Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
There must have been many adults who patted their shoulders, moved by the sorrowful tale of losing their parents. Yet beneath those comforting words and gestures, they likely felt a chill of revulsion toward the speakers’ hunger for power and distrust of their testimony.
Thus, for all these years, they probably never hoped for anyone’s understanding—because hoping would only invite more hurt.
As time passed, their wounds quietly accumulated like layers of dust, left unattended. Now that they finally faced those wounds head-on, it was only natural for sorrow to well up so deeply.
“I-I sometimes get scared… that Edmund might resent me. Everything I have was achieved by Edmund alone. What if he feels it’s unfair that he alone endured such cruel experiences… and holds it against me?”
“On the contrary, you were the faintest thread of hope that kept him going.”
Creak—suddenly, the terrace door moved.
Just as I was about to gently push Lirien away, worried someone might overhear us, a white-furred cat appeared, stretching its two front legs wide in a languid yawn.
Relieved, I resumed patting Lirien’s back.
“Do you… really think so? I’ve always been an unreliable older sister…”
“Do you know something? Truthfully, I admire you, Lirien.”
“Me?”
Lirien abruptly lifted her tear-streaked face.
Her eyes shone with clear reverence, plainly reading the thought: How could someone like Etricia possibly admire me?
“Look—Lirien, you always effortlessly accomplish the very things I find most difficult.”
Lirien glanced at me skeptically, swallowing hard as if still unable to believe it.
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! Yes, Etricia is innocent. But it was Lirien who caused it. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
