The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
It was right at that very moment—when I was lost in dreams of striking it rich overnight.
Deputy Commander Mario tossed aside even the quill he’d been holding and came charging toward us.
“Whaaaat?! That kind of joke?! Hahaha! Our commander really knows how to have fun, doesn’t he? Hahaha! Right, Miss Lily?”
Caught off guard by Mario’s demand for amusement, I reflexively nodded.
“Uh, yeah… It’s… it’s funny…”
“Exactly! Isn’t it hilarious? Haha! Even though our commander’s usually so gruff and never says much, he occasionally throws out silly jokes like this! Haha! It’s funny! Truly funny, sir!”
Mario boomed with laughter and draped his arm over Rayan’s shoulder.
Rayan, who had remained expressionless until then, suddenly scowled and glared at Mario.
“Get your hand off.”
Whether Rayan shoved Mario’s arm away or not, Mario didn’t care one bit and cheerfully continued the conversation.
“The job! Right—you were talking about a job! So, what kind of job do you want us to take?”
“This time, I’d like you to do some background investigation—”
“Background investigation? Perfect! Just leave it to our mercenary company. We’ll shake them down thoroughly!”
“Uh… okay.”
In the blink of an eye, the conversation had already shifted entirely to my job request.
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.”

Hmm… I thought they wouldn’t leave her behind, poor Lily.
What? Is it right to make a contract with a sin that has been sealed? Isn’t that dangerous?
Haha, wow, I loved this scene! For a moment I thought she was the original heroine or a villain. Luckily it’s our little Lily.

“T-there’s no way I’d have someone like that!”
It’s funny to see Carl panic, can’t wait for them to be together?
“You—who even are you? What do you do?”
It seems like being a lily puppy has become a part of Carl’s personality.
“…Yes.”
Oh, aku sangat ingin melihat reaksi lainnya saat mengetahuinya😫

Well done, Duchess. Good work. Little Lily deserves to be loved. Servants who disrespected their mistress deserve to be dismissed.
