He used to be ruthless and logical when dealing with official duties or using a sword. Seeing him in such a pathetic state made me embarrassed. If the clothing store owner and employees thought it was ridiculous, considering the waywardness of Jeff, what should I do? However, it was heartwarming to see everyone, including the daughter-pampering Jeff, joining hands and sharing the joy.
“…I’ll quickly change into the next outfit.”
Feeling neither particularly good nor bad about being outstanding and fashionable, I quickly entered the fitting room after raising one hand to my forehead.
‘Ugh.’
Afterward, I wiped my forehead with one hand and entered the fitting room straight away. With the help of the clothing store owner and staff, I awkwardly took off the strange primitive clothes. The second costume was even more outrageous.
“As expected of my daughter!”
Even though I saw many normal clothes displayed, why did they choose and bring such outfits?
‘I feel like I’ve become a living mannequin.’
I let out a disappointed laugh in my mind.
The outfit, made using honeybees as a model, consisted of a hat with antennae, a dress with a pair of small wings, black stockings, yellow leather shoes covering the ankles entirely, and orange gloves.
The hat was somewhat cute with alternating yellow and black stripes representing honeybees. However, the dress had bare arms, and the sleeves near the armpits were finished with soft white fur like cotton candy.
The gloves and the bottom of the dress were similar.
“All the clothes seem to exist for you!”
The consecutively worn outfits were all amusing, but because the first and second were so intense, it felt a bit tasteless. In simpler terms, it was like a dish that needed a bit more salt for the delicious taste.
‘They are really consistent.’
Meanwhile, Jeff and Aeshian, whether I wore country-girl-like clothes or clothes inspired by chicks, applauded and blushed.
On the other hand, Lillis burst into laughter when she came out in the honeybee costume. When I showed frustration, she made an absurd excuse, saying it was cute because she wore a bee-inspired outfit.
“If I knew it would be like this, I would have come to the fitting room sooner!”
Then Jeff was still moved, shedding tears, and Aeshian even took out his handkerchief and handed it over. I sometimes realized that he had become a bit of a daughter’s fool, but crying seemed a bit too much.
Well, what can I do? A strange kid does strange things.
“It must be tough, but try on one more outfit for the last time!”
“Then it’s the fifth outfit.”
When I mumbled a complaint unknowingly, Jeff earnestly explained the circumstances, emphasizing that this was the last one.
In case I talk nonsense, he said he would tell Mom that Dad ordered him to go out if I didn’t keep the agreement. Jeff’s face turned pale, and he said this was really the last one.
As expected, the strong threat was effective.
‘Oh, I quite like this one?’
So, the last outfit I put on was the one I liked the most.
It wasn’t overly fancy, and ribbons and lace were appropriately incorporated, making it not burdensome. Perhaps, after getting tired of the unusually outstanding clothes I kept trying on, I preferred normal clothes.
Anyway, turquoise symbolizes the freshness of nature, giving vitality, and the pink floral pattern on the background color representing greenery, which I dislike, added a cute touch to my otherwise expressionless appearance, like adding an extra cube of sugar to tea.
Moreover, the slightly asymmetrical dress surface revealed a rosy pink dress hem, and the rose pattern embroidered on it with pearls arranged in a straight line was fascinating.
Overall, it seemed a bit imbalanced, and the upper part, with buttons attached, gave the illusion of wearing a very thin and long coat.
“Owner! Calculate the cost of all the clothes my daughter has tried on right away!”
As the hair was neatly divided on both sides and arranged with ribbons of the same color as the dress background, Jeff enthusiastically shouted, tightly holding a purse filled with coins and jumping.
“Uh, all of them?”
The shop owner, who strategically showed the deliberately most expensive clothes last, was taken aback when Jeff suddenly said he would buy them all.
“And give me all the clothes here by color. I’ll send someone to pick them up by the end of the day.”
Buying them all?
I looked at Jeff with a bewildered expression.
Twinkle, twinkle .
Then, out of nowhere, the shop owner received a purse of money, gathered a few gold coins with an unbelievable expression, and handed them over. His face looked confused for a moment, unable to distinguish whether this was a dream or reality.
‘Will I have to wear those strange clothes again later?’
By the way, did Jeff intentionally buy everything to avoid scolding in case he was caught sneaking out by Hecate? Wasn’t he initially planning to buy just a few outfits?
“Thank you, customer!”
I stared at the gold coins for a few seconds, unable to regain my composure, and then acknowledged the shop owner who expressed gratitude with a face soaked in emotion. No, more than that, didn’t Jeff suddenly do this after initially saying he would buy just a few outfits? ‘Overconsumption, overconsumption!’
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.”
