Strategic Marriage with the Mad Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“For the record, this isn’t a tournament I organized. I heard it’s been held since ancient times. It’s changed a bit over the years, though.”
“Oh, I see….”
“I said it just in case you misunderstood.”
What misunderstanding?
Helen’s cryptic words made my head tilt involuntarily. And not long after Anslie, the sword tournament champion, left, I finally understood what she’d meant.
From the circular stands surrounding the arena, a tense excitement began to ripple through the crowd, and soon two knights strode into the dueling grounds.
But something felt… slightly off.
Although it was supposed to be a swordsmanship tournament, both knights carried wooden practice swords. Not only did they lack armor or even light protective gear—they had both taken off their shirts entirely.
In that moment, I recalled Reus asking me if I even knew what kind of tournament this was.
“So that’s why he asked like that…”
I’d thought his expression was just oddly inscrutable, but now I realized—he’d been looking at me as if I were shameless!
The sword tournament in the Levain Kingdom was essentially a popularity contest among all knights holding knighthoods throughout the kingdom.
“I’m ruined.”
I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut as I remembered Reus giving me subtle hints about similar matters even back in the festival streets.
I couldn’t even begin to guess how he’d hint at it this time.
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.”
