Please Break Up with Me, I Beg! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
I made so much noise training every day up to my limits. I will be more restrained from now on.
Still, the fact that Litania cares about the sounds coming from the training ground—could this be an excuse to ease the training intensity a little? A spark of hope stirred in the knights’ hearts.
“Noise? Not at all. It’s quite pleasing to see you training so diligently. Please continue.”
A storm swept over the budding hope, and frost settled upon it. The sprout never even had a chance to open before it withered again.
“Oh? Why do you all look so grim?”
Litania tilted her head, puzzled as to why the atmosphere had suddenly grown so gloomy, seeing the knights’ faces pale, almost earth-colored.
Only the servants, who guessed the situation, nodded with understanding in their eyes.
For the first time, an unspoken bond formed between the knights and servants, who had never gotten along.
“Oh, I see—it’s because there’s no alcohol. Pepper, since today is special, how about bringing out some wine?”
“Yes! I anticipated that and prepared it already!”
Orbis had never enjoyed alcohol, so the Dragon’s Keep had never stored any. The servants also did not drink, making wine a rare commodity in the Keep.
Yet, for some reason, twenty years ago, Orbis had suddenly ordered grapevines planted around the lake and commanded the servants to make wine.
The servants harvested the grapes and aged them as instructed, yet Orbis never once asked for wine, leaving them bewildered.
Why make it if no one would drink it? The vineyard was far too large to be used solely for cooking.
That mystery was only solved twenty years later.
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.”

The servants and knights watching them stood speechless, mouths agape in shock.
Poor things, they’ve been forgotten. How will they eat while their master is flirting with his wife beside them? 😭😂
Orbis, still meeting Litania's gaze, tilted his head slightly and gently bit the
I realized I was weak in the face of his temptations. Oh my God, how could I have been reading romance novels? 😭😭
〈Pepper said it was prepared with spice.〉
The two most spice- and pepper-obsessed nations—if I visited them, I’d die by my first lunch!

Umm, things have gotten even more embarrassing. I don’t know what to say. (T∀T)
Their relationship has developed fairly well and smoothly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they truly fell in love, but I’m afraid something bad might happen at the festival.
