Saved Him, Now I'm Obsessed (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 165
“Is this also a gift? Again with cranberry blossoms?”
The maid avoided my gaze as she placed a large, neatly wrapped box down in one corner of the Medical Bureau, then whispered “Stay strong!” in a small voice and hurried out as if fleeing.
“What on earth is going on? What do I have to do with cranberries? And why does everyone keep looking at me like I’m some poor, pitiful creature!”
I glared irritably at the pile of gifts accumulating in a corner of the Medical Bureau. Even after reading the accompanying letters, it remained unclear why they were sending me all these things.
At first, I hadn’t reacted this irritably.
A few days earlier, curious about the shared symptoms among the Empress’s maids, I decided to meet the healer personally assigned to Her Imperial Majesty the Empress.
What surprised me was learning that this healer worked under Shuri. Because of this, I had to explain to Shuri why I wanted to meet him.
Though I was still uncomfortable around him, I knew I’d eventually have to adjust. I tried to act more naturally than before.
Shuri readily nodded and promised to send the healer directly to the Medical Bureau himself. I’d made the request that morning, yet remarkably, the healer arrived that very afternoon.
The healer assigned exclusively to the Empress blinked incessantly like someone suffering from anxiety and kept nervously chewing his fingernails with his teeth. He avoided eye contact during our conversation and barely gave proper answers to my questions.
When I asked about the Empress’s health, he suddenly changed his attitude and snapped, demanding what right I had to interfere in his duties.
It’s true that asking another healer about a patient’s condition is impolite, but I hadn’t expected such an overly sensitive reaction or for him to raise his voice like that. Did he think I was trying to steal his position?
I explained that wasn’t my intention at all, yet he stormed off angrily, warning me not to come near the Empress’s quarters again. He’d initially acted like a terrified, timid man, but then lashed out as if transformed into someone else entirely—it left me bewildered.
For a long while, I grumbled under my breath, “Is asking about Her Imperial Majesty’s health really something worth getting that angry about?”
Still fuming over his attitude, I soon calmed myself down.
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.”
