Tiendavis - For Perfect Salvation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Sion asked with quietly simmering eyes.
“What would you like to do to him?”
“I’d like to tie him up tight and throw him off the continent.”
Ivy answered without hesitation.
Yet, having said that, she briefly covered her own mouth with her hand and hastily added before Sion could take her words too seriously,
“But I can’t throw him out just yet. Duke Montra is someone I need.”
Ivy’s voice sounded defiant as she spoke. So Sion frowned and stared at her.
Sion wore an expression of deep displeasure.
Though anyone might have flinched at such coldness, Ivy instead nodded vigorously as if she understood everything perfectly.
“Of course, the Duke’s behavior isn’t exactly pleasant. But he’s helpful to me in many ways, so I let it slide even when his jokes go too far.”
As she spoke, Ivy looked utterly unscathed—as if she’d already brushed off the Duke’s earlier antics, dismissing them as nothing more than excessive jesting.
But Sion didn’t believe her composure and eyed her suspiciously.
He didn’t expect Ivy to act like a tragic heroine grieving over what had just happened or to respond as aggressively as his own deputy commander would.
Everyone had their own way of reacting, so even if Ivy’s response seemed unusual, he had no intention of rejecting it outright.
Still, Sion found her artificially cheerful expression deeply unsettling.
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.”
