The Runaway Female Lead Doesn't Run Away (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 90
Below a flock of white seagulls drifting through the sky, Dahlia boarded a large ship. Leaving behind the people frantically moving cargo, she settled into a corner and briefly scanned her surroundings before lowering her robe.
A cool sea breeze then swept refreshingly across her face.
“Ah… I feel like I can breathe again.”
Wearing a thick robe in weather that grew increasingly hot was naturally exhausting.
Just as she was fanning herself to cool down, Lloyd entered behind her and gently adjusted the robe back over her shoulders.
“The ship bound for the Easter Kingdom will depart soon. Until it sets sail, we can’t afford to let our guard down—so please, as stifling as it may be, don’t take off your robe.”
“Yes, ma’am. Please bear with it just a little longer. If you’re too hot, at least drink some water.”
“I know…”
At their words, Dahlia slumped her shoulders slightly. She couldn’t possibly complain to those who had willingly endured hardship for her sake.
She nodded to Samantha, who said she’d go check when the ship would depart, then turned her gaze toward the sea. The shimmering light dancing across the blue water looked peaceful.
How long had it been since they fled the manor? The three of them had just reached this southern port city, evading the Duke’s pursuit, and were about to board this ship to leave the Empire.
‘I never originally planned to leave the Empire…’
She had only intended to wait in a quiet village until her child was born, then return to the manor. Surely, once the Duke saw a child who looked just like her, all misunderstandings would be cleared.
But Clayton’s pursuit had proven far fiercer than anticipated, forcing them to decide to leave the Empire—at least for now. She absolutely couldn’t be caught before giving birth.
‘At least we’re not short on money—that’s a relief.’
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.”
