Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 065
Why was she unwell—was it possible that it wasn’t her body, but her heart that ached? He was afraid.
After all, wasn’t it commonly said that diseases of the heart were not easily cured?
His own mother had fallen victim to such an illness and ultimately changed beyond recognition, so he could no longer stand idly by.
Thus, Karaf summoned Asha to the rose garden after a long while.
He wanted her to rest, and perhaps glean some clue as to why she was suffering so.
Yet, his wounded pride wouldn’t let him ask outright if it was because of him.
He had carved out precious time from his busy schedule, arranged this quiet spot—but Asha kept her head bowed before him, refusing to engage in proper conversation.
The past Karaf, frustrated and only drinking from the teacup before him, was left alone; the present Karaf, however, could clearly see Asha’s expression and was utterly shocked.
Asha was terrified—terrified of him standing right before her.
Her shoulders trembled faintly, as if fearing he might suddenly turn violent again at any moment.
Seeing this, Karaf suddenly wondered:
Perhaps Asha didn’t dislike the rose garden itself—but rather the situation of being alone with him…?
He had brought her here to let her rest?
Now he realized there couldn’t be a more foolish thought. She could never truly relax in his presence.
Only now did he understand that.
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.”

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.
What terrible phrasing. ‘He couldn’t possibly take her…’ She is the empress of the empire, Jackel needs to get with the program. She has shown herself to be stronger and more resilient than anyone else in this novel.
