Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
I wrapped his large hand once with a white handkerchief edged in lace.
Though his calm voice assured me it was fine, he obediently waited until I tied the knot. The way he held his hand still for me made him seem like a well-behaved puppy—almost endearing.
I tied the handkerchief tightly three times to keep it from coming loose, letting the ends stick out like rabbit ears.
“Let me take a quick look.”
I flipped his hand over to examine his palm. Already, the handkerchief was stained with blood. My brows instinctively furrowed.
‘That must hurt.’
I couldn’t even imagine how shocked I’d been inwardly when Edmund had so casually slashed his own palm. Moments like this revealed just how much he’d grown up amidst rough company.
Just as I was regretting having made such a suggestion, my eyes met Edmund’s as he looked at me.
I quickly looked away, and Edmund hid his hand behind his back.
“Thank you.”
“Make sure you get proper treatment. Even a small wound can fester into something serious.”
“I understand.”
Edmund nodded obediently, yet I doubted he’d actually go see a physician.
Frowning, I put on a deliberately stern expression.
“I’ll check on it myself. Since I caused this wound, I bear some responsibility too.”
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.”
