My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
I needed to clear my head.
Nothing helped organize my thoughts better than reading. Chloe changed course and headed back to her room. She had just borrowed an intriguing book from the library.
But then, she encountered an unexpected figure in the study.
“Did you have a pleasant time out?”
It was the very person who had been tormenting her all day.
“Coon, what are you doing here?”
He was brazenly engrossed in the book Chloe had borrowed.
Upon seeing Chloe, he unfolded the leg he’d been arrogantly crossing, rose from his seat, and approached her.
“My schedule ended earlier than expected.”
The sight of the man leaning crookedly against a pillar was remarkably captivating.
“Oh…”
“I thought I’d drop by for a rare chat with my lovely lover.”
Perhaps because of that, the term of endearment—something she’d normally brush off without a second thought—stood out sharply this time.
My lovely lover, indeed.
Maybe constant acting in the imperial palace had ingrained honeyed words into his speech. He uttered such phrases without the slightest trace of embarrassment.
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.”

It seems to me that Kalis was not as attached to Helena as I had previously thought. He behaved as if utterly devoted to her initially. Did he even really mourn her death? He tossed her and their unborn child aside quite cruelly. I was surprised he behaved that way towards their child and Helena considering all he sacrificed to keep Helena in his life and at the estate. Perhaps he did not consider what he lost as a sacrifice but as things that were stolen from him by Chloe and now, the emperor. Helena too did not comprehend personal accountability nor being responsible for one’s own actions. Those two shared quite a few undesirable traits. The most surprising one being how entitled they behaved considering their stations.
He also will not consider the fact that Chole has no motive to kill Helena, nor will he consider a possible 3rd party as the murderer. (I am reminding myself it is not nice to call names or use insulting words towards people, even if those people are characters that do not exist in 3D.)
