The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
‘Has Enrique ever felt his heart race like this for me?’
I wasn’t sure, but judging by the fact I’d never recalled being moved by the rhythm of my own heartbeat, perhaps Enrique had remained perfectly calm—even in the moment we kissed.
I was the only one who loved.
It was possible that Enrique had felt some fondness for me, maybe even liked me, simply because I’d treated him well.
But the love—it was mine alone.
Strangely, that thought made me feel better.
In the past, it would have been unbearably unpleasant… but now, the mere fact that I could share real, mutual love with Meriem for the first time filled me with joy.
‘Without even trying hard or forcing myself, my heart just naturally moved toward him.’
Apparently, I’d been unknowingly stressing myself by resisting the current in my heart that kept flowing toward Meriem.
This time, I’d follow my heart instead of my head.
Murmuring this to myself, I began envisioning a distant future with Meriem.
If only he could endure the agony of being confined in this narrow bathtub for a little longer today, perhaps we might even have a child someday.

“Hmm.”
The warmth beside me through the long night brought happiness beyond imagination.
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.”
