No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
When Ash asked, Swan pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, then replied.
“Oh, umm… Ah! You should avoid bushes with thorns or sharp leaves. You’ll get hurt if you hide in those places.”
Ash flicked his fingers twice. Snap—the cheerful sound made the children’s faces break into smiles.
“Exactly. So you can also remember what we learned last time—the way to examine a plant’s leaves and stems. While avoiding the seeker, find a good hiding spot by recalling which plants have thorns and which have rough leaves. Now that you understand what I’m saying, both of you should jump right up! Let’s go outside and see what else we can learn.”
Jemero, the loyal secretary to Duke Valterminster, Sediloi, had been in a foul mood since morning. Sediloi looked unusually tired, and worse, he seemed dazed—as if his mind were elsewhere entirely.
Sediloi had sat at his desk all morning but hadn’t reviewed administrative documents or reports from the duchy as usual. He had merely opened an old, out-of-fashion novel he rarely touched; by the time Jemero brought him his third cup of tea, only two pages had been turned.
Convinced something must be wrong, Jemero carefully glanced at Sediloi while clearing away the cold tea and pouring a fresh cup.
“Your Grace.”
“Hmm?”
Fear flickered instantly in Jemero’s eyes—an extremely rare sight for someone who never lost his composure or calm, no matter what.
Yet Jemero couldn’t be blamed; Sediloi’s gaze truly did seem… unnervingly vacant, as if bewitched.
“Your Grace, what on earth is the matter? Has something happened in the capital? Or… are you perhaps unwell?”
Sediloi blinked with the same clear, indifferent expression.
“No, why would you say that? Do I seem strange?”
“Well…”
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.”
