The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
After tea time ended, Aidel’s weary footsteps headed toward the imperial garden.
She should have returned to the banquet hall, but in her current state, it was simply impossible. She needed time to compose herself.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t participated in social gatherings for so long. The noblewomen’s duplicitous speech felt unfamiliar to Aidel.
It was already difficult just trying to understand their way of speaking and hold a conversation, but what weighed on her even more was their obvious hostility toward her.
With smiles on their faces, they delivered sharp, needle-like words hidden beneath soft fabric. Even without openly showing it, their words carried a sharp malice.
Feeling the raw contempt clearly reflected in their eyes, she felt as though she had returned once again to the suffocating atmosphere of House Fleur.
‘Am I…’
Still an unwelcome presence?
The loneliness she had always swallowed alone quietly enveloped her once more.
Inside a gazebo in the imperial garden, Aidel sat slumped on a bench, staring blankly at the sky. Her expression grew hazy, like the blurred halo around the moonlight.
Just then, a neatly folded handkerchief was offered before her.
“Oh…”
Aidel drew a quiet breath and looked up at the person who’d handed her the handkerchief. Under the dim moonlight, her blurred vision couldn’t make out who it was.
“Are you alright?”
A gentle voice, brimming with warmth, reached her ears.
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.”

Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
