The Terminally-Ill Princess Holds the Leash of the Mad Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 067
As soon as Dietrich disappeared from view, Ileon approached Celia and spoke to her.
“Lady Celia.”
Celia rolled her eyes and looked at Ileon.
Regardless of how much she wanted to kill Ileon right then and there, he was still the Emperor.
If she lost control of her emotions in front of so many watching eyes, everything could vanish in an instant.
Exercising superhuman patience, Celia replied to Ileon.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Why aren’t you participating in the hunting competition? I sent you an invitation—why is Duke Calypso taking your place?”
She had been barred from participating, and Dietrich had volunteered in her stead.
What Ileon was saying now was exactly what she had hoped for.
Celia responded in a dry tone.
“As Your Majesty wishes, I will participate even now.”
“No. There’s no need for that.”
Ileon’s eyes curved slightly as he casually lifted Celia’s chin with one hand.
His deep blue eyes stared intently into hers, as if verifying the emotions within.
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.”

Chapter 74 is missing.
I feel like I missed important information. Was it the cathedral or hall of ministers that burned or both?
Did Arthur take over the parrot’s body so he could always be close to Celia? Maybe as a type of fail safe if Dietrich killed him?
Nice ending, with the glimpse of the future. I’m really expecting a lot from about extra stories. I just wonder is there connection with “Political Marriage with a Friendly Enemy”? Thank you about the translation.
