I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 165
Seven o’clock in the evening. It was the perfect hour for those who had finished their hard day’s labor to enjoy a light meal, have a drink or two, and head home. The tolling of the bell from the bell tower echoed through the lingering twilight.
Clover Tavern was bustling with customers once again today. Even outside festival seasons, locals often visited the tavern as a way to mark the end of their day.
Ilyd and Cecilia slipped in among the crowd. To gather useful information, slightly tipsy and cheerful patrons were ideal.
‘There’s always plenty of gossip floating around.’
“Welcome in!”
Perhaps because they’d seen each other before, even the innkeeper’s cheerful shout now sounded familiar. After all, they’d gone through that commotion together. Ilyd adjusted her still-awkward wig and walked toward the bar.
‘It wouldn’t be polite to ask outright right away.’
Etiquette demanded buying at least one round—it gave her a proper excuse to ask questions. Ilyd ordered two mugs of beer, just as she had last time. Before they could even lean against the bar, two overflowing mugs were set down before them.
“…The generosity here hasn’t changed a bit.”
White foam spilled over the rim of the mugs from the forceful pour. Being served a brimming glass was always welcome. Ilyd raised her mug to propose a toast to Cecilia, who looked anything but enthusiastic.
“Do as you please. I don’t want to make a spectacle of myself by getting drunk either.”
Ilyd took a cheerful sip of her beer. It tasted just as it had before the Founder’s Festival, back when she’d lured Rivel in.
“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty the Empress.”
“Shh. Please use a different title here. Besides, now that we’re out like this, calling me ‘young lady’ wouldn’t fit either—it’s rather awkward…”
“I’ll quietly follow your lead.”
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.”
