The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
“Who on earth could have orchestrated this?”
Aracila tapped her fingers on the desk, lost in thought.
In truth, the first suspects that came to her mind were the House of Duke Vandermir.
She strongly suspected they might have bribed Claire to frame Damian with a scandalous affair.
After their failed ambush in the western region, they could easily have been desperate enough to attempt something like this.
But.
“I doubt they’d choose a method that exposes their own family’s dirty secrets so blatantly.”
Unexpectedly, Damian’s alleged illegitimate child scandal had dragged the past of the Vandermir ducal house into the open, making it a hot topic.
The fact that the Duke had fathered his eldest son, Oscar, with another woman while still married to his first Duchess was a fatal weakness for their family.
Frankly speaking, although Oscar’s origins had long been buried, his birth itself began as an illegitimate affair, and there were certainly people who would view that with unease.
No matter how badly they wanted Damian and Aracila divorced, they wouldn’t deliberately remind everyone of their own shameful past.
“If it wasn’t the House of Duke Vandermir, then who impersonated Damian and for what purpose?”
Had someone deliberately planned this from the start just to tarnish his reputation?
If so, could they also be connected to the ambush incident?
Or perhaps, they hadn’t intended things to escalate this far?
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.”
