The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
“Well, anyway, it’s time I head to bed now. I’m so sleepy.”
Aracila let out a small yawn, stretching her arms as she leaned her upper body onto the desk.
Damian quickly averted his gaze, having noticed the front of her dress slightly parting due to her having worn something comfortable and light indoors.
It wasn’t as if anything indecent was exposed—he just felt embarrassed that his eyes might unintentionally wander there.
His downward-turned eyes fell upon his own neat appearance. Even though he’d dressed casually in just a shirt, he hadn’t dared loosen up entirely in front of Aracila, keeping his buttons fastened all the way to his collar.
“When are you going to sleep?”
“…I still have a bit of work left. Don’t worry about me—go ahead and rest first.”
“Alright then. Don’t stay up too late. I’ll go.”
Aracila yawned again, seemingly really tired, waved her hand, and left. Damian remained alone in the office, silently finishing up his work.
A short while later, after completing everything, he rubbed his tired eyes and suddenly thought:
“It feels so empty.”
Perhaps because Aracila had left first—unlike usual when they always tidied up together—the office felt unusually quiet and vast.
How long had it even been since they started sharing this office together that he was already feeling this way? Damian found himself absurdly ridiculous.
“…Was bringing her on truly a mistake?”
He stared intently at Aracila’s neatly arranged desk.
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.”
