Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 40
“On the first day aboard the ship, she didn’t come to the dining hall, so I went down to her cabin and found her crying.”
“Crying? Lady Cordelia? Why?”
“She said she was homesick. Does that even make sense? She’s the one who tore up her father’s letter to shreds, claiming it was full of baseless accusations.”
“That does seem odd. I never thought Lady Cordelia was the type to cry over missing home.”
“Exactly. Something must be going on, but she absolutely refuses to talk about it.”
“For now, please don’t push her too hard. Be kind to her. Once her heart softens, Lady Cordelia will surely tell you why.”
“Do I really have to cater to my own student’s moods?”
Leonard grumbled irritably, but from the next day onward, his attitude toward Cordelia became noticeably gentler.
That day, too, Cordelia handed in what was practically a blank sheet as her homework, yet Leonard let it pass without a word.
“Never mind that—let’s move on to the next lesson. We’re also not far from Diloana’s territory now.”
“Are we already there?”
“Yes. At this pace, we’ll arrive in a day or two.”
At those words, Cordelia’s expression visibly darkened. The paper in her hand crumpled with a rustling sound.
“Already? Is it already over?”
“What do you mean, ‘already’? It’s been nearly a month since we left the Abrams estate.”
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.”
