The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Moreover, over the past years, the number of times the Holy Maiden had entered His Majesty the Emperor’s bedchamber was beyond counting.
‘Though for the past few years, it had been nearly nonexistent.’
Such was the fickle nature of a man’s heart.
The devotion once directed toward the Holy Maiden had now shifted entirely to Her Majesty the Empress.
This was the perfect time to secure an heir… yet now Her Majesty declared she would take a consort, driving him to the brink of madness.
How could the two of them be so utterly at odds?
“Then, have another message sent expressing your willingness to share the bed. I suppose the Empress will accept it readily enough.”
“No, Your Majesty. What I meant was that you should seize this opportunity wisely. For instance, before boarding the cruise, wear a wig and attire completely unlike your usual self… or perhaps don a mask.”
The transformed Empress was utterly fearless, like a vanguard general commanding a hundred thousand troops.
Anyone who dared block her path would be trampled beneath the hooves of warhorses.
Her Majesty’s expression, gestures, and demeanor—all radiated an overwhelming air of dominance.
And every time James faced such an Empress, one thought invariably crossed his mind.
Ah, Her Majesty would never forgive His Majesty the Emperor.
In that case… it was somewhat underhanded, but there was no other choice.
He would have to draw near while pretending to be someone else.

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.”
