The Credentials of a Couple (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
“Meriel.”
I called her name, but no reply came. I couldn’t wait any longer and reached out my hand—then stopped.
The child feared me.
It was a shock. This was not how I had imagined our reunion.
I bit my lips hard. Tears threatened to spill over, but I couldn’t let them fall in front of the trembling child. The girl who used to say “Mother is the best in the world” over and over now watched me warily, like a wounded animal.
“…Do you recognize who I am?”
“…”
I’d barely spoken a single sentence, yet her small shoulders shook visibly. Her eyes, fixed on me, shimmered with tears ready to pour out at any moment.
“Am I frightening you?”
“…”
I wanted nothing more than to rush over and hold her tightly right then and there—but I couldn’t. To her, I was nothing but a source of terror.
Further conversation was futile. I weakly withdrew my outstretched hand. Seeing the child’s expression relax slightly as I pulled away, I didn’t know what face I should wear.
I’d thought things would get better. After all, just knowing she was alive had filled me with hope that we could return to how things used to be. But the storm that had swept through us once had left wounds too deep to heal.
Looking at my young daughter, whom I couldn’t even bring myself to touch, I clasped my hands together. My nails dug into my palms so hard it hurt—but I preferred the pain. Only then could I face this cruel reality without turning away.
Just then, a low voice sounded behind me.
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.”
