I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 140
An unexpected rumor began circulating through the imperial palace.
A ghost had appeared.
It was quite a sensational and curiosity-piquing rumor. Those who considered themselves brave formed groups to uncover the truth behind the incident, but more often than not, they were caught by the guards and severely scolded.
The head housemaids and head maidservants personally stepped in to silence everyone. Yet words, once spoken, inevitably spread, quickly slipping through cracks and embedding themselves firmly in people’s minds.
Vivid eyewitness accounts of actually seeing the ghost kept increasing. It didn’t take long for the rumor, growing fleshier by the day, to swell into something substantial.
“A ghost?”
It was just as preparations for the charity event were reaching their final stages. At that boring moment, Ilyd lifted her head and looked ahead upon hearing the intriguing tale. The maid who had relayed the story lowered her head deeply, unsure of what to do with herself.
“At first, I thought the children must have imagined things from exhaustion. But last night, even the guards claim to have seen the ghost.”
Lynette replied with half-belief. She’d already been scolding the maids more frequently than usual lately.
“In the imperial palace, rumors spread far and wide without legs. How could anyone even utter such nonsense about ghosts?”
“But Lady Head Maid…I saw it myself….”
Seeing her stammer through tears, it seemed genuine. Perhaps it was the heat. Who would’ve thought this sudden ghost commotion would reach the Empress’s quarters?
Alice’s eyes lit up upon hearing the word “ghost” from the maid.
“Do you believe in ghosts, Lady Head Maid?”
“I’ve never seen one myself, so I don’t believe. And you, Miss Alice?”
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.”
