Selected as the New Stepmother (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
Lanson had a fairly good mind for learning and absorbing knowledge. The deputy director of the museum would take him around, teaching him about the facilities and the management of affiliated artists, and intriguing stories began to surface.
These were news about those who had envied him and led the bullying against him when he was still affiliated with the museum.
Harvey and Mitchen, who had constantly picked fights with him and called him “Bigdog,” never managed to change their habits even after Lanson moved to the Black Swan.
An artist, gifted in talent but barred from public activities due to being a minor, could no longer endure the harassment and left the museum.
Upon learning that Harvey and Mitchen were the ringleaders, the deputy director had been ready to expel the entire group, but they pleaded that they had nowhere else to go and promised it would never happen again—so the matter was quietly dropped.
Fortunately, however, LeoDniero, who had once been part of their clique, had finally come to his senses and was now pouring all his energy into improving his skills. He also seemed to be maintaining a good relationship with Anna.
Although I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, here’s another interesting piece of news: when Lanson appeared as the Duke of Terrabita, Harvey and Mitchen subtly hinted at their intention to join the Terrabita Art Academy.
They had completely forgotten their past misdeeds and had the audacity to do so. Naturally, Lanson had flatly refused.
They say he warned them grimly, “You’re lucky you didn’t sever the hand that feeds you,” so Harvey and Mitchen will never set foot in Terrabita—not even in death.
It was on one such day, while I was busy hearing these various tidbits, that I finished my work and was returning to the mansion when a manservant arrived at the Black Swan carrying a letter.
“This is an invitation from His Grace.”
He delivered the letter and then left immediately. I carefully pulled out the card, sensing a faint floral fragrance emanating from the envelope.
“Come to the third floor of the main mansion tonight at 10 p.m. I will leave the light on.”
The handwriting and distinctive tone of Ascal gave it the atmosphere of a warning note.
“What on earth was he preparing?”
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.”
