Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 390
Grand Duke Aud’s legs trembled violently. A numbness crept up his thighs, yet he couldn’t even determine whether it stemmed from his tendons or his muscles.
Meanwhile, King Philippe IV—whom Grand Duke Aud saw as a specter crawling up from hell to seize him—advanced slowly, step by deliberate step, drawing ever closer with the unhurried gait befitting a ghost.
“If it’s embezzlement, I could just as easily tack on treason. Diverting state funds to support foreigners, indeed.”
“Ugh… uh…”
Aud shuffled backward, one step at a time.
“You’ll probably insist it was just tax evasion. But think carefully.”
As King Philippe IV fixed his glare on Grand Duke Aud, the crowd instinctively split apart, clearing a straight path as if the King of Galico were heading out to hunt prey—nothing obstructed his way.
Philippe coaxed Aud in a singsong tone.
“It’s only a matter of time. I’ll arrest you, take you back to Montpellier, and strip your entire family bare until something turns up—while you remain in custody, of course.”
Philippe tilted his head slightly. What if his madness flared up again while Aud was locked away?
He quickly shook his head, casting off the worry. He could just keep Aud imprisoned until he regained his senses. What was there to fret about? If anyone should be worried, it was Aud—not him.
“What charge should I arrest you under?”
The eyes of the young king, barely in his late thirties, glowed with mania.
Indeed, to any observer, Philippe IV was clearly not of sound mind. Even with foreign dignitaries—including Pope Ludovico himself—present, he brazenly announced his intent to fabricate charges and make an arrest on the spot.
“Let’s see… what charges shall I find? Glancing sideways at me? Cutting something in an unlucky manner?”
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.”
