Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 90
“It seems I had surgery when I was little. The doctor took a look and said it was probably an appendectomy, but because I have keloid-prone skin, the scar turned out really big.”
Though Chris said it casually, the stylist looked deeply regretful.
“These days, they can do it without leaving any scars at all—good grief, to let something like this happen to an idol’s body…”
After taking his measurements, Chris headed to the practice room.
There had been conflict over who would take the main vocalist position, and last time it nearly escalated into a fistfight. In the end, the vocal trainer suggested they bring both Chris and Choi Won Ha in for evaluation and decide today.
To be honest, he was confident. He knew exactly how good—or rather, how limited—Choi Won Ha’s singing ability was. There was simply no way he could lose, even if he wanted to. His only worry was the editing. After getting hit hard once by that devilish editing, it was difficult to shake off the lingering anxiety.
Editing was less a technical skill and more an art form. They’d take a grimace you made in a completely unrelated situation, splice it into another scene as if it were your reaction, cut out all context, and broadcast only the most sensitive snippets. With tricks like that, they could effortlessly turn a completely normal person into the world’s biggest jerk.
Even though he’d clearly earned the main vocalist spot based on skill alone, he was afraid the broadcast would make it look as if he’d shoved out the original stone to wedge himself in—as if he’d forcefully stolen someone else’s rightful place.
After all, his rival was none other than Choi Won Ha, who clearly enjoyed the production crew’s favor. Chris didn’t know why they were so openly pushing him, but every trainee trembled in fear before him.
“It’s fine. I have fans too.”
Chris calmed himself with that thought.
Although he was stuck in the dorm with limited contact with the outside world and blocked from the internet, he could still roughly sense the shifting atmosphere. Thanks to the revival round becoming such a major topic, his own popularity had grown significantly compared to before.
True, his fan numbers might still be small compared to Choi Won Ha, who passed the second round polling in 14th place—but still, he’d made it this far thanks to his fans’ support. And whenever he thought of his fans, Seon Ah always came to mind first.
[Please work hard and debut for sure. That’s all I ever wish for.]
Just recalling those words gave him strength he didn’t know he had.
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.”
