Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“……What?”
“While you were away from the mansion, someone claiming to be the Duke’s fiancée came to visit. I heard the engagement was arranged back when the previous Duke was still alive….”
‘The Duke’s fiancée?’
Her mouth stiffened as if frozen.
[I don’t have any fiancée like that.]
‘He definitely told me that himself.’
The man who had whispered those words to her just a few days ago had eyes that seemed utterly devoid of deceit.
‘Could that gaze that day have been a lie? That’s impossible.’
“Lina, are you all right…?”
May asked cautiously, sensing something was off about Lina’s expression.
“May, didn’t you hear something wrong? That can’t be—it’s impossible. The Duke said his engagement was broken off long ago….”
“You’ll be in big trouble if you go around saying things like that!”
Lina, about to insist there must be some misunderstanding, fell silent at the sudden sound of another voice.
“The Duke’s fiancée is currently here at the mansion. Do you really think you can speak so carelessly?”
Loen approached with a dignified stride, her face faintly tinged with arrogance.
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.”
