The Day I Quit Being a Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Eun Soo hesitated for a moment at Hyuk Joo’s call.
It’d be better not to answer.
Yet her finger had already pressed the answer button. Remembering Young Ran’s advice to act as if nothing had happened, Eun Soo picked up the phone as usual.
“Yes.”
—I was just wondering what you were up to.
“Just… here.”
—Are you going out? Sounds like you’re in a car.
Though they weren’t driving fast, Hyuk Joo immediately realized Eun Soo was in a vehicle.
She’d thought he wouldn’t notice.
Eun Soo bit her lip hard, then let go. Steadying her voice, which kept threatening to sink into tears, she lied.
“I’m heading to the art museum.”
—This late?
His tone carried a note of doubt, as if he’d checked the time in Korea.
“It’s less crowded at this hour.”
—I guess so.
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.”
