The Villainess' Joyful Married Life (59 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
Time flowed swiftly.
It had been nearly three months since Yuri underwent questioning at the Blue Hall.
Thick, dark sweat began to bead on Eshika’s skin as she practiced her breathing and qi circulation.
A faint popping sound started emanating from her bones.
Her body was transforming into a form more suited to cultivating martial arts.
Yet, this change did not mean she was becoming broad-shouldered or muscular like a man.
Though her figure had never been particularly rugged, the internal shifts of her bones refined her body’s lines into something even more graceful.
Ordinarily, such bodily transformation—known as Hwan Goltal Tae—only occurred upon reaching the Hwa Gyeong or Geuk Ma realms, equivalent here to the rank of Sword Master.
Yet Eshika, who had not yet attained such a level, had used her inner energy to deliberately reshape her qi pathways and physical structure.
She shifted from her former state—ill-suited for cultivation—to one more receptive to internal energy.
Once the process concluded, she circulated her inner energy thoroughly to seal the changes.
‘I’ve regained roughly a third of my inner energy by now.’
Eshika smiled contentedly at her reflection in the mirror.
Her skin appeared as smooth as a young girl’s, and her body’s curves had grown even more elegant.
She felt she could move with greater swiftness.
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.”

It’s a little late to ask but is there a power system here cause it’s confusing if only internal energy exists but not magic

“You betrayed your friend, stole her jewels, and now you fawn over the Grand Lad
Why did they become friends to begin with? It’s not like yuri knew eshika would marry him
