In This Life, I'll Assist You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“……Emperor. You truly…….”
Zion felt his patience wavering.
“How many more times must I say it? My late father did not assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He merely happened to be the first to discover the late prince’s body!”
“Shut your mouth! Your father is the one who hid and murdered my son! How dare you deceive Delphast!”
“Your—Majesty.”
“It was Lahert who rolled up his sleeves for my sake and helped me find that child. He took me to where my son lay! It was Lahert who allowed me to see my son’s final moments! That fool!”
The Emperor clutched his chest.
“Blinded by jealousy toward the North, he committed a sin deserving death…but Lahert’s foolishness is still better than your wickedness.”
“!”
“Yet must I—bearer of this Empire’s future—abandon Lahert and choose you?”
“You need not choose me. Simply take the righteous path.”
“Then so be it. I shall take the righteous path.”
The Emperor rose from his seat and walked toward his desk.
“Grand Duke Zion Belfast of the North. I can no longer trust you. Fifteen years have passed since my son’s death—fifteen years since my granddaughter vanished from your North! Had you devoted even a fraction of the zeal you poured into war, you could have brought her back to me long ago!”
‘It was a war and battle you yourself commanded. I had to give my all—and so, I sacrificed much.’
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.”

He resembled a big puppy—making me laugh again without meaning to.
I think that with so many times she’s shown she knows more than she normally should, he should be suspicious.
“……I wasn’t angry.”
I love that he kisses her at every opportunity; this man is the epitome of the green flag.
We drank the complimentary tea together.
Just get married and reproduce, please! Please! PLEASE!

I wish he had found out first… But there’s nothing we can do about it…
