My Mistress Became My Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Divorce. Lily didn’t find this word unfamiliar at all. It was only natural—ever since marrying Frederick, she’d thought about divorcing him several times a day.
Yet she had never acted on those thoughts, nor had she ever even spoken the word aloud. Divorcing him would cost her more than it would gain her—she wouldn’t even be able to pay her mother’s hospital bills and medicine expenses.
So Lily always suppressed her anger and wounded pride. Believing firmly that even the darkest hole eventually sees sunlight, she forced down her surging resentment.
But instead of sunlight, something even more horrifying occurred. Frederick Benjamin had exhumed her father’s grave. Judging by his inability to give a proper reason, Lily was certain he’d done it in a fit of rage, unable to bear the humiliation of not being chosen.
It was so absurd that he’d even tried to justify it with the excuse of “punishment”—she couldn’t even muster a bitter laugh.
Even then, Lily considered divorcing Frederick again—but once more, she had to stop at mere thought. Her sick mother’s face floated before her eyes, and remembering the physician’s words about her worsening condition, she couldn’t bring herself to decide on divorce.
Frederick probably dared commit such an outrage precisely because he knew Lily would never bring up divorce. That realization made her feel even more miserable.
So Lily tried not to think about it. Since she couldn’t possibly divorce Frederick anyway, she’d tried to forget that option entirely—but now, she could no longer do that.
She felt both crushed and ashamed by this truth, and at the same time, resentful toward Harold for reminding her of it so starkly.
She even wondered if perhaps this man had done it precisely because he wanted her to think that way.
“…Yes. I know. I know very well that divorce would be the best solution…”
Rebelliousness born of tangled emotions overwhelmed her reason, and her words spilled out without passing through thought.
“But I can’t. Because unless that man helps me, I can’t do anything… How can I possibly get a divorce when I won’t even be able to pay my mother’s hospital bills?”
“If that’s the issue…”
“You aren’t about to say you’ll solve it for me, are you?”
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.”
