Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 165
“…What sin has this child committed?”
Muttering to herself like that, the middle-aged woman turned toward Seung Hyun again and gave him a tearful smile.
“Study hard. Listen well to your mom.”
The woman turned away, crying. Without even knowing what had happened, Seung Hyun felt deeply sorry for her.
Right afterward, Seung Hyun witnessed his mother, Yeon Hwa, frantically tearing at her own hair and smashing household items. Shocked, Seung Hyun burst into loud sobs.
“Mom!”
A moment later, his father rushed in. Seeing Seung Hyun wailing and Yeon Hwa in complete disarray, he clenched his teeth in anger.
“Seung Joo’s mother did this? What a harsh woman!”
Seung Hyun wanted to speak up. It wasn’t that woman who did it—it was his own mother. Yet, even in his young heart, he sensed it was better not to tell the truth.
He was gradually realizing that his mother, though the pretti.est and kindest person in the world to him, wasn’t actually a good person. And if he wanted to remain her son, he would inevitably have to become a bad person too.
At that moment, Seung Hyun thought:
Even if I end up ordinary-looking, I wish my mom could be kind—just like that woman.

“…”
Recalling that old memory for a brief moment, Seung Hyun quickly returned to the present and spoke to Director Hong.
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.”
