The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
“Extra! Extra!”
Newspaper boys raced through every street corner, tirelessly distributing morning and evening editions. Sensational headlines splashed across the front pages plunged the empire’s citizens into shock.
“The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, risen once more!”
“The Emperor’s wedding turned into a bloodstained courtroom!”
“The late Emperor’s consort, Marchioness Katrina, exposed in her hideous truth!”
“The future Empress, shackled instead of crowned!”
News of the incident—now famously dubbed the “Katrina Scandal”—spread rapidly throughout the Jupiter Empire. Any gathering of two or more people inevitably turned into fervent discussion of the affair.
“Truly, she’s a sorceress of unprecedented wickedness! Who would have thought Marchioness Katrina was behind the Empress Dowager’s assassination?”
“And she even plotted against His Grace the Grand Duke! Not to mention Her Grace the Grand Duchess and the unborn royal child as well!”
The public learned of Katrina’s vile deeds—assassinating the Empress Dowager and attempting to murder the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess. Investigations further revealed the complicity of the former fiancée to the throne, Rozeline, and numerous pro-Emperor nobles.
“They say Rozeline Fleur, the former Crown Princess, conspired with pro-Emperor nobles in all those unfortunate incidents that plagued the Grand Ducal House!”
“And the uncovered corruption—tax evasion, bribery, slave trading—it’s staggering! They say His Grace the Grand Duke spent the last ten years investigating all this since stepping down from the Crown Prince title.”
Pro-Emperor noble houses, such as those of Count Refenser and Viscount Desen, who had thrived in the Noble Assembly with Katrina’s backing, were now being purged one after another. Kaeron’s long-secret investigations had finally laid bare their corruption in full.
“Now all that remains is for His Grace and Her Grace to ascend the throne!”
“His Grace, hailed as the reincarnation of Jupiter’s founding Emperor, ascending the imperial throne—and with Her Grace, already flawless as Empress, by his side… Our Jupiter Empire has nothing to fear for its future!”
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.”
