But even if it’s a trap, I couldn’t avoid this situation. It was not someone else, but Yulnysia who was involved.
‘Yul…’
My friend Yul. We speculated on what we would do together once the war ended while chewing on radishes.
‘How on earth did you end up living for over 100 years? You were never the type to dream of immortality.’
On the contrary, Yul had bragged that once the war was over, he would wipe out everything related to magic. Mana is annoying or whatever.
‘But still, he’s alive.’
I wasn’t sure about the situation, but I was convinced it wouldn’t be good.
‘If so, I’m the only one who can save Yul.’
To do that, I had to meet Yulnysia.
And at this moment, the only person I was caught up with was Hadel.
‘Evelyn seems to want me to follow alone…’
Evelyn said this to persuade me. The rare occurrence of flame attributes disappearing and the appearance of ice monsters. This happened after my death due to research.
Is there anyone more closely related to this situation than Hadel?
‘Let’s not hide anything from Hadel.’
So, I went back to the room and asked Hadel to come with me. Hadel, without knowing what was going on, readily nodded.
“I’ll tell you what’s going on later.”
“Yeah.”
As we decided to spend our lives together, I no longer had thoughts of hiding anything from him. Especially if it affected reality.
So, in the end, the journey to meet Yulnysia involved Hadel, me, and Evelyn setting out together.
“His Excellency seems to trust me very much. Following without any guards.”
Honestly, it was unexpected for me as well. I didn’t expect Evelyn to come out alone like this.
‘But it doesn’t seem like a trap.’
Then, is the purpose to let me meet Yulnysia for real?
While I was investigating Evelyn’s truth, Hadel nodded sincerely.
“It’s much better for something to happen to Marian where I don’t know than anywhere else. Thanks for telling me, Marian.”
“….”
With Hadel’s greeting, I felt awkward in a different way. I had decided to tell him everything honestly, but this situation was still uncomfortable.
‘I haven’t told Hadel anything about my past.’
To be precise, I thought I would live completely apart from the past. I hadn’t imagined facing the past again so suddenly.
‘First, I need to determine if he’s older or younger than me.’
But how should I count age in this case?
While having irrelevant thoughts, we walked into the deep mountains away from the castle.
It was already an ambitious night. The sound of the wind shaking the trees was eerie.
‘Why would they stay in such a remote place?’
Could it be a trap to separate Hadel and me from the castle?
Doubting for a moment, I soon shook my head. If they wanted to harm us, there was no need to separate us. The castle was full of Evelyn’s subordinates.
‘Come to think of it, when the Bird Prince mentioned Yulnysia, he said he couldn’t come this way.’
What could be the reason?
As I walked a bit more, a tent was set up in the secluded mountains where no one seemed to be around.
The tent had been moved frequently, evident from the trampled grass beneath. Evelyn stopped in front of it.
“His Excellency is inside here.”
It was almost indistinguishable from the path we had made, ascending the mountain. I furrowed my brows and asked Evelyn.
“Why live so far away from places where people dwell? It must be inconvenient even for Yul.”
“Now, you’ve become a figure who can’t appear in front of others.”
“What?”
Evelyn’s answer was quite ominous, but she only responded with a mysterious smile, providing no further explanation. With a wary expression, I shifted my steps inward.
‘It’s dark.’
Just like outside, there was not a single light inside. In the pitch-black darkness, I called out to Yulnysia.
“Yulnysia?”
…
No response. There was no sign of presence.
Is it really right for him to be here?
What does it mean to become a figure who can’t appear in front of others?
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.”
