The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 241
The Crown Prince’s summons order was swiftly delivered throughout the Empire.
To this year’s Academy graduates, the Imperial Court’s declaration of war against Maindlant had initially been little more than an amusing anecdote.
After all, hardly anyone among their peers—who had studied alongside Neris—felt purely benevolent toward her, the most successful of their cohort. War? Well… it was unfortunate, certainly, but the Imperial Court and the Grand Duchy were no match for each other anyway.
Except for those with unavoidable circumstances, everyone gathered in the Imperial Capital. And with a few exceptions, they enlisted nominally—knowing nothing of the actual situation.
It was called “nominal enlistment” precisely because no one had yet been deployed to the front lines.
The military administration, suddenly required to dispatch reinforcements to Marquis Tipian’s domain, found itself overwhelmed beyond capacity. The declaration of war had come like lightning frying beans, followed immediately by a flood of noble heirs eagerly enlisting—leaving officials utterly swamped.
Thus, these precious young nobles effectively found themselves idle in the Imperial Capital, with no set term or restrictions.
Consequently, the Imperial Capital’s social scene became unusually crowded with young people.
Their parents were inwardly distraught, but the youths themselves soon began to see their peculiar circumstances as a unique opportunity.
Of course, anxiety and fear weren’t absent—but living among peers much as they had at school diluted some of the dread of war.
Moreover, many had already been preparing for their debut in the Capital’s society anyway, so they promptly launched into enthusiastic social engagements.
“Mother! Where are my new gloves? You know, the white ones!”
“Father, could you please give me some money for carriage repairs? I accidentally wrecked it yesterday while fooling around.”
Watching their children chatter idly as they always had during school days, parents sighed in half exasperation, half relief.
After all, these were youths in the prime of their lives. If the war ended quickly enough that they never had to see battle, wouldn’t this actually be a splendid chance to debut under the public eye?
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.”
