The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“…Father.”
Yuli met Assemblyman Chae’s gaze and spoke softly.
“Do you happen to know why Jae Ho and Min Woo are so hostile toward each other?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, Assemblyman Chae’s brow furrowed.
“You should ask them directly, not me. I can only guess—it’s not certain. Did you come see me this early in the morning just to ask that?”
“It’s partly because of that….”
After a brief silence, Yuli cautiously spoke again.
“I’ve been thinking it over for several days. Why you wanted so badly to get rid of Min Woo. At first, I thought it was because of me….”
Assemblyman Chae listened silently, his expression unchanged.
“But no matter how I think about it, it seems it wasn’t about me—it was about Yu Ri. If Yu Ri hadn’t liked Min Woo, I doubt you’d have cared whether or not he’d planted bugs in the officetel. Am I right?”
“Hmm.”
Instead of answering her question, Assemblyman Chae turned his head toward the garden.
But that gesture was a silent admission that her guess was correct—if it weren’t true, he would have denied it immediately. Predictably, his sharp voice followed.
“Why bring that up all of a sudden?”
“I don’t really have an agenda. I was just wondering… what kind of person am I to you, Father?”
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.”
