Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“A trial is being held? Is that really true?”
Adeline asked, looking at Becky, who had whispered into her ear and then taken a step back.
“Yes, my lady. They say it’s tomorrow—immediately. It’s an open trial, and all central nobles, their ladies and heirs alike, may attend.”
At Becky’s words, Adeline’s face flushed with bewilderment.
A trial was being held—and a public one attended by every noble—but not a single word had reached Adeline.
Adeline recalled her days at the marquisate.
“I’m sorry, my lady. I informed His Lordship earlier, but he said the meetings show no sign of ending, so he couldn’t return. Duke Torpeo is in the same situation.”
“Did you clearly tell him that I was looking for him?”
“Yes. I did tell him, yet he gave no concrete reply.”
At first, she assumed both men were simply too busy.
Cassis, now the Empire’s sole legitimate heir, must be fighting battles day and night.
That was why he’d sent her back temporarily to her parental home—the House of Credion—because he had no time to spare for her.
Surely he’d contact her today.
When that day passed, she thought, perhaps tomorrow.
But as one day turned into two, then stretched into a week,
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.”

Sometimes time is truly the only cure. It took Cassis time. I cannot imagine the immense guilt she feels knowing everything.
