The Savior Who Bites My Neck (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Lady Elaina, are you feeling alright? You don’t seem as pale as I feared you might be……
The face of Madame Regas, who approached with these words, was clearly filled with concern.
She sat close to Elaina, as if she had completely forgotten her earlier question of whether she dared address her by name, and grasped Elaina’s hand first with one, then the other, utterly absorbed—like a mother visiting her daughter.
Yet, despite her meddling kindness, Elaina did not find it unpleasant, and smiled warmly in reply.
“Yes, I’m quite fine. I was merely startled.”
“And His Royal Highness? Though I saw him from afar, he appeared to be in grave condition……”
“Sinclair is well too. Of course, he was bitten by a lion, so it’s hardly a minor wound—but the Doctor says his life is in no danger, and with sufficient rest, he will recover fully.”
“Oh, thank heavens!”
Madame Regas finally sighed with relief.
“What kind of mad creature…… Excuse me. To commit such an act within the sacred temple!”
As Madame Regas grumbled, Elaina opened her lips as if she had been waiting.
“Have you heard what people are saying about the incident?”
“I came here specifically because of it.”
Madame Regas glanced around, confirmed no one was nearby, then whispered softly.
“Well, there are many rumors, but broadly speaking, they fall into two categories.”
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.”
