Lady Devil - Chapter 140
140.
The princess whispered softly. Johannes, who had been momentarily lost in thought, hastily composed his expression. After hesitating helplessly, he barely managed to take a step forward.
“Come closer.”
Even though there was no more space to get closer, that was the demand. Johannes, who had been awkwardly hesitating, moved in until there was no gap at all. Now, between him and the princess, there was barely space left for their gazes to meet as they looked down and up at each other.
The princess was silent for a while with an expressionless face. Her gaze, fixed straight ahead, flicked left and right. She seemed to be secretly checking the guard’s movements. Her eyes fell back down, fixing on Johannes. Her lips, painted red but unable to hide their dry, cracked texture, moved faintly.
“You…”
Softly.
“Cruel monster…”
Even softer.
“Pretending to be innocent, you mock me.”
…Why.
Johannes was at a loss for words, unable to respond. He was stunned that even today, fifteen days after the incident, he was still being treated as a monster without fail. The hideous nails that had scratched the princess’s wrist flashed through his mind, but hadn’t that all been a hallucination?
So… don’t do this, mother. Johannes swallowed the earnest plea he had almost blurted out, biting his lips tightly. Even if my sin is great, I am still the son you bore with such pain. However, the princess’s lips showed no sign of taking back her harsh words.
“You are… the black wolf herding the sheep, aren’t you…”
The princess whispered softly.
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.”
