Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 609
“Did you lords come to visit me out of concern for my health, or did you come to pressure me into accepting a consort?”
La Til asked in genuine exasperation—she was truly baffled at this point.
Just how brilliantly had her brother performed as Crown Prince that, despite that incident, people still spoke like this?
“My apologies, Your Majesty. But considering these are not peaceful times, it would be wise to prepare thoroughly for every matter.”
“Moreover, Your Majesty, arranging marriages for family members is the duty of the head of the house. Prince Lean remains unmarried. Even if Your Majesty does not appoint him as temporary heir, you are still obligated to find a suitable match for him.”
‘No. It’s not their fault. It’s mine.’
Listening to the ministers’ words gave La Til a real headache, and she pressed her fingers to her temples.
‘They believe Mother was the main culprit and that Brother was merely dragged into that incident against his will because of her. Since I’ve already forgiven Mother—the true instigator—they naturally assume I’ll eventually forgive him too.’
La Til squeezed every drop of understanding from her body, trying to empathize with the ministers hovering before her eyes. At first glance, she succeeded.
“Yes. I suppose you lords might think that way.”
But the moment La Til relaxed, that carefully gathered patience snapped back like a broken rubber band, and a cold voice slipped out instead.
“Everyone, leave.”
Even after the ministers departed, La Til kept her eyes shut, leaning back against the headboard of her bed. Her head ached from stress, and for a while, she didn’t want to think about anything at all.
How long had she stayed like that?
“Your Majesty, shall I help loosen your shoulder muscles a bit?”
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.”
