There Is No Paradise Where I Ran Away To (14 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 115
Early in the morning, Edwin woke and quietly studied Vivian’s face as she slept beside him. With only slight exaggeration, they had spent every night together now, so much so that he knew all of Vivian’s sleeping habits by heart.
Just before falling asleep, Vivian had a habit of curling her toes—wiggling them slightly, then squeezing them tightly once before slowly releasing the tension and drifting off. Her body, deep in slumber, felt warmer than usual, yet disappointingly, she rarely talked in her sleep.
Except for that one time when she’d murmured “Father” in her dreams.
Edwin gently traced Vivian’s lips—she was sleeping so deeply she wouldn’t even notice if he carried her away. He had no intention of waking her; he simply found her naturally protruding lips adorable while she slept.
By the time Vivian began to stir awake, she shifted her body. She turned her back to him now, breathing deliberately. Then, slowly and sleepily, she rolled over to check first whether Edwin was already awake.
“…You’re up? When did you wake up?”
Her voice, thick with sleep, and the way she rubbed her eyes—every detail felt intimately familiar. For a fleeting moment, he thought he might see this every morning for the rest of his life. That didn’t seem like such a bad prospect—certainly no worse than killing Vivian.
Edwin kissed Vivian’s forehead, then her slightly swollen lips.
“I’ve been awake since a while ago.”
“Then why didn’t you wake me?”
“What for?”
Still drowsy, Vivian groaned and squeezed her eyes shut again. Edwin pulled her close and gently patted her rounded back. Softly, steadily, Vivian’s breath warmed Edwin’s chest—a ticklish, warm breeze that seemed to infuse her with life.
“Edwin.”
“Hmm?”
In the lazy, dusky morning, their voices—still soaked in sleep—echoed softly through the bedroom.
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.”
