The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
Surprisingly, Sukrel knew a fair bit about dining etiquette.
Since this was something one had to learn deliberately, I raised an eyebrow.
“You eat so gracefully.”
“Oh! Thank you for the compliment. I want everything to look lovely in Your Majesty’s eyes.”
When Sukrel giggled, Sir Chopin again showed signs of discomfort.
He must have found Sukrel’s demeanor terribly awkward—there was no one quite like this in the Knights.
Just as we were halfway through the meal,
suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in midair, and a letter fluttered down gently.
“Your Majesty, it’s dangerous!”
Witnessing this unfamiliar sight, Sir Chopin’s eyes widened as he gripped his sword—reacting as if an assassin, not a letter, had just arrived.
But I already knew who had sent this letter.
“It’s fine. It’s from Grand Duke Silverrose.”
“…Grand Duke Silverrose? Do you mean the mage, Your Majesty?”
“Yes. Ah, now that I think of it, you remained in the Imperial Palace this time. He met the Duke aboard the cruise.”

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.”
