The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
“To be honest, I’ve always been quite interested in you, my lady.”
Noah whispered in a very low voice, his expression mingling slight shyness with intense curiosity.
Aracila replied carefully, making sure not to step on his feet.
“In me? Why is that?”
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but… I’m actually a mage myself. Though my abilities are insignificant compared to yours.”
“Oh, that explains why I sensed some magical energy from you.”
It wasn’t particularly strong, but she had indeed sensed magic from him a few times before.
Glad to unexpectedly meet another mage, Aracila offered a faint smile. Noah likewise lifted the corners of his mouth in a relaxed grin.
“I heard you’re to become the next head of the Imperial Mage Tower. That’s why I asked you for this dance—to make a good impression.”
“The honor is mine, Your Highness.”
“The honor is mine. I’m standing before the very person who will become a role model for mages across the continent and lead them forward.”
Noah spoke with pure sincerity, without a trace of pretense.
No one could remain unmoved by such heartfelt praise. Aracila felt the jealousy that had been dragging her mood down slowly begin to lift.
“When you officially become head of the Mage Tower, I’d like to send some of our kingdom’s mages to study under you. I believe they have much to learn from you.”
“Do you truly think so? My master—and current head of the Mage Tower—Lord Philip is still far more accomplished than I am.”
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.”
