I'll Marry Your Brother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Ji Han visited the charity event venue in person, just as he had announced.
In truth, he hadn’t wanted to come all the way to such a shabby place.
But right before the launch of the apartment brand he’d personally spearheaded, a scandal about his broken engagement had erupted.
For the sake of his apartment project’s image—already battered by his personal scandal—he had no choice but to show up.
People at the venue glanced at him furtively and forced awkward smiles whenever their eyes met Ji Han’s.
Though they smiled to his face, he clearly heard them whispering behind his back.
“They broke off the engagement, didn’t they?”
“I heard it was an affair. That’s why things fell apart.”
‘Disgusting.’
Ji Han felt his face might spasm from forcing that strained smile all the way until he stepped outside the building.
Damn reporters had asked him about his broken engagement right at the charity event.
He felt thoroughly disillusioned by journalists who deliberately picked the most uncomfortable questions to ask.
Ji Han turned to Manager Kim, who was following behind him, and asked,
“Can we leave now?”
“Yes. You have a meeting regarding the Intec investment deal scheduled for 3 p.m.”
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.”

I try not to think like that; it makes me so sad to know that it’s all a hallucination of death…

I wonder why he broke off the engagement the first time?
