Lord Preston's Secret Tutor (47 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 165
Jacqueline let out a languid sigh. The throbbing headache that had plagued her just moments ago had vanished as if washed away.
I suppose it was all just feigned illness.
She gave a sheepish smile and stretched her limbs, tilting her head back. The stars above watched over her in silence.
By now, countless rumors must be swirling about the two who had slipped into the garden, but she didn’t care. She refused to let them disturb this tranquil, peaceful moment.
Suddenly, Windsor spoke. It wasn’t often he was the one to break the silence first. His voice mingled with the chirping of insects in the night.
“Sitting here like this… it reminds me of that book.”
“That book? What book—ah, I see.”
Jacqueline absentmindedly echoed his words, then nodded in realization. A novel that had once sparked disagreement between them came to mind.
“Didn’t the male and female leads in that book also sneak away from a banquet for a secret rendezvous?”
“But isn’t it different with us?”
At her remark, Windsor slowly turned his head. He gazed quietly at Jacqueline’s face, bathed in the dim night.
“They met in secret, hidden from everyone’s eyes—but we… well… we attracted quite a bit of attention, didn’t we? By now, people are surely spinning all sorts of wild theories about what we’re doing in this dark garden.”
“Should we give them what they expect, then?”
“Huh?”
Startled by his unexpected words, Jacqueline turned her head sharply toward him—only to notice the relaxed softness in Windsor’s eyes.
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.”

You need to do more than just transfer the estate; you need to make it self‑sufficient and independent of you.
