The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 216
Outside the bedroom stretched a grand corridor. Upon stepping out and opening the door, Neris was overwhelmed by the sheer vastness of the space and hesitated, unsure which way to go.
If this place were indeed real, surely someone would come looking for her. So she pulled out one of her hairpins and dropped it right in front of the bedroom door—it was the most suitable item she had for that purpose. Besides, her neatly coiffed hair was adorned with quite a few of them.
“Anyone who enters here will know I was here.”
If she dropped them one by one at intervals, they would serve as traceable clues. Of course, this precaution assumed that someone who knew her could enter before she starved to death.
Was there really no one living here? It seemed unlikely that the inhabitants would voluntarily abandon such a magnificent space. Yet if the place had fallen into ruin, shouldn’t the bedroom and this corridor show more signs of disarray?
Or perhaps someone had been secretly living here all along?
All around was silent. After some deliberation, Neris chose the left. Both directions seemed to stretch endlessly, so she simply left it to chance.
Walking along the corridor to the left of the bedroom, she dropped pins intermittently for a long while before finally spotting another door. Compared to the bedroom door, which had been of ordinary size, this one was about three times as tall and twice as wide.
Still pondering, she grasped the astonishingly intricate doorknob. Gently turning it, she pushed the door open.
To her surprise, the door opened easily—without even the usual creaking sound. And inside—
It was a library.
Slightly yellowish magical orbs densely filled the ceiling. Bookshelves, packed with volumes, rose to about twice a person’s height and extended so far into the distance they seemed like an optical illusion. The scent of old paper and dust hung in the air.
The far end of the library was faintly visible—so distant it seemed comical, like a horizon.
“This could fit at least three Imperial Palace libraries.”
Moreover, the shelves were far too tall for an ordinary person to reach, yet there wasn’t a single ladder in sight—as if it had been built not for humans, but for some other being.
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.”
