Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
When the ballroom doors opened to the elegant melody.
Maria believed that today, at last, her world had changed. Everything was perfect.
The petals raining down toward me, the sparkling lights, the dazzling engagement dress dusted with diamond powder, and all the jewels meant to make me shine.
And even the gazes that followed me with every step I took.
I wanted to show them clearly: the one worthy of admiration in this noble gathering—attended even by foreign envoys—was not some lowly half-breed, but this precious Maria Etel.
Especially to Olivia Madelaine, who somewhere in the ballroom would be looking up at me with a twisted face.
An intensely euphoric pleasure, almost overwhelming, surged through Maria from her toes to the crown of her head. Her heart felt so full it might burst.
When Leopold came running up from below the stairs as though he’d spotted me, backlit by the light behind him.
Maria couldn’t help but smile brightly.
The most radiant person here was Leopold, ascending the stairs—and the one who would take his hand was me.
But.
“Ol, Livia…”
The name echoing through the hushed ballroom wasn’t mine.
The rosy future that had floated above the clouds plummeted in an instant. Maria Etel blinked quietly as she stared at Leopold.
He was supposed to take my hand and smile gently at me. Yet Leopold stood with his broad back turned to me, gazing fixedly at some spot in the ballroom with a face I’d never seen before.

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.”

Maria what a fool you are. I don’t feel even the slightest hint of pity for her. She deserves to suffer.
