The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Neris’s tears were as dangerous as shattered glass, yet shimmered with a radiant beauty.
Her lips, which had pleaded so earnestly, were now tightly sealed like a flower bud, but her tears did not cease. Bathed in moonlight, they glowed like silver threads.
Cledwin, who had hesitated, quietly called out to her.
“…Neris.”
If she was trapped in a nightmare, he wanted to awaken her.
He wanted to ensure nightmares could never touch her at all.
Yet Neris showed no reaction to his soft call. Instead, her brow furrowed faintly, as if the nightmare continued.
Cledwin’s hand slowly reached toward her face.
Inside the dark carriage, the only light came from moonlight drifting through the air. His broad, knotted right hand gradually emerged into that silvery glow and finally rested gently against the girl’s cheek.
His body stiffened as though doused in icy winter water. The warmth his fingertips touched stirred his heart more powerfully than any trial he had faced before.
Soon, his firm thumb traced her tear’s path—not too firmly, nor too lightly.
When the hand that had lingered upon her cheek gently pressed her delicate jawline and withdrew—
A whisper like a breath brushed against his slightly reddened ear.
“…I thought… you’d already left.”
“I haven’t gone yet.”
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.”
