“This won’t do for clothing.”
“What about this one?”
“You trying to drown me?”
Liz rejected the clothes Mirabelle had brought one after the other.
But it was understandable. After bringing clothes that would not float and cling to the body, she brought armor!
Mirabelle’s face nearly crumbled into tears.
“What should we do then? This is all we have besides underwear.”
“Give me the underwear then.”
“Cough, cough!”
Mirabelle who had heard this coughed repeatedly.
The thought of her lady entering the water with Captain Willen in her underwear was worse than dying.
On the other hand, Liz didn’t think much of it.
In her previous life, she enjoyed swimming quite a bit and practically lived in the swimming pool. Naturally, she was friendly with swimwear. She even wore a bikini, albeit briefly.
So, underwear was nothing.
Moreover, it wasn’t just covering the chest and vital areas here. A corset that fully covered the chest and a chemise that reached down to the buttocks.
“It can’t be done. Absolutely not.”
But Mirabelle, who knew nothing about it, was adamant.
“What’s the problem with it?”
“It just can’t be done.”
She then rummaged through the wardrobe and pulled out the thickest piece that wouldn’t show through.
“I didn’t want to give you this one.”
Liz inspected the black object handed to her from Mirabelle.
It was a bodyshaping underwear that was integrated from top to bottom. The chest area had what appeared to be waterproof pads attached.
“Why didn’t you give me this sooner? It’s fine.”
“I kept it for an important event later. Sigh, to use it here.”
Unlike the grieving Mirabelle, Liz was satisfied.
Except for the absence of sleeves, it was quite decent underwear. If compared to her previous life’s clothing, maybe a tank top and hot pants.
Well, that alone was an unacceptable exposure by this world’s standards.
Liz quickly undressed and put on the onepiece underwear.
‘Not bad, right?’
After her body had weakened, the fluttering clothes were so cumbersome. Wearing this felt much lighter and more comfortable.
“Shall we go now?”
Mirabelle fixed a towellike gown onto Liz’s arm.
Liz tied the waist tightly and then walked out the door.
(This is a time separator.)
Upon entering the bathroom, no one was there.
“They haven’t come yet?”
Mirabelle said she could not bear to see the embarrassing scene and would come to fetch her when it was nearly over.
Liz told her to do so. That would be best. For her and herself.
But where was Captain Willen, who said he would go ahead and prepare? Did he go to the restroom?
Liz tilted her head, and then, while waiting, sat down in a chair placed in a corner of the bathroom. She didn’t want to lose energy before the water training, knowing it would require more than she thought. A moment later.
Creak [dash].
The sound of the door opening was heard.
It seemed that Captain Willen had arrived. Now it would start.
Liz used the chair’s armrest to rise and then looked back.
Gasp!
Liz couldn’t close her mouth. Where was Captain Willen and why…
“Ke, Kain, why are you here…”
The person who entered the bathroom was none other than Kain.
Liz could not continue her words and looked him up and down.
Kain was dressed similarly to Liz. Similar… in a gown. What’s going on?
Liz stared at Kain with a bewildered face and demanded an explanation.
“Let’s start training.”
No, explain. Wait… what are you going to do?
“Training? Why with you?”
“Do you want to do it alone? The water’s pretty deep.”
“……?”
What was he talking about?
“Where’s Captain Willen?”
“He had urgent business and went back.”
“……”
What’s this? The sudden feeling of being cheated?
Did Captain Willen really have urgent business, or was that the truth?
“Also.”
Kain took a step closer and untied his gown.
The action was slow and sensuous, causing Liz to unknowingly swallow her saliva.
“I found out that guy has some issues.”
“Issues?”
“It was a bit too cheap. Apparently, he evaluates the ladies he’s been responsible for in private. You wouldn’t want to join such an evaluation, would you?”
“……Of course not.”
But when did he research this again?
“Anyway, I will be in charge of your training from now on. I’ve told the madam as well.”
“What did mother say? Didn’t she object?”
“She didn’t object. Rather, she was pleased. She said that if a family member takes care of it, there won’t be any fear of words leaking outside.”
Mother, really. Thinking about it, that man would be safer.
Rather than this dangerously handsome servant disguised as a prince.
Meanwhile, the knot had come undone.
The robe slid smoothly from Kain’s body and fell to the floor.
Then his smooth skin, gentle chest muscles, and firm washboard abs were revealed. The pants that hung casually on his hips and exposed his thigh bones only came down to the middle of his thighs.
Swoosh.
His physique was so manly that her eyes spun, even though she had made up her mind.
As she involuntarily admired his physique, Kain spoke.
“Then you need to take off your clothes too.”
“I… Me too?”
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.”
