The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
“…Aracila, it was for your sake.”
Frederick, realizing his mistake too late as his expression changed in an instant, fell silent for a moment before speaking. In response, Aracila let out a cold, hollow laugh.
“Cut the nonsense, Frederick. Just how long have you been deceiving me with your schemes?”
Frederick merely furrowed his brow and said nothing, as if silently pressuring her—implying that what he’d done should have been enough.
Watching his domineering attitude, another thought suddenly struck her—the anonymous high-ranking imperial official linked to Damian’s assassination.
Could it possibly be Frederick as well? Aracila asked, her voice sounding more certain than doubtful.
“Was it also you who tried to kill Damian during the Western Demon Hunt?”
“Aracila, we’ve known each other for seven years. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
“Don’t dodge the question. Answer me straight.”
Aracila leaned forward firmly as she spoke.
At that, all expression vanished from Frederick’s face. He exhaled deeply, lifted his chin, and looked down at Aracila with arrogance.
“How impertinent, Lady Vandermir. Are you seriously accusing the Crown Prince of a crime without a shred of evidence?”
“…Your Highness’s very attitude is evidence enough. You’ve always been someone who clearly states ‘no’ when something isn’t true.”
Frederick neither denied nor confirmed it. Aracila, gazing at his ambiguous expression, spoke in a voice cracking with emotion.
“I still trusted you.”
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.”
