I've Possessed Persephone (9 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
There was no river branch near Persephone’s field, so the only solution was to dig a well.
No, to be precise, she had only *thought* digging a well was the only solution.
But…
“A fountain would be a different story.”
The healing spring—
a fountain said to have been created as an experiment by Asclepius, the god of medicine.
The very existence of that fountain meant Asclepius was capable of artificially diverting waterways like a true genius.
“And diverting waterways means he must have built separate canals.”
With irrigation canals, adjusting water flow to the field would be easy.
For crops needing more water, she could simply puncture the side of the canal to let water pool into the furrows; for others, she’d just tightly block the canal.
Especially since most crops clamored for extra water while flowering or fruiting—brief, frequent watering from a nearby canal, followed by a breath of divine power, would create the perfect growing conditions.
In short, building canals was far more profitable in every way than digging wells.
“Plus, that fountain I saw back then wasn’t dirty at all.”
That meant the healing spring was well maintained, so it was clear Asclepius visited the place regularly.
Therefore, if she went to the healing spring, she could meet its creator, Asclepius, and learn from him how to build an efficient irrigation system.
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.”

Haha, Persephone is so cute, she’s really childlike. I don’t feel like she’s a grown-up.
