The Regressed Empress Tames the Hunting Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“I’m Bellia of Ronica. Nice to meet you, Lady Canteloup.”
Though it had been a long time since she last saw that face, all her memories of her came rushing back the moment she laid eyes on her.
Elin Canteloup.
The eldest daughter of Duke Canteloup, head of the Imperial Council—the very pinnacle of power.
Yet, she had never gotten along well with Bellia in particular.
“We’ll be seeing each other often from now on.”
Her manner was exceedingly cheerful and polite, but Bellia knew better.
In the blink of an eye, Lady Canteloup had swept her gaze up and down Bellia with a look of clear disapproval.
‘…Guess we won’t be getting along this time either.’
She didn’t particularly want to be close to her, but she also didn’t feel like wasting energy dealing with petty annoyances.
“This must be your first time in the Empire, Your Highness? If there’s anything you don’t understand, please feel free to ask me. I’ll do my best to help.”
“Oh my. Thank you for your kind heart, Lady. I look forward to your help.”
Bellia and Lady Canteloup exchanged smiles, both wearing masks of gentle courtesy.
But they had already realized they thoroughly disliked each other.
Bellia would never ask her for anything or seek her advice. Yet, fully aware of this fact, both women calmly exchanged pleasantries as if nothing were amiss.
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.”
