The Maid's Contract Marriage (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 190
Reina examined two marriage contracts together with Sir Kay and the lawyer.
Then she revealed that the Emperor had told Arthur he would grant him the title of “Duke of Serenade.”
After a brief moment of disbelief and verification, Kay and the lawyer realized just how accurately Reina understood the significance of the title “Serenade.”
There was no chance she had misheard.
Kay rubbed his temples as if troubled.
“It’s good…”
And then voiced the exact same thought Reina had.
“Too good—it’s dangerous.”
“…”
Reina silently affirmed with a lowered gaze.
If the Emperor’s word was carried out and the investiture ceremony held, Arthur would simultaneously become the rightful heir to the “Marquisate of Julius” under an imperial guarantee and the new “Duke of Serenade.”
Of course, compared to the Emperor—who held dozens of titles, including six dukedoms and over ten earldoms—and the Crown Prince, who possessed eight titles including two dukedoms, Arthur’s position was still modest.
But the weight of the facts—that “Serenade” had been the imperial house immediately preceding “Lusayk,” that “Julius” was the wealthiest man on the continent, that Arthur was a war hero reminiscent of the late Emperor, and that he might now qualify as an Elector Prince by succeeding Marquis Julius—was far from trivial.
Would the Empress really stand by and do nothing?
Reina spoke cautiously.
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.”
