Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 065
“I wasn’t fine at all.”
I had merely tried to pretend otherwise. In truth, I desperately wished that just once, I’d come before work—that he’d make proper time for me.
But I had drawn a line, knowing he wouldn’t, because it seemed easier on my heart that way.
“The people of the Ferhaem Dukedom are kinder than I ever imagined. They keep giving me exactly what I’ve longed for, making it hard to want to leave.”
They were making me want things I never used to desire. At first, I was content with Yezar’s gentle care and comfort. Then I began to fall for him, and started wanting more.
My family was the same. Even if others didn’t visit, I didn’t feel too disappointed because I understood Weaslet’s heart—he still sent letters from time to time.
But now, being told there was no need to understand such circumstances—that I could be upset, angry, or even petulant when he neglected me because of work, and that they’d accept it all—made the dam I’d built inside collapse helplessly.
“This isn’t right. You know I’m weak against things like this.”
It should’ve been enough to keep good memories. I wasn’t supposed to want more.
“I’m not fine at all… Rather, it’d be better if we just kept a proper distance.”
Just like the servants at the Orbetian Count’s estate, who knew where to draw the line. Then I could respect that boundary and treat them as kindly as possible as their lady.
The longer I stayed here, the stranger I became. I couldn’t tell whether it was a good kind of strange or a bad one.
I was pressing a damp cloth against my swollen eyes from crying too much, gently pressing down, when suddenly the door creaked open.
Startled, I turned toward the door and saw Weaslet standing there. It had been quite a while, and at the same time, a fleeting thought crossed my mind—where was my sister-in-law? Why had he come alone?
They always stuck together like a pair. But something about Weaslet’s expression looked off.
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.”

I, the ‘precious young lady’ being referred to, could only blink in silence.
The butler was outraged, and Julietta was like, “Oh well, what can we do? What happened, happened.”
“What are you saying? That was entirely the Duke’s unilateral decision. Whatever

I quickly kissed the tip of his chin and fled. I saw his face turn red. Unconsci
Take full advantage, Julietta, kiss him as much as you can, please.
