Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 340
Countess Balzo and Countess Bartolini’s eyes widened at Prince Alfonso’s declaration. Duke Cesare, on the other hand, took a moment to process what had been said and was a beat late in showing his astonishment.
“What?”
Facing Cesare’s hoarse exclamation, Alfonso gave a pale smile.
“As you said, Duke—I’m asking that you prevent my woman from ever meeting another man.”
Alfonso tightened his arm around Ariadne, pulling her closer. Ariadne gasped, her breath catching against the thick forearm pressing into her ribs. The whole situation felt surreal.
Still holding Ariadne tightly, Alfonso jerked his chin toward the side, gesturing past Cesare.
“I’d appreciate it if you’d clear the way first.”
Cesare felt short of breath. He inhaled deeply.
“Y-Your Highness.”
It was filthy, disgraceful. Having to address the man embracing Ariadne de Mare with formal respect in front of her was utterly devastating.
Yet, for the first time in his life, something—perhaps desperation—overcame Cesare’s pride. He couldn’t let Ariadne go like this.
“This simply cannot be done.”
Alfonso’s tone grew colder.
“What exactly can’t be done?”
Alfonso had always worn a smile, even after returning from the battlefield. Though his demeanor had changed somewhat, his expression remained the same. Cesare had always dismissed public opinion claiming Alfonso now carried more dignity or seemed colder than before.
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.”
