The Only Healer, Ruela (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“Have you received your invitation to the royal palace ball?”
She had sat down on a bench to rest for a moment when two noblewomen on the neighboring bench began whispering to each other.
“Yes. Who do you think will be the next to die this time?”
“I heard Ruela Romnin joined a newly formed guild. Since that guild was invited too, won’t His Majesty’s attention shift toward them?”
Ruela deliberately turned her body slightly away from the noblewomen. Merely showing them her back at a slight angle would be enough to signal she had no interest in them.
“I heard the person who founded that guild is an Elab noble. Aren’t we in a position where we absolutely can’t afford to make enemies of them right now? This food shortage is unprecedentedly severe.”
“But do you really think His Majesty and Master Balder will just let Ruela Romnin be? She’s the woman who made fools of them.”
“But we can’t possibly kill the First Duke of Elab. Didn’t you hear he’s the Elab Emperor’s cousin?”
“But what does that matter? If he gets upset, he’ll just unleash monsters again and blockade the harbor.”
“Shh! What if someone hears you?”
She could feel the two women glancing toward her. But Ruela kept her eyes fixed on the scenery ahead, humming a tune as though she hadn’t heard a thing. Just in case, she lowered her parasol a bit more so her hair color wouldn’t show.
Convinced Ruela hadn’t heard them, the two noblewomen continued their conversation.
“In any case, if food imports don’t come through properly this time, a real rebellion might break out.”
“But with monsters around, is that even possible?”
“Did you know? I heard radicals plan to approach the Perose Guild during the royal palace ball.”
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.”

Oh, my heart almost stopped! Luckily nothing happened and I completed the task.

What is this? This is slavery, not a kingdom. People have no freedom whatsoever; they can even dictate how often they use the bathroom. How outrageous! It’s truly suffocating. How can people live in a place like this? It’s utterly disgusting.
