Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
Netepel Luntalis gazed at the vast ocean stretching before him. The deep water, dark blue in hue, carried a briny scent.
This harbor, owned by the Lognak royal family of Brinwell, was the very one he had used when first entering Brinwell. As proof, far off in the distance lay the ship he had sailed on from Egelbamot, now anchored securely.
Standing in this quiet harbor—reserved solely for vessels associated with the royal family—he found himself thinking of his cold-hearted friend. It was inevitable, really, given the endless expanse of that blue, which might as well have been her very symbol.
Ophelia.
Softly uttering her name, Netepel recalled their last meeting.
At the time, she had seemed deeply wounded. He remembered how the area beneath her glaring blue eyes had flushed.
To a casual observer, it might have looked like anger, but when they were children, Ophelia often wore that exact expression right before bursting into tears.
He shouldn’t have said those things. Regret suddenly rose within him.
“I always thought my chance would come someday. I thought you’d come to like me.”
Though those words had been his honest feelings, they must have been deeply embarrassing for Ophelia. That was surely why she’d lashed out at him with such uncharacteristic, hurtful words.
Back then, he’d felt slighted and resentful, but with time, Netepel had come to admit that he’d been petty.
He shouldn’t have spoken with such stubborn pride. It wasn’t exactly charming, after all.
Perhaps that had been his mistake all along—his lack of charm.
Netepel now thought of the man Ophelia seemed so deeply infatuated with lately.
The Grand Duke of Aglante was certainly handsome enough, yet his face possessed a completely different quality from Netepel’s own.
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.”
