Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
As Adeline was led by Cassis’s hand into the marquis’s estate, a maid guided the two of them to the drawing room.
And the moment they stepped inside, their eyes met a woman who had somehow appeared beside Severus.
Adeline turned her gaze toward Cassis.
His eyes were fixed on the woman.
“Cassis.”
He trembled at the sight of her calling his name in a voice thick with tears.
As if he had recognized her as Emilia.
Unconsciously, Cassis’s hand, which had been holding Adeline’s wrist, tightened.
Emilia looked at him with sorrowful eyes—then rushed forward and embraced him.
He stood frozen in place.
“Mother…?”
Even seeing her with his own eyes, he could hardly believe it.
And no wonder—he had been told Emilia perished decades ago in a fire.
Unless she were a ghost, Emilia could not possibly stand before him.
Adeline understood his confusion.
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.”
