Life After Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
The knights stood rigidly at attention, as if royalty itself had made an appearance.
‘Surely they’re not standing like that in this scorching sun just because of me?’
Even the salon employee trailing behind me faltered under the knights’ intense, battle-ready aura. She sent me a trembling glance, as if asking what on earth was going on.
At the very moment I tried to dodge her question with an awkward smile, Rail came sprinting toward us so fast his coat tails whipped through the air. Stopping right before me, he wiped the sweat from his brow, breathing slightly heavily.
“My lord, if you go inside the knights’ building, I’ll send them in one by one.”
“That would be very kind of you.”
I was already feeling terribly awkward about the knights’ behavior.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Rail.”
I patted his shoulder and headed toward the building with the salon employee. As soon as I changed direction, the knights all turned their heads sharply to stare at me in utter bewilderment.
Did they really think I’d go over there and perform some stiff military salute? I’m neither a squad member nor a superior—just an ordinary woman.
Remembering how dazed the knights had been the previous day, I grew deeply concerned about the discipline among Duke Mipidian’s private soldiers.
As I entered the building, I was inwardly startled to see Rail scolding someone and sharply slapping their back. After watching from afar for a while, I had no choice but to hurry inside again to escape the knights’ piercing stares.

“Come in.”
Holding a clipboard with the questionnaire I’d prepared the day before, I called in the knight waiting outside the door. Considering the afternoon training schedule, I’d arranged to meet about ten knights today. One of them walked in, rubbing his back.
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.”
