Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 65
“Who are you?”
Casa asked, placing her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist.
Unfazed by the silent threat that her neck could be severed in an instant depending on his answer, the man bowed his head with a smile and replied,
“I will stand right here without moving an inch. Please just deliver a message to Her Highness.”
“…”
“Would it reassure you more if I stood here with both hands raised?”
“What business do you have?”
“It must be delivered only to Her Highness Alicia. I understand if this means my head must roll—it cannot be helped.”
Casa glared at the man, who kept both hands raised to signal he would offer no resistance, and briefly pondered how to handle this situation.
According to protocol, she should arrest and interrogate him—but the problem was that this location was far too public.
The princess’s current journey was top secret.
The nobles in the capital believed she remained secluded within the imperial palace and did not attend any public events.
They had even leveraged widespread rumors to conceal this outing—it was absolutely unthinkable to stir up trouble here and jeopardize everything.
Perhaps sensing hesitation in Casa’s eyes,
the man took an exaggerated step backward with a theatrical grin.
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.”
