Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
Less than half an hour after confirming the head of the family’s death, Elbut found himself locked in the room that he usually used as his office.
He was not the only one confined in the room. Elbut looked around. The nanny who had usually cared for the young lady, the servant who attended to her, and the man who was her tutor and one of the head’s homosexual lovers were by his side.
The young lady who had locked them here closed the door, regretting that the room was too small to fit more people.
“St-stay quietly here. Or, or I’ll burn you all.”
Or, or rip out your tongues. Before he could even notice that the terrifying threat had a familiar ring to it, the door closed. It was about half an hour after being confined that Elbut realized the young lady’s threat was something she had heard from her father.
“Are we really unable to leave this place?”
The young lady’s tutor, who had been thrown into the room bound with ropes just like him, asked. Elbut did not respond to the man who usually fawned over the head with his flirtatious speech. He did not like men who lightly toyed with their bodies. It was a personal aversion.
The nanny beside the tutor also spoke up.
“E-Elbut, you were the one who used this room. Isn’t there a way to get out? Or perhaps a way to untie the ropes.”
“There is a way to untie the ropes. Look for scissors on the desk.”
The nanny twisted her body as if to follow his words and stood up from her spot. She and the sniffling servant beside her untied each other’s ropes. The servant came over to him and cut his ropes as well. The last one to be freed was the tutor.
Once all four were free, conversation resumed.
“Are we really unable to leave this place?”
“I don’t know. The window is too narrow; it seems not even one person could fit through.”
“Is there no hidden secret passage or anything?”
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.”
