To put it precisely, it was like a temple stay in Cheonghakdong. It was a place where etiquette education was conducted to make bad babies good and good babies calm.
When I caused trouble in the village, my father and I went to that academy.
There, around me, were goodsmelling adults and children…
‘Cien, you’re so lovely. Cien was born to be loved.’
‘The world is beautiful. Everyone is a friend.’
‘Now, let’s practice emptying bad thoughts.’
I absolutely did not want to go to that place, where the soul soaked in grime would be purified.
I looked at my dad and shouted loudly.
“No! I’m going to be a bad guy!”
Seeing my surprised expression, my dad smiled faintly.
“That’s why you have to go, Cien.”
I let out a heavy sigh and shook my head.
I’m definitely against becoming nice.
I glared at my father with fiery eyes.
A flame was ignited in my heart, which had decided to give up on my father’s conversion for the time being and become stronger myself.
‘If direct brainwashing doesn’t work, I’ll give you indirect villain training.’
Incidentally, it was also necessary for me, who would become the strongest villain, to secretly protect my father.
I sighed inwardly and clenched my fist.
My father didn’t seem to have any intention of becoming a great villain, so it was time to change the plan.
[This is a time divider.]The next morning, Delfia Mirmode returned to the Mirmode family.
Contrary to the worldly assessment of being psychotic, she returned quite quietly in her carriage.
Heading to her own mansion set up within the Duke’s residence, she repelled the panicked maids as if they were annoying and locked herself in her room.
A maid, who had barely overcome her fear, asked cautiously towards Delphia.
“Shall I prepare bathwater?”
“Bathwater my foot. Ask about soldier training and inspections first. Isn’t that the duty of my maid?”
A maid, whose liver was too small for someone from the Mirmode family, asked carefully.
“Uhm… how did the inspection go…?”
“I swept away all the annoying guys and left it to my lieutenant. Ah, there are still brilliant taxidermy specimens left in my mansion?”
“Yes, yes…….”
Delphia grinned as she looked at various taxidermy hanging on the wall of her bedroom.
The taxidermy of the snowwhite snow leopard she cared for the most was a top product with not a single hair damaged. Delphia had a bizarre hobby of killing and preserving things that caught her eye in perfect condition.
“I’ve roughly checked the taxidermy…….”
Anyway, the reason for coming here was because of Matthias. And because of the little girl who seemed like she would be Matthias’s weak point, Cien.
First, it would be indecent to go after Matthias Mirmode, so let’s try to go after the young girl.
“I told you to gather information about Cien Mirmode before I came.”
“Ah, yes, yes!”
Delphia crossed her legs, staring elegantly at the maid who had extended her legs, as she collapsed in the chair.
“Who in the family has contacted Cien Mirmode?”
If you don’t provide proper information about Cien Mirmode, you die by ‘the mad dog of the wilderness’, Delphia Mirmode.
Remembering that fact tightly, the maid poured out the information as if she had been waiting.
“With the children of the family… and Leonhardt Mirmode, and Duchess Lukella.”
Duchess Lukella, huh. Delphia’s brows narrowed.
She’s related to ‘that’ Duchess Lukella.
“Well, the kids are fine. As for Leonhardt Mirmode…….”
Leonhardt Mirmode has a potential that others don’t know.
Delphia knew that well, but in any case, he was just a weaker baby than herself.
That potential doesn’t seem to bloom properly in this family.
More importantly, the big fish was Duchess Lukella.
She was never an easy opponent, being the one who had broken the world herself, as the saying goes.
“What kind of relationship does Duchess Lukella have with that brat?”
“Uh, the brat?”
“That’s right. Cien Mirmode.”
Was it because there wasn’t enough time to gather information? The maid, who didn’t have time to dig into the Duchess’s feelings, had small beads of cold sweat on her forehead.
“Well…. I guess they’re just lukewarm. Duchess Lukella dislikes children, and she has no affection for Matthias either.”
“Really? Is that so.”
Delphia got up straight away.
“Yes, yes. Lady Delphia, what, why are you suddenly getting up…. I’ve prepared the bath….”
The maid broke into a cold sweat at Delphia’s sudden behavior.
“Why are you so obsessed with bathwater?”
She shrugged her shoulders and lashed out at the maid.
“What’s the problem? I’m going to see Duchess Lukella.”
I’m going to visit Duchess Lukella and dig up some information about Cien Mirmode.
“I can’t resist my curiosity.”
Delphia stretched her legs as if stretching and giggled. She didn’t even hear the maid say, ‘You’re full of dust right now…….’.
Well, to be honest, Cien Mirmode, that girl, was just a bait.
‘If it’s Matthias Mirmode’s weakness, I want to catch it first.’
Matthias Mirmode.
The most dangerous being close to the title of Duke right now.
But as the head of the Mirmode family, Delphia also wanted to be the Duke of Mirmode.
There was no particular reason. It was just a fun game.
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.”
