Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 290
Before confessing to Ariadne, Raphael had reached a very simple and logical conclusion.
The reason he had never confessed to Ariadne until now was out of loyalty to Alfonso. That friendship was now broken. Nothing stood in his way anymore.
He thought it would be a good thing for Ariadne as well. One of her romantic hopes had just shattered. If a new option appeared, wouldn’t her mood improve?
“…….”
Yet, through this incident, Raphael was once again reminded that not everything in life follows logic.
Ariadne was staring at the floor, her green eyes brimming with tears.
He wanted to ask if she was alright, but his lips refused to move. Raphael wished he could sew shut his own mouth from three minutes ago.
Ariadne began trembling at the shoulders. She was definitely crying. She rarely cried. Raphael’s palms started to sweat.
“Ari, Ari.”
Raphael awkwardly reached out and wrapped his arms around Ariadne’s shaking shoulders. Fortunately, she didn’t push him away or get angry.
In Raphael’s embrace, Ariadne continued to sob for a long while. Raphael spent what felt like ten agonizing minutes holding a woman crying because of him, his conscience tearing itself apart. When her trembling finally ceased, she whispered softly,
“Thank you for lending me your shoulder.”
It was her way of saying it was time to let go. Raphael obeyed and lowered the arm that had been holding her. Her scent—sweet musk mingled with damp earth—faded away. Raphael inhaled regretfully.
Regret was regret, but he still had to fix things. Carefully, he spoke.
“Um… Ari.”
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.”
