My Husband Fell in Love - Chapter 40
Kyung Joon was sitting side by side with Lee Seung Oh, waiting for the lights to go out.
He had never once wondered what conversations took place or what happened behind the glamorous runway.
Design, to him, only gained meaning the moment it emerged under the spotlight in its perfect form after going through every stage of the process—at least, that had always been the case until now.
Jo Seo Ha had been working late every day for over a month. She usually considered leaving as early as nine or ten p.m., but there were also nights when she went well past midnight, casually mentioning afterward that she still had work left to finish at home.
Then she would smile—though her dark circles reached all the way down to her jaw, she smiled as brightly as Yoon Seo Ha had once done, eyes sparkling while gazing at the night sea.
The empty seats around them gradually began filling up. Amid the deep, thumping rhythm of house jazz, people leaned toward one another’s ears, whispering something.
The house lights dimmed little by little and finally went out altogether.
After a brief pause in the music, the emcee appeared onstage to announce the start of the show. Up to this point, everything felt just like previous years’ events.
“Before we begin, I’d like to give a brief announcement.”
The amplified voice through the microphone captured everyone’s attention.
“This year’s evaluation will be conducted blind. No information whatsoever will be provided about the new items presented today, and there will be no discussion period. Participants must rely solely on their eyes to review and select products. Please use the tablets being distributed now to fill out your checklists and make your selections.”
The previously quiet venue stirred with sudden murmurs.
In past evaluations, they always began by handing out pamphlets containing product descriptions.
Those pamphlets included brief information about each item, including the designer’s name, allowing MDs to flip through them after the show, discuss, and finalize their selections.
But now, everything had abruptly shifted to a blind evaluation with zero prior information.
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.”
