To You, So Noble and Vulgar (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 213
Dinner was, as always, suffocating.
Trying not to show how stifled she felt, Charlotte slowly moved her fork.
Back when they lived in the imperial palace, meals were served on a table so long they could barely see each other’s faces, laden with more food than anyone could possibly eat.
But now, the Blenwitt family’s dining table was meant for eight—and even then, there wasn’t enough food to fill it properly.
Roast duck, meat, soup with potatoes, and a salad with very few kinds of vegetables.
Charlotte had grown accustomed to such modest meals. But her mother, Ithis, still looked gloomy whenever she saw the table, muttering the names of dishes she used to eat in the palace and sighing that she missed them.
David and his wife, Yuria, undoubtedly shared Ithis’s sentiments, even if they never voiced them aloud. They ate only because they had to fill their stomachs, their expressions clearly showing their reluctance.
‘Everyone should have gotten used to this by now…’
Charlotte sometimes felt like screaming.
Why couldn’t everyone just get used to this life? Why couldn’t they accept it? It had already been two years! After two whole years, shouldn’t they be used to it by now? Couldn’t they at least stop wearing those miserable faces at the dinner table?
If they were going to keep weeping over past glory like this, why not at least try to reclaim it? Why dwell so mournfully on those times without making any effort at all?
But instead of shouting, Charlotte simply chewed and swallowed some slightly soggy vegetables.
A viscount’s household with no territory had no source of income aside from the small monthly stipend from the palace for maintaining their dignity. The Blenwitt family, once imperial royalty and now merely viscounts of the Stella Kingdom, was no exception.
Thus, lower nobles had to find ways to support themselves beyond their salaries—usually by tightening their belts through austerity or pooling their pay to start a business.
‘We should probably do something ourselves now…’
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.”
