No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
Meiana knelt down to meet Swan’s eye level and placed the nightgown on the table with a natural, gentle motion.
“There now, young master. Let me help you change.”
“I—I can do it myself.”
Meiana smiled.
“I know. Brigitte told me you can even tie your own boots all by yourself. But this one has so many buttons in the back—it’ll be hard to put on alone. So let me help you.”
Hesitating for a moment, Swan took off his shirt and obediently changed into the nightgown as Meiana instructed. The lining was astonishingly soft, and the seams didn’t chafe at all. It felt cozy the moment he put it on—perhaps lined with thin cotton—and moved as comfortably as a loose summer nightgown.
Swan lightly lowered his head, fiddling with the green ribbon trim on his sleeve. Meiana affectionately ran her fingers through the boy’s hair like combing it, then took his small hand in hers.
“Young master, just like the other servants in this house, Brigitte, Beinti, Ibi, and I especially worry about you.”
Meiana noticed Swan’s body subtly pulling away. It seemed like a reflexive reaction, but it troubled her that it didn’t appear to stem from shyness. Something felt as though it were holding Swan by the ankles—keeping him from blending in here, keeping him from carefree, childlike ease….
‘It’s obvious what that is.’
Meiana thought.
Swan, still hesitating, tightly gripped the fluttering edge of his sleeve with his fingertips. He wanted to just tell Meiana everything.
What Jocelyn had said about Ariante, how she’d urged him to become the heir of this household…. Meiana wouldn’t blame him—he’d only been listening, after all.
“Um, Meiana… Hey…”
“Yes, young master. Please speak.”
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.”
