I Pretended To Be Dead And Ran Away (22 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Reniel kept her eyes closed because Ianathas kept glaring at her.
With her eyes shut, she tried to focus on the clattering of hooves and the jostling motion of the moving carriage. Yet, she felt his gaze so intensely that she found it increasingly difficult to open her eyes.
Peeking through slightly parted eyelids, she saw that Ianathas was still glaring at her with burning eyes, as if barely holding back his anger.
She wondered what exactly about her irritated him so much. It seemed there was a specific reason she had fallen so thoroughly out of his favor. Otherwise, could he really hate her this intensely—just for having disguised herself as a woman and infiltrated the mansion?
Because of him, her resolve to escape the mansion as quickly and securely as possible only grew stronger.
She had no idea how long Ianathas would keep his mouth shut. Besides, Felix was far scarier than Ianathas.
The moment Ianathas so much as opened his mouth, she would die—at Felix’s hands.
She knew all too well how unforgiving Felix was.
His current kindness was nothing more than a fleeting amusement. If he ever found out she had deceived him—and for a full ten years—he would never simply let it go.
‘Don’t catch my eye.’
‘Yes, young master.’
Reniel remembered well how irritable and selective Felix had been back when he was just a viscount. At that time, he kept all the servants at arm’s length.
‘The young master once even killed his own nursemaid.’
‘Huh…?’
‘He’d kill insignificant people like us even more easily—so don’t catch his eye.’
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.”

Who is the man with her? I hope someone can tell me, as I haven’t been reading the chapters regularly.
It certainly looked nice, why don’t you add an illustration?
I would appreciate it if someone could clarify for me
