To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 040
40.
Rosetta felt the need to sort out her chaotic thoughts into several points.
First. She might possibly like Cardier. She couldn’t be certain, since it was a feeling she’d never experienced before… but still, thinking about someone once every ten seconds couldn’t be something she’d find utterly repulsive.
Second. Even if she did have feelings for Cardier, marriage was a completely different matter. This wasn’t about liking or disliking—it was simply something that must not happen. Rosetta wanted to regain her original body as soon as possible, and she had absolutely no intention of giving up her life as a pirate—the very way she had lived until now.
Third. Regardless of all other reasons, Lea’s body wasn’t entirely hers. She didn’t know when their souls might switch again, and even if they didn’t, she wasn’t sure she could live the rest of her life as Lea.
Living forever as Lady Valdemore, the Duchess of Montrosa… Rosetta briefly imagined that future, then scrunched up her face in disgust. Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
The more she thought about it, the more her feelings toward Cardier seemed different. People say love means enduring anything for your beloved? But what if the things she absolutely couldn’t compromise on were so fundamental? Then perhaps she didn’t love Cardier all that much after all…
“……My lady? My lady?”
“…….”
“Are you listening to me?”
Rosetta barely lifted her head in response to Anna’s persistent nagging.
“……Huh? What did you say to me?”
“I asked whether you’d like to stop by the dressmaker’s. Since you’re already out in the carriage, it might be good to finish the fitting for the coat you ordered last time.”
Rosetta shrugged her shoulders and silently gestured toward the carriage window with her chin. Through the window, six knights riding alongside the carriage were clearly visible. Anna followed Rosetta’s gesture with her eyes, then nodded in understanding.
Well, with that many guards tagging along, where could she possibly go?
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.”

A very interesting story. I’m delighted.
