Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 67
Paniya would willingly find information for me, but I couldn’t simply order her around as if she were a subordinate. It was far better for the situation to appear as though Paniya herself genuinely wanted to provide the information.
So, I put on an act of being overwhelmed with anxiety ahead of my debutante event.
“It’s just that this will be different from the parties I’ve attended so far, where only peers were present. I’m worried about how I’ll appear in the eyes of adults.”
Of course, this was a lie. I’ve always gotten along better with those older than me than with my peers or juniors. In fact, it was practically fate that I could even mingle well with the academic circle’s children.
But Paniya, who didn’t know this side of me, naively believed my words.
“Oh, I understand that feeling. My older sister and parents always say I’m doing well whenever I greet esteemed guests visiting our house—but those guests are all kindly disposed toward our family, aren’t they? I can’t be entirely sure that others would view me favorably too.”
Exactly. Without missing a beat, I put on a sorrowful expression.
“Yes, exactly. Just recently, when I went out with His Grace the Grand Duke, I happened to meet someone named Marquis Chase.”
“Marquis Chase?”
Paniya’s eyes widened.
Ah, that was clearly a look of recognition.
“Do you know him, Paniya?”
“Hmm… only by name.”
This was a good sign. From the start, I hadn’t expected to receive an immediate answer from Paniya about Marquis Chase right here and now.
I’d only hoped she might say something like, “Since I’m worried about you, I’ll look into it myself.” But it seemed I’d get the information far more easily than anticipated, which was fortunate.
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.”
