The Beast Swallowed by the Flower (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
“As you well know, Your Eminence, when I was young, I traveled all over the continent with my father. The genius I displayed during those journeys was truly unmatched. At that time, I even published academic papers under my own name. It was a sensation—an unprecedented genius emerging onto the scene.”
Erwell, unusually for her, boasted not about swordsmanship but something else entirely, though Minerva failed to notice this shift.
“I see. And so?”
“Well… there was this one place—actually, calling it a small nation feels a bit odd. It was a village inhabited by a certain tribe.”
Erwell pointed vaguely in some direction, but Minerva followed her finger’s tip with a serious expression.
“I’ve seen this exact symptom before.”
Minerva’s eyes widened.
“What illness is it?”
“I don’t know its name. They didn’t know either. But I do know this—it’s a contagious disease.”
“A contagious disease…? But no such disease has ever been documented before.”
“Of course it hasn’t. It’s infamous only among that tribal village and its vicinity. With no cure and no known cause, several villages must have vanished due to this plague. Ever since, they’ve reportedly killed and burned anyone showing symptoms, burying them immediately.”
“Oh my… how horrifying…”
“Still, that’s precisely why it took so long for this disease to reach here. I assumed they’d contained it well, but you know how plagues are—they resurge just when you think they’re gone, throwing people into… um, great suffering.”
Minerva rubbed her chin with her thumb.
“Are you certain this is truly a plague?”
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.”
