Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 040
No matter what, he couldn’t possibly allow a strange woman—someone other than Asha—to touch his bare body.
Truth be told, even when Asha touched him, Jackal still hadn’t gotten used to it and often flinched in surprise.
Soon, he pulled his leg back.
It was a gentle, indirect way of saying “Don’t touch me.”
At his reaction, Sonya’s eyes widened, and she asked,
“Lady Banetsa, could it be that he only accepts your touch?”
“Hmm, it seems he’s just very shy around strangers, especially in an unfamiliar place.”
“Does he shy away from words too?”
“Yes. Shephy’s far too much of a gentleman among beasts.”
Asha laughed cheerfully.
Sonya clicked her tongue slightly in disappointment and withdrew her hand.
Asha said,
“Then I’ll stay with Shephy until dinner. Would you mind heading back first?”
“Yes! I’ll go ahead and prepare your meal and bath! Rest well, and come back soon. Goodbye, Shephy!”
After Sonya waved cheerfully even as she left the room, their long-awaited moment alone finally arrived.
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.”

No way…did Karaf set up this situation with the assassin or kidnapping attempt to earn points?
Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.
It seems backward that the Empress is invited to a Duchess’ tea party.
