To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 140
A great commotion stirred within the banquet hall.
At the unexpected name, everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment as they stared at the door. Even the orchestra, whose duty it was to play at such moments, stood with mouths agape, waiting for the door to open.
The Duke of the North had come to the party.
This news was even more astonishing than the arrival of the Emperor or Empress.
Though the Duke of the North often visited the empire, he rarely attended parties. The celebration for the Crown Prince’s wedding had been nearly his first and last appearance.
Some present already knew the Duke had come to the empire, yet no one had expected to actually see him—after all, no matter how many times he was invited or begged, the Duke of the North never showed himself.
As everyone held their breath, the doors swung open from both sides.
The moment Cyrus appeared, exclamations of “Ah!” echoed from all around.
Dressed in a black uniform embroidered with red, Cyrus truly resembled a god of night and moonlight.
His silver hair shimmered brilliantly against his dark attire, and beneath his straight forehead lay deep, intense crimson eyes. His features were flawlessly chiseled, his stature tall and commanding, his shoulders astonishingly broad.
No one could tear their eyes away from Cyrus as he strode in with an arrogant, confident gait.
“The Duke of the North. I never thought you’d actually come.”
Only when Jeor stepped forward to greet Cyrus did the crowd snap out of their daze, and the music, which had stopped, began to flow once more.
“I received an invitation from the Duke of Donghou, so of course I had to come. Aren’t we close neighbors?”
No one noticed the subtle tension passing between Jeor and Cyrus. They merely thought the sight of two tall, handsome men facing each other looked like a magnificent painting.
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.”
