Miss Pendleton (Update to C.222 END) - Chapter 165
“Become indifferent to a woman?”
“Exactly. A woman cannot fathom the heart of a man she thought was hers. She becomes desperate to turn his heart back to her. In that process, she feels the thrill of becoming a slave to love. She grows addicted to the sweet pain of longing caused by the man.”
Ian Dalton felt a sense of déjà vu. He was sure he had heard something like this before, from someone…
Soon, he recalled a person. It was Mrs. Fairfax of Dunville Park. Before their marriage, after Ian’s first proposal was rejected, hadn’t she advised him to act indifferent and treat another woman as a friend?
He had followed that advice, only to spark rumors that led to Laura Pendleton rejecting him a second time, nearly ending their relationship for good.
Ian’s interest in Noel’s story rapidly waned.
“I respect your life, but this won’t help my relationship with Mrs. Dalton. We’re already both slave and sovereign to each other. As much as I worship her, she loves me deeply.”
“Oh, absolutely. My lady’s love is beyond question.”
Noel, seemingly tireless, cut another large slice of tart and placed it on his plate.
“But in my experience, women—nay, people—eventually tire of someone who only gives endless love. A self-proclaimed slave cannot exude the overwhelming charm of a king.”
“…Is that so?”
“Indeed. Every woman, without exception, has been like this. Honestly, if I were a woman, I’d feel the same. What’s interesting about a man who only gazes at me, singing ‘I love you, I love you’? It’s obvious his heart is filled with me just by looking at him.”
At this, Ian felt a slight pang.
‘Come to think of it, before and after marriage, I’ve always chased after Laura. Singing ‘I love you, I love you, please love me back.’ Even after hearing her say she loves me, I didn’t stop. How much do you love me? This much? This much? If I were Laura, I might’ve found it a bit exhausting.’
Of course, Laura loved him deeply. That love was unquestionable.
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.”
