“Sis, is it really okay to return to the empire like this?”
Diana worriedly looked at her older sister.
“There’s nothing but bad memories in the empire. What if you run into her again……”
White skin, brown hair, hazel eyes with a touch of orange.
Diana’s beautiful older sister smiled kindly.
“Yes, it’s okay. I’m glad to be back in my homeland, the empire, after so long.”
“Right, Sis, you’ve always missed the empire.”
Diana’s face scrunched up.
“I don’t understand why the victim, my sister, has to suffer because of that wicked witch.”
“……Diana. Don’t get too angry.”
“Sis, you have an unforgettable scar! That wicked woman is living brazenly without even an apology!”
Diana became excited.
“Libertan was caught for treason and was supposed to be punished, but now she’s the Duchess Blanched and is living flamboyantly. How can the world be like this?”
“I’m fine. It’s all forgiven.”
“I’m not okay! If I see that woman, I won’t stay still.”
That’s when the Queen of Roium spoke sternly.
“Do not behave rashly.”
“Mother!”
“Remember that Roium is at stake in whatever happens.”
The Queen of Roium held the hand of her troubled daughterinlaw and smiled sadly.
“Don’t worry too much, my dear. Roium may not be as powerful as the empire, but we’re not weak either. Especially since you’re our family. I won’t let our family suffer.”
“Thank you, Mother. But I’m still not married to Hesen……”
“It’s already our family if the wedding is just a few days away.”
The queen’s compassionate words seemed to move her daughterinlaw to tears. The queen looked even more pitifully at her daughterinlaw and comforted her.
Soon, Cinderella, Miruyu, who would become the queen of the Loyal Kingdom, fluttered her long eyelashes.
‘I should have died with treason.’
Libertan’s fake was fortunate enough to become a duchess.
But fortunately, the empire still called Estelle a great villain. It was the same as before she left to become the crown princess.
‘……There’s no way my lie will be discovered.’
Miruyu looked at the Loyal mansion and smiled pleasantly.
‘No one will believe her anyway.’
But Miruyu’s hand nervously touched the choker around her neck.
(This is a time separator.)
I arrived at the party, adorned splendidly. Everyone worried so much about my safety that it was not easy to move around.
‘The fortunate thing is.’
After misunderstanding my lifespan, they granted all my requests.
Thanks to that, I was able to go to the party without Johan.
‘This party is for the United Kingdom…’
This party was a casual gathering of the top nobles of the United Kingdom who had arrived in the empire.
‘It’s perfect to make connections with the people of the United Kingdom.’
If I run away to the United Kingdom, the empire will have a hard time touching me, and if I go out to sea, they will never find me.
‘If I have connections with the United Kingdom nobles, it’ll be easy to ask for permission.’
So, it was best to know as much as possible about the United Kingdom today. Making connections would be even better.
The nobles of the United Kingdom at the party looked at me with astonished eyes. Such a reaction was very familiar.
But the nobles just glanced at me, and there was no one to greet me, so I had to stand awkwardly.
‘I thought it was practical because it’s centered on the top nobles here.’
It seemed that, because of my reputation, they didn’t come to greet me openly.
‘Still, the host of the party will come to greet me.’
Then, one of the young ladies huddled together whispered loud enough for me to hear, ‘Why is that villain…’
“In the United Kingdom, do you not know your own wrongdoing? Truly brazenly….”
I elegantly walked step by step towards that young lady.
At first, the young lady, who was going to pretend not to know, gradually paled as she saw me approaching. When I arrived in front of her, she bowed her head.
“I am Lady Nadia Mors from the Deph Kingdom. It is an honor to meet you, Duchess Blanchet.”
“Nice to meet you, Lady Mors. Sorry, but what family is Mors?”
“It is an earl’s house in the Deph Kingdom.”
“I see. I don’t know much about the affairs of other kingdoms.”
I smiled at Nadia.
“But you seem to know me very well, don’t you?”
“Ah, that is…….”
Nadia spoke, clutching her hem tightly.
“I apologize, Duchess Blanchet. It may be a bit difficult for you to hear…….”
I looked at Nadia, who was biting her lip in difficulty, with a genuinely worried expression.
“No, Lady. If you just apologize without explanation, I might misunderstand you.”
“…….”
“That the Deph Kingdom tried to disregard the empire…….”
The atmosphere around me stirred even more at my words. I watched such a reaction and smiled with my eyes curved.
“Of course, I’m joking.”
“…….”
“Although it might not be.”

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.”
