With deliberate intent, Herdin made Blair’s body tense up further. Sensing her resistance, he moved slowly but relentlessly, merging their bodies.
Blair’s body reacted to this intentional act, and she involuntarily arched her back. Herdin’s arms pulled her waist closer to him.
Deeper, deeper.
Herdin thrust forcefully, exhaling roughly. Just waiting for her to calm down was already testing his patience to the limit.
Ironically, the woman who was driving him crazy had no idea how great her patience was, but it didn’t matter.
Putting aside the nonsense about having a good relationship that he had spoken a while ago, he wanted to release his desire, which was on the verge of exploding.
Herdin finally lost control and started shaking Blair. Her blurry vision suddenly cleared when she bit her lips.
Gradually, the unfamiliar yet familiar act awakened the sensations her body had forgotten, even as her consciousness faded.
Blair struggled to breathe properly, overwhelmed by the thrilling sensations. Herdin narrowed his eyes as he watched her.
“Breathe, Blair.”
His rough voice scratched at her ears. But contrary to his worried words, he became even more relentless.
In the depths of her fading consciousness, Blair instinctively pulled him closer. Knowing that the demon tormenting her was none other than him, she had no choice but to embrace him.
In this moment, in this world, there were only the two of them.
Finally, Herdin reached the end, and as he cooled his body, he admired the woman who was now nestled in his embrace.
The woman who was fully embraced was beautiful.
Objectively, she had a beautiful face, and there was no denying that. However, this fact suddenly hit him.
Everything about her, from her appearance bathed in moonlight, her moist purple eyes, her reddened lips, and her voice trembling as she called his name, was adorable.
…Truly, annoyingly so.
For a moment, she forgot whose daughter she was.
Disgust welled up at the thought of her in that state. But even so, the thirst for this woman was not quenched. He couldn’t stop.
These feelings were just a momentary desire.
If he held onto her until this night passed, these ridiculous thoughts would surely stop. Like snow melting away in the night.
With that thought, Herdin embraced her once again.
“…Herdin?”
Blair, with her hazy eyes, belatedly realized the situation and tried to resist, but it was in vain.
Herdin found strange satisfaction in her actions as she clung to him again.
His solid and massive body became a prison, trapping her, and devoured her like a hungry beast.
All through the long winter night, without respite.
Buried in the distant and endless ecstasy, Blair kept reminding herself of one thing tirelessly.
Don’t forget, Blair.
He doesn’t love you.
“Ugh…”
Blair, feeling the sunlight creeping on her eyelids, lifted her heavy eyelids.
As her blurry vision cleared, the unfamiliar yet familiar view of the room came into her eyes.
Before returning to the past, it was the room of the Danish Duchess where she had stayed.
At that moment, she almost thought she had dreamed of going back to the past, but the absence of the dolls and items that were always placed around the room made it real.
Furthermore, the dull ache that she felt all over her body, which had lasted since the first night they spent together, proved that it wasn’t a dream.
“Although my memories remain, my body has returned to the past, so it’s only natural.”
Just like the first night she spent with him, or rather, her body felt much heavier and more painful than it did back then.
She suffered through the dizzying pleasure that mercilessly engulfed her, and when she finally fell asleep from exhaustion and woke up again, Herdin still didn’t let her go. He clung to her like someone entrusted with a task.
Blair fell asleep and woke up several times, and her last memory was the dim dawn when, exhausted, she fell asleep, with Herdin’s broad back moving further away from her.
Blair realized it as she looked at his back.
“This was your true intention.”
The man from her past who had guarded her side until morning had been so desperate to extract the truth from her.
And how naive I was to believe it.
The truth he had after miraculously returning to the past was colder and more bitter than she had thought.
But she felt relieved in a way. She wouldn’t have to carry the guilt of using him for her purpose.
With a calm heart, Blair forced her heavy body to sit up and pulled the cord.

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.”
