Seduced the Doomed Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 190
Everything that followed passed quickly.
Count Gordon, who had been scheming in secret for the dukedom, let his guard down the moment the Duke collapsed.
Unaware of who Devir Beatus truly was, and oblivious that he had already stepped into the web Devir had spun, he acted recklessly.
The attempted rebellion was swiftly crushed. Having demonstrated his full capabilities as the rightful heir, he eliminated any possibility of a succession war, banishing all cadet branches from the estate.
While still clinging to his last breaths, the Duke formally acknowledged Devir Beatus as his successor and passed away.
Just as at the Duchess’s tombstone, only the four siblings remained—yet none among them genuinely mourned the Duke’s death.
Contrary to her memories, everything had happened before the mark was etched onto her. The engraving of the mark had scrambled her memories.
Until the imperial command arrived ordering her to receive the seal pledging loyalty to the royal family, she diligently spent time with her brothers and sister, seeking their company constantly.
Afraid that losing her memories might erase the precious moments shared with her siblings, this day became her last chance to act spoiled.
To Diana, Devir—who now bore the appearance of a young man—already seemed fully grown.
Pouting like a child, she asked him to carry her on his back. Without any sign of annoyance, he lifted his still-small-looking sister onto his shoulders.
“Hyung, have you been sleeping poorly lately?”
“Why do you ask?”
“Your eyes look dark underneath.”
“…Just had a bad dream.”
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 hope Noel lives! Also, still feel bad for Ophelia.
So Rodric could show some brotherly love to Felice but not Ophelia? And what about Felice? Where is his brotherly love for his sister? Why can’t he love Ophelia as much as he loves Rodric? This is the only thing about this story that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.
Wow. This story was so convoluted, it was hard to follow. I’m going to have to sit on this and write a more thorough review another time. After I read the side stories.
