The End Of The Special Contract Marriage (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
Aracila immediately attempted to dispel the magic, but failed. An intricate and complex magical formula enveloped the jewel box, making it impossible to approach easily.
‘Judging by the complexity, it seems a fairly high-ranking mage cast this spell.’
Moreover, the structure of the formula felt somewhat unfamiliar, suggesting it was an old artifact crafted at least several decades ago.
She didn’t know what exactly was inside, but it was undoubtedly something important—important enough to warrant such thorough security.
‘This won’t work. I’ll take it with me for now, show it to Damian, and figure out how to unlock it later.’
Aracila picked up the jewel box and stepped out of the room. Then, suddenly recalling something, she turned her steps toward the dressing room.
A moment later, she emerged with the door locked behind her, arms full—carrying not only the jewel box but also the dress from the portrait.
Vicky nearly fainted upon seeing her remove items from the room, but with time running short, she had no choice but to accept the key and hurry back.
As Audrey took the dress from Aracila and began organizing it, she asked,
“My lady, why did you bring these things?”
“The jewel box—I want to check what’s inside. And the dress—I’m giving it as a gift?”
Aracila smiled sweetly.
Although the dress she’d received had been ruined by spilled wine, returning the favor was only proper. Thus, she intended to offer this instead—
as a birthday present for the Duchess.
“Audrey, can you style me exactly as I request on the Duchess’s birthday party day?”
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.”
