To My Beloved, I Present My Exquisite Nightmare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 65
After the startled people scattered like baby spiders, only Donovan’s sobbing echoed eerily through the silent house. Eustar gripped his shoulder tighter and shook him gently.
“Pull yourself together, Mr. Donovan. I need to ask you something. Have you seen Alice?”
“I—I saw… no, no. That wasn’t my daughter…”
Tears streamed endlessly from Donovan’s eyes.
Eustar forced his face upward and lightly slapped his sunken cheek. The sharp snap finally brought a flicker of reason back into Donovan’s eyes as he glared at Eustar.
Eustar spoke.
“My companion, Miss Laila, was taken by Alice—or rather, by something that took Alice’s form. I saw it head toward Vintoshis. What lies in Vintoshis? Tell me everything you know.”
“Vintoshis…”
Donovan muttered, his eyes clouding with fear.
“It’s a cursed place.”
“I know that much. But I’m asking who cursed it, and why. If you don’t know, tell me who might. Time is of the essence.”
“That… that curse… I only heard about it as a child. No one ever believed it… It’s just an old tale, surely nothing more…”
As Donovan began sobbing again, Eustar lost patience and shouted at him in anger.
“My companion is in danger because of that ‘old tale’! Whether it’s some blasted legend or gargoyle story, just tell me everything you know—now!”
Intimidated by Eustar’s fierce glare, Donovan hiccupped in fright. Dazed and utterly overwhelmed, he finally bowed his head deeply and spoke in a tear-choked voice.
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.”
