Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
The prince’s letter was less a letter and more a note.
“To the astonishing Ariadne.
Did it sink in well that day? The royal garden is full of hydrangeas in bloom, and it made me think of you. I hope we get a chance to meet at the palace soon.
— A.”
For a message from a prince, it was surprisingly romantic. It even included the secret nickname they’d once agreed upon.
But Ariadne, who was now forced to make her debutante entrance at the ball of a lifetime alongside a fake cousin she loathed, had no time to read between the lines. She hastily scribbled a reply stating only what she needed to say.
“To my dear Alfonso,
I didn’t realize you’d already use your wish. I need your help—will you be my debutante partner? I must enter the ball as the debutante escorted by the prince himself. I’ll explain the details later.
— Ariadne.”
The reply came far sooner than expected. Ariadne had entrusted her letter to a messenger on the late afternoon of the day Zanobi arrived, yet the prince’s courier reached her by seven o’clock the next morning.
Such speed would’ve been impossible unless the palace had insisted on urgent overnight delivery.
“To my dear Ariadne,
You don’t need to use your wish just to debut with the prince. Just tell me the date and place.
— Alfonso.”
Ariadne stood frozen for a moment after receiving Alfonso’s note. What struck her first was the contrast between her past life and the present.
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.”
