Sister of the Ranking 1st (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
I’d rather this dream last forever. Knowing it was an impossible wish, the man who bore loneliness upon his heart smiled faintly.
It is foolish to yearn for days that will never return.
It is time now to awaken from this dream.
[This is the timeline separator]
I saw a man holding my corpse. Just what weighed so heavily upon him? His hollow black eyes held emotions I myself could not easily decipher.
Rain poured from the gloomy sky. Rainwater streamed down his face as he held me—almost as if he were weeping.
“…Why.”
I still couldn’t understand the despair that child had endured. What could have happened to him in that other world that left him sitting on a bench with such utter emptiness? Why did he cling so desperately to that single thread of hope upon seeing the younger me tell him, “I’m still here,” when he claimed to have nothing left?
And why did he wear that expression now, as if losing me alone had shattered everything—even though other things remained?
“Why… why did it have to end like this for you…?”
Yet the emotion etched into that voice reached me suffocatingly, even though I couldn’t comprehend him.
How must it feel to have watched the death of a cherished friend again and again? And how utterly hopeless must he have felt knowing nothing—no method, no miracle—could ever bring them back?
“Shin Ah… why…?”
What must it have felt like to realize you could do nothing for the one person who became your sole hope when you said you had nothing left?
“Ah… aah… aaaaaah—!”
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.”
