If You Wish For My Death (6 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Brye was flustered. He sensed that things were going wrong.
Moreover, the fiancée standing behind Veronica Hardness was gazing at him with eyes full of admiration, which irritated him even more.
“Magnolia!”
At that moment, a shout shattered the tense atmosphere.
Another man stepped down from the carriage. Upon seeing him, Magnolia emerged from the side.
“Father!”
“Oh, my dear daughter.”
Magnolia ran toward her father, Viscount Linning. Viscount Linning gently embraced his daughter and softly stroked her distressed face.
“My child, what would you have done if you’d really left? Didn’t I tell you I’d worry?”
“I’m sorry…”
“Look at this face of yours. All bruised—you’re breaking your father’s heart. That’s enough now; let’s go home. Your mother is waiting for you.”
Viscount Linning took hold of Magnolia’s hand, but she pulled away and stepped backward.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Father, my feelings haven’t changed since last time. I won’t go back until we break off the engagement.”
“Magnolia.”
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.”

she must be thinking something really romantic is going on between them. If only she knew what her favorite is scheming in that head of hers.
I’m laughing so hard that Magnolia is so innocent and totally oblivious to the conversation, lol.
It just feels like every single man in this empire is abnormal. Not a single good man. Sounds like real life.
