Reforming the Villain Family (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
A month before the banquet, news that the Duke had found his biological daughter spread beyond the imperial capital—even across the sea to foreign lands.
“My friend Duke Crustel has found his daughter—what joyful news!”
Grand Duke Constar, residing in the Grand Duchy of Vakandia, immediately began preparations to depart.
Moreover, it was a daughter—not a son.
Grand Duke Constar harbored hope that his long-held dream, once only seen in dreams, might now become reality.
With a heart full of excitement, he promptly crossed over to the Bias Empire.
And even before meeting his own son, the very first words he spoke upon seeing Kyleius were these:
“I propose a political marriage between your daughter and my son!”
Kyleius’s reaction upon hearing those words was utterly priceless.
At first, his expression stiffened as if he couldn’t comprehend the words, then even the contempt in his gaze vanished entirely.
Watching the surroundings grow unnervingly cold, Philen—who stood beside them—contemplated whether it would be wiser to evacuate the oblivious Grand Duke or simply flee alone to survive.
“Hmm, by the way, your house seems rather chilly. Shall I recommend some fine furniture that provides excellent indoor heating?”
“…….”
It goes without saying that he was promptly ejected from the Duke’s residence without hearing another word.
Similarly, his son hadn’t been invited to his friend’s mansion banquet simply because of this incident, though the boy remained completely unaware of the reason.
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.”

Hahaha, are these really friends? They’re both so obsessed with their daughters. So you have the right to suggest marrying off our little Diane, but he doesn’t have the right to marry off your daughter to that scoundrel?
