No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 215
—Nine years later.
Her tall stature compared to peers and finely chiseled, delicate features were so lovely they could capture anyone’s gaze anywhere. Yet instead of marveling at her reflection in the mirror, the girl’s expression looked utterly sullen.
She fussed about, lifting her loose hair as if to pin it to the back of her head, then folding the voluminous lace on her sleeves inward so it wouldn’t show.
Then she plopped down onto the chair beside the mirror and stretched her legs out with a petulant look.
“No way! It’s tacky, I told you! Beinti, Beinti!”
Though much more mature than in her younger days, her clear, ringing voice still echoed through the parlor just as before. Beinti came bustling out of the dressing room, carrying three boxes in her arms, and Brigitte followed close behind, holding one large box in each hand.
“My lady, it’s not tacky at all! It’s elegant!”
Beinti scolded her with a squawk.
The girl gazing into the mirror was Ariante. Having celebrated her sixteenth birthday last winter, she had finally entered her debutante season, standing on the ambiguous boundary between a mature young lady and a little girl. And since she disliked how she looked right now, she was on the verge of storming off.
Ariante stepped back in front of the mirror and said,
“Just look!”
Beinti set down the boxes, placed her hands firmly on her hips, and let out an exaggerated sigh. While Ariante had grown from a seven-year-old child into a sixteen-year-old girl, Beinti had aged as well. Yet the two still quarreled as fiercely as ever.
Beinti said,
“My lady, it really isn’t tacky. You should take a good look yourself! What exactly about this dress do you find so awful?”
The trouble had started with the dress… as it always did.
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.”
