Love Me Just Once (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
“Are you not here?”
And Ophelia blinked once. Netepel met his own reflection in her wide, pale-blue eyes. It felt like being plunged into icy water.
For the first time in a long while, a chill ran down his spine. He didn’t know what Ophelia knew or how much she understood, but he knew he had to respond with more caution than ever. Netepel parted his trembling lips.
“…Ophelia.”
“I’ve thought about it. They said you slipped something into my drink—should I return the favor in kind?”
At those words, Netepel recalled everything he had eaten and drunk since entering Sigrasil Castle. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, yet he couldn’t be certain.
It was then that Ophelia spoke again.
“But that would be too simple.”
And she lifted one corner of her mouth. Ah, are you frightened? Her usually gentle eyes curved roundly, now brimming with mockery.
Realizing she was mocking him, Netepel froze.
“I’ve been wondering what method would be most effective—and this seems like the best option.”
Her voice followed, crisp and clear, as if settling a long-standing debt.
“From now on, wherever you go, I’ll send someone to kill you. With luck, they’ll succeed on the first try.”
But even if not the first time—even after two or three attempts—surely, eventually, they’d succeed, wouldn’t they?
Though her enunciation was perfectly clear, he couldn’t quite grasp her meaning. Netepel sat there, stunned, blinking blankly. Was Ophelia really showing him murderous intent? Ophelia?
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.”
