The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 115
After skimming through the newspapers brought by the maid, the Marquis wore a subtly dissatisfied expression.
“Why is the coverage so lukewarm? I heard the archbishop would give an interview, but it didn’t happen?”
He had expected more sensational reporting on the public wedding ceremony—between the century’s iconic couple, Arthur and Christina—being held again in their territory.
Usually, the person in charge handled things swiftly and intelligently without being told. What was going on?
Had the man lost his touch?
Coverage had indeed been published—but not on the front page.
Moreover, the archbishop’s anticipated interview, accompanying illustrations, and the blessing message the temple was supposed to contribute were all missing.
Granted, the archbishop didn’t directly control the numerous daily newspapers, but they could easily have conveyed the event’s grand significance.
It wasn’t reduced to a single line like an ordinary wedding, yet it failed to leave the impression of a major celebration as he’d envisioned.
At this rate, it hardly felt any different from the quiet private ceremony the two had held five years ago.
If anything, the memorial mass attended by Arthur and the knights received more prominent coverage.
“What about the temple newsletter?”
“We sent someone, but they said it’s still being prepared and couldn’t give us a copy yet.”
The Marquis raised an eyebrow.
“Don’t they have even a single copy to show me first?”
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.”

What is going onn??? It feels like someone is pulling everyone’s strings and my main question of who puy the hit out hasn’t been answered
All my guesses for how this novel was going gl go have been somehow wrong . I could sense they wouldn’t be together for a long time but I didn’t want it to be true
The future looks scary and uncertain here… I said I saw no way for reina and Arthur to be together and I was proven right
