Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 215
Ariadne came down to the drawing room with a pale face. Despite the room being warmed by a crackling fireplace, she had wrapped a woolen shawl around her shoulders and worn thick leather gloves on both hands.
Cesare immediately rose from his seat and quietly greeted Ariadne as she entered the drawing room.
“My lady! What’s wrong with your face? Are you unwell?”
He strode forward, took Ariadne’s hand, and gently guided her to the sofa in the drawing room. His ease was so natural that it was hard to tell who was the host and who was the guest.
She flinched slightly at Cesare’s outstretched hand but soon offered her gloved left hand and followed his lead.
Sitting on the sofa, she spoke weakly.
“It’s nothing serious. I’m just a bit tired.”
He replied without hesitation.
“That’s more than ‘just a bit.’ I’ve never seen you so drained before.”
Concern sparkled in his strikingly handsome eyes. Though she could sketch his face with her eyes closed and recall his voice without hearing it, she had no memory of him ever wearing such an absorbed, earnest expression.
Trying to break the oddly awkward atmosphere, Ariadne searched her memories to recall whether Cesare had always been this kind of man and tossed out a silly joke.
“I hope it’s not the Black Death.”
“Oh dear.”
Cesare smiled, revealing a neat row of teeth.
“Then I’d catch it too, wouldn’t I?”
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.”
