Wishing for Salvation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
Even when he risked his life crossing a road full of speeding cars, or when he jumped in front of threats directed at me, I always wondered why he went to such lengths—though I figured it might be because of the severe trauma from losing Han Seo Yoon in a traffic accident.
Seeing those large hands trembling uncontrollably, my throat tightened inexplicably, and I couldn’t bring myself to firmly draw a line.
I’d given in to Tae Kang Hyun in a way that felt strangely unusual.
His persistent, following gaze—I let it be. Him suddenly appearing out of nowhere—I let it be.
The way he hurriedly passed side dishes during meals, his gentle consideration that clashed with his cold expression—I let it all be.
I even went to great lengths to deny any deeper meaning behind that brief kiss in the hotel room.
Because I knew just how desperately he missed his late lover—so much it brought tears even to those watching.
Yet, amidst countless “let it bes,” I’d somehow let Kang Hyun into my heart, and that feeling grew larger every day.
My heart blatantly ignored my mind’s warning that this relationship was wrong, choosing instead to just keep beating for now.
Amid everything going against my will, I also resented Kang Hyun for constantly making me misread his intentions.
“He looks exactly like Han Seo Yoon. So I’m curious—do you see me as a woman because of that?”
Though I felt it was an overly bold question, once I’d started, I couldn’t stop.
I knew I couldn’t treat Seo Yoon as completely separate from myself, yet if his answer contained even a trace of Seo Ji An’s presence, I thought I might find the courage to move forward.
“No.”
Kang Hyun murmured briefly, staring at the white hand clutching his arm.
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.”
