The Mad Commander is Obsessive (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“Delia, Delia. Everyone adored only her—Grandfather, our parents, even the courtiers.”
Alfredo gazed at the rippling surface of the liquid, then lifted it.
The strong liquor in his goblet flowed into his mouth, accompanied by the sound of the lute.
“Even our enemies only seek that child—Stilietz, Pver.”
Alfredo’s voice, soaked in alcohol, spilled out.
“But I… was always blamed, no matter what I did.”
Bitter jealousy gnawed away at Alfredo.
“They set their own standards, and every time I failed to satisfy them, I was constantly compared—to my perfect younger sibling.”
Recalling all the contemptuous glances he’d endured thus far, Alfredo felt his breath catch.
They looked at him with pity, merely because he fell short of their expectations.
“If only Delia had been born first. If only she’d been born a boy. If only the crown prince had simply abdicated.”
Alfredo’s voice sank lower and lower.
“So I desperately wanted Delia to understand—to truly feel how it feels to be looked at like that.”
He’d lived shrunken in the shadow of his brilliant younger sibling.
The more his sibling was loved and shone, the deeper Alfredo sank into darkness.
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.”

It seems the emperor has caught feelings that even he isn’t fully aware of yet.
