I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 167
“More than anything, it’s surprising that you thought I saw you as a courtesan.”
“Why is that surprising? I was locked in the room all day, waiting only for you. And when you finally came, we’d do… that, and then do it again… There was nothing else I did there.”
Seeing Reniel’s embarrassed expression, Felix gave a soft chuckle. They’d seen each other’s bodies countless times, yet she was still shy—it was adorable.
Of course, he understood her feelings to some extent. After all, he himself always felt newly delighted every time he saw her body.
Although, truthfully, he loved her sweet disposition even more than her beautiful form.
“While you were there, my anger gradually faded.”
“…”
“And I realized—I was just anxious because you weren’t with me.”
“…”
“Perhaps I was as angry as I needed you.”
“Are you saying that now to make me angry?”
He could feel Reniel trembling with fury. To Felix, her anger was as endearing as watching a provoked herbivore—like a rabbit flaring its ears slightly, as if that were the full extent of its rage.
Yet the thought that she might truly leave him in her anger made his heart sink heavily.
“There’s nothing for me to gain by making you angry. Because losing you is what I fear most.”

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.”
