When I Let Go of Obsession, I Got Obsessed (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
“I can’t believe it.”
Liz shook her head slowly as she gazed at the man beyond the railing.
Jet-black hair and crimson eyes. Delicate yet somehow bold features. If one simply added a bit of baby fat to the Grand Duke’s sunken cheeks, this would be the exact face.
Truly, they looked far too alike… as long as he kept his mouth shut.
“Um… um… are those people going to… to drag me away?”
The Grand Duke Montaner would never have trembled like that.
Clowin reassured him from beside him.
“Don’t worry. They won’t drag you—they’ll escort you.”
Though the words hardly differed in meaning, Clowin’s naturally pleasant appearance and gentle tone allowed the man to feel at ease. Or rather, his mere presence seemed to bring comfort.
After all, it was Clowin himself who had brought him here.
Hersys had finally revealed the full plan to Liz just last night.
Considering they had to keep both individuals together in the palace annex—dubbed a fortress within the imperial palace—it was probably better he’d told her in advance.
Hersys said he would present this man, Bernard, as proof that the Grand Duke was not of imperial blood.
“A compelling piece of evidence.”
Liz instantly sensed victory upon seeing him.
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.”
