Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
“Isn’t it about time we gave the baby a name?”
Walter agreed with the cautious suggestion Edith had just made.
In the Agnass Empire, there was a superstition that if parents chose their child’s name too early, it would bring ill fortune.
Though there was no real evidence behind it, parents-to-be tended to worry even over minor omens, so it was customary to wait until ten days before the child’s birth to decide on a name.
He hadn’t told Edith, but Walter had been quietly studying how others named their children in preparation for this very moment.
“…….”
But theory was theory—now that the time had come to actually choose a name for the child he and Edith would have together, there were simply too many good options.
Walter ran his fingers gently through Edith’s hair and fell into thought.
Just moments ago, narrowing it down to ten final candidates by the end of the day had seemed impossible—but as he gazed into her shimmering, watery eyes, a name suddenly came to him.
“If it’s a girl, Alisa. If it’s a boy, Adrian.”
“…….”
Edith couldn’t help but be surprised upon hearing the first name slip from his lips.
“Isaac, Isaac! Let’s name our daughter Alisa or our son Adrian—what do you think?”
“They say you’re supposed to name the baby only a few days before they’re born. Otherwise, our babies might get sick.”
What had come out of his mouth was the name he and Isaac had playfully chosen long ago during their childhood walks through the reed fields.
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.”
