The White Stoat Princess (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 40
[You probably need plenty of time to think as well. Rest.]
Saying that, Hadel left the room instead of forcing an answer from me. Left alone in his office without warning, I quickly dashed out of there.
‘No, what am I supposed to do alone in an office?’
A study would be one thing. But the office is a place even Hadel’s subordinates come and go freely, isn’t it? If I just sprawled around and ran into them, the embarrassment would all be mine.
Since Hadel had thoroughly drilled into me how dangerous it was to wander around in just a shirt, when I stepped out of the office I wrapped one of his thinner cloaks around myself several times and tied it at the waist with a cord. I had tried to make something like the chitons that men and women of all ages wore in ancient times, and it actually looked decent.
‘Ah, this is exactly why I keep saying it’s a hundred times easier to live as a weasel.’
Why does simply stepping outside have to require so much effort?
‘This is all because of Hadel.’
Honestly, it wasn’t Hadel’s fault, but I decided to blame him anyway. Today, even if a star fell from the sky, it would be Hadel’s fault.
I was stomping down the hallway with loud thuds when it happened. The maids who had been mopping the corridor raised their heads like meerkats at the sound of my footsteps and stared at me.
‘Ack! What is this!’
They were the same young maids who always squealed about how cute I was.
‘My first meeting with them as a human, and it’s while wearing a hastily made chiton and stomping around like a gorilla!’
I never even planned to appear before them in human form to begin with—what kind of disgrace is this!
While I stood there pale, lips trembling, they spoke first in cautious tones.
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.”
