Strategic Marriage with the Mad Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
“This is your room, isn’t it?”
It had been their shared marital bedroom ever since the contract. Yet Roel spoke stiffly, as though she’d never once thought of it that way.
“The uncomfortable one should leave. I’ll step aside for you. Please stay comfortably, Reus.”
The words “uncomfortable person” pierced straight into Reus’s chest.
Roel had spoken as if referring to herself, yet it was really about him.
He’d always tried not to feel that way. But to her, he remained an unwelcome presence. If only he’d opened his heart sooner—if only he’d tried a little harder—might things have turned out differently?
Soon, the sound of a closing door echoed. Strangely, it felt as though that sound itself was telling him the outcome would’ve been the same regardless.
If even the sight of me causes you discomfort, there’s nothing more I can do.
Afraid that if he held her back, she’d abandon him right then and there, Reus stood helplessly before the line Roel had drawn, waiting endlessly for her.
[This is the timeline separator]
After leaving the bedroom that day, Roel buried herself in the library whenever she had a spare moment. Ever since she’d bluntly told Reus she preferred not to be disturbed while reading, he’d stopped approaching her.
It was an unspoken agreement between them.
They shared meals and bedtime together, but reading time belonged to Roel alone.
In return, she’d given up working. Reus kept leaving his office, inventing ridiculous excuses to seek her out, leaving her no choice.
Now, their interactions were reduced to brief moments together, yet even that became unbearable for Roel.
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.”
