The Villain Family Opposes Independence (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
The sheer volume of invitations was far too overwhelming to simply zone out. I quickly snapped back to my senses and turned to the butler.
“Butler. Do you happen to know why such an enormous number of invitations have come addressed to me?”
There had to be a clear reason behind this sudden deluge of invitations for someone like me, who had never been particularly noteworthy in high society.
I was certain the butler, well-versed in both internal and external affairs of the estate, would know.
Just as I expected, the butler nodded and calmly explained in an even tone.
“It appears the incident at the Ishtar Temple was printed as gossip column news.”
“The Ishtar Temple…?”
“Yes. The oracle declaring that you, my lady, are the savior destined to rescue the world from ruin.”
Ugh!
Whether I clutched my head in sudden agony from the headache or not, the butler continued his explanation unperturbed.
“His Grace pressured the newspapers to prevent publication, but one third-rate gossip rag slipped past surveillance and broke the story. Now, like mushrooms after rain, every newspaper is running articles about you.”
“Where did this rumor originate?”
“His Grace believes the Ishtar Temple is the most likely source.”
I knew full well we couldn’t control the press forever—but so it had come to this after all.
Only then did I finally understand why this endless flood of invitations had arrived for me.
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.”
