Stop Coming On to Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
Rocard could recognize the Empress’s changed appearance even in the darkness—she had aged drastically in just a few weeks.
Yet he felt no pity for her.
“Your Majesty the Empress must also have something to give me.”
“So you insist on exacting your price? That belongs to me. You merely carried it across the sea—it is the legacy my love left me.”
“It is mine now, Your Majesty. Your safety and Prince Leor’s life are mine as well.”
“Just say what you want!”
The Empress cried out, but her voice sounded pitiful.
“Make Prince Leor come before you and declare that he will abandon the succession examinations and yield the position of Crown Prince.”
“…Is there nothing else? I’ll give you everything—First Councilor’s seat, iron ore mining rights, anything.”
“Persuade Prince Leor. If you don’t, I will report directly to His Majesty. I cannot predict how far his wrath might reach.”
She wept with a tightly clenched mouth, groaning as if in pain from enduring something unbearable.
She spoke.
“Can you imagine how it felt for a mother to sicken her own son with her own hands? To resort to such extreme measures just to save him, only to discover that the antidote had rotted away in the meantime?”
Rocard’s breathing grew ragged.
“So Prince Leor’s illness… the war… it was artificial, meant to avoid fighting in the Amata campaign?”
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.”
