly and swiftly removed the offending dishes.
Now on Reniel’s table sat only the salmon steak, grilled trout, grilled truffle mushrooms, and clam soup—a meal centered entirely on seafood.
Only then did she sigh in relief, running her hand over her chest.
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.”
