This Marriage Must End in Tragedy (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“Well then, shall we go see how many items Miss Elise has taken a liking to?”
They, who had been inside the shop, stepped outside. Elise was still browsing the store’s wares.
“Madam Roma, I’d like to buy these first.”
“Certainly, miss. Go ahead and tell me.”
“This brooch and necklace, the fan, and this scarf as well. They’re in even better condition than new ones. Oh, and can this fountain pen have its nib replaced?”
“Of course.”
“Then I’ll take these three nibs here as well.”
“What a discerning eye! This necklace was once worn by the queen of the Welron Kingdom, and this fan was crafted by Sevion’s chief designer—it’s never even been shown at any party. And this scarf…”
Roma explained the items with a bright smile, swiftly wrapping them up as she spoke, so that by the time she finished, every item was neatly packaged.
Elise handed one of the parcels to Ansi.
“The fountain pen is for you, Ansi.”
“It’s fine…”
“You’re the girl I know who reads and writes the most. I’m claiming it before your husband realizes and gifts you stationery himself.”
“Don’t worry. He wouldn’t notice something like that anyway.”
Though she once immersed herself in printing while assisting Rubelsa, that life now felt distant. If anything, he might consider buying hand cream for her roughened servant’s hands—but never would he think a pen necessary for her.
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.”
