The Terminally-Ill Duke Clings to Me Every Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Akia placed both hands on the wall and looked down at Leah. As his unfathomable gaze reached her, her heart tightened involuntarily.
‘What?’
Trapped within his arms, Leah froze at the sight of the Duke quietly murmuring in a low voice.
What on earth could have happened last night to make him act like this?
“My Lord… I don’t know what happened yesterday, but this is too…”
She shifted slightly out of the Duke’s line of sight.
“You’re too close…”
“So what?”
The Duke gave a faint, mocking smile, as if the notion were absurd. The words “After everything you’ve already done…” rose to Akia’s throat, but he swallowed them back.
But Leah was different.
‘So what? So what? I just want you to move your face away…!’
Just what had occurred last night to cause such a sudden shift in the Duke’s demeanor? Leah could only silently gulp down the words she dared not speak aloud.
As if oblivious to Leah’s fluster, the man’s face gradually drew closer. Just as their lips seemed about to meet—
Overwhelmed by a dizzying rush of sensation, Leah squeezed her eyes shut.
– Thump, thump.
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.”
