Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 140
“Huh? Are you coming alone?”
The door opened with a jingle, and the white-haired guest entered by himself. Seeing this, the innkeeper asked in surprise.
“I sent one of my staff to hold an umbrella for you. Didn’t you see them?”
Noticing the guest’s clothes and hair were completely soaked, the innkeeper asked in embarrassment.
This guest was a big spender and had booked a month-long stay, so the innkeeper naturally wanted to keep things friendly and pleasant.
Yet here he was, drenched from head to toe, having come alone in this downpour. Of course, the sudden storm wasn’t the inn’s fault—but since it was the innkeeper who’d recommended visiting the lake, he couldn’t help feeling uneasy.
“Hey, where did that kid go? I told him to hurry back quickly!”
Glancing at the clock, the innkeeper grumbled first, hoping to defuse any anger before the guest could get upset—usually, once he vented like this, even disgruntled guests would just leave without making a fuss.
But soon, he remembered that the staff member was exceptionally diligent—and began worrying that perhaps the boy had slipped in the rain and gotten seriously hurt.
Though the young man was a local who could walk between the lake and the inn blindfolded, accidents could still happen, couldn’t they?
“Um, sir… On your way here, did you happen to see our employee? He should’ve been carrying two umbrellas and is a sturdy-looking young man. He was the one who took your horse to the stable when you arrived…”
At this, the white-haired guest—who had been silently watching the innkeeper—suddenly smiled with the corners of his eyes curving upward, then pointed to his own lips.
Why his lips? Confused, the innkeeper instinctively stared at those red lips—until the guest spoke in a bright voice.
“I drank it.”
“Excuse me?”
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.”
