I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 115
A few days later, a gossip magazine written by an anonymous journalist spread throughout the capital.
[Mysterious Man Visiting the Empress’s Quarters! – The Shocking Double Life of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress]
People were horrified by the baseless rumor and even more stunned by the vivid illustrations accompanying the article.
It depicted the Empress spending the night with the mercenary captain she’d supposedly contracted with the Imperial Household, even showing a drawing of the two together in bed.
Celina held the magazine and smiled with satisfaction.
There, Her Imperial Majesty the Empress lay half-naked in bed, embracing a man. Her eyes wide open, the image looked embarrassingly vivid—so utterly unlike her usual self that it evoked sheer cognitive dissonance.
‘Even a rumor like this alone would be devastating to the Empress’s reputation.’
This time, Count Diobe had truly done an excellent job. He’d insisted, “Leave it to me—I’ve got everything under control,” yet she never imagined he’d orchestrate something like this.
Facts don’t matter in gossip. What matters is that it lodges firmly in people’s minds and rolls off their tongues. Once that happens, the rumor—once as insubstantial as mist—gradually gains strength and transforms into something vivid, as if it truly occurred.
This was merely the beginning. Slowly, she would tighten the noose around the Empress until her abdication was openly discussed.
‘His Imperial Majesty the Emperor must be deeply disappointed in the Empress by now…’
Rushing straight to the Emperor’s palace might only further irritate Claudius. Celina took a deep breath and resolved to go soothe him herself.
How could anyone calmly accept hearing that the person they love is wrapped in another man’s arms? She glanced once more at the gossip magazine.
“Whoever drew this really did a splendid job.”
Claudius held a document in his hand. His expression grew increasingly displeased as he read through its contents.
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.”
