Thrilled by Madness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
Breakfast was laid out with soft, easy-to-eat food.
“Um… if I eat this, can I go home?”
“No.”
“Are you planning to keep me locked up here and raise me like livestock?”
“I’m taming you—a stubborn, disobedient child.”
“…….”
Yesterday, he’d treated her like a criminal; today, he was treating her like a child.
Still, being no longer considered a criminal was something to be grateful for. Sensing his mood had improved, So Yeon ate her meal diligently without another word.
Last night, Seo Jun had briefly gone out. When he left the house without saying anything, So Yeon had even considered running off to Dogok-dong. But leaving now, with everything unresolved, would only further enrage him.
Deep in thought about this, So Yeon eventually surrendered to overwhelming drowsiness and burrowed into the bed covers. However, feeling uneasy about continuing to use Seo Jun’s master bedroom, she instead slept in the adjacent room.
Just past midnight, Seo Jun entered the guest room still dressed in his suit and, upon confirming So Yeon was asleep, let out a relieved sigh before turning around. Later, after changing into sleepwear, he returned and lay down beside her.
That was when it began. So Yeon, acutely aware of her own racing heartbeat, slowly opened her eyes and gazed endlessly at Seo Jun. Wondering whether his sleeping face or his handsomeness resembled Hyun Woo’s, she stared so intently that she lost track of time—until she, too, eventually drifted off to sleep.
Thus morning arrived, and when Seo Jun and So Yeon opened their eyes together in the same bed, the previously tense, icy atmosphere had softened considerably.
Though they remained silent, Seo Jun finished breakfast in a relatively pleasant mood and instructed the chauffeur who had brought the car to leave for the day.
This moment had become unavoidable for both of them.
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.”
