49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
Look at that—just look at how my disciple is speaking. My face flushed hot from the disciple’s blatant mockery.
But my disciple had every right to be angry. After all, weren’t we already in the midst of marriage negotiations?
Yet out of nowhere, his own sister came and claimed she was carrying her fiancé’s child…
Even the Emperor, who knows I’m a woman, takes his anger out on me—but my disciple doesn’t even know I’m a woman, so he must be even angrier.
I tried my hardest to think rationally and suppress my fury. As soon as I felt I’d made some progress, I smiled as gently as possible and said,
“I have absolutely no relationship with Her Highness the 9th Hwang Nyeo, Your Highness. It seems she was merely jesting with you.”
I summoned even my soul to appear as mild-mannered as humanly possible.
Yet my disciple looked down at me with terrifyingly emotionless eyes, wearing only a perfunctory smile at the corners of his lips.
Seeing how truly furious he was made me feel slightly wronged. Honestly—first the Emperor tasks me with guarding his daughter, and now this brat is angry at me over a marriage arrangement pushed by his own father and stepmother!
The Empress wants to marry me off to the 13th Hwang Ja to keep him in check, and the 9th Hwang Nyeo claims she’s pregnant with my child after only meeting me twice. These royals—every last one of them does exactly as they please!
Just as my insides began boiling again, the 13th Hwang Ja finally opened his heavy mouth.
“Our esteemed teacher seems light in both body and heart. Perhaps you wish to hold onto anyone you deem even slightly useful.”
It grew difficult to maintain the expression I’d been forcing. Still, I carefully kept my voice level as I replied,
“I had no idea Your Highness was on such good terms with Her Highness the 9th Hwang Nyeo—you seem to believe every word she says.”
Ah, this is terrible. What good is a level tone when my words come out twisted like sarcasm?
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”

As the boy began reciting clearly, the Empress clapped continuously, smiling war
Poor child. He gets in danger in this place automatically because he is smart 😢
“Why do you ask that?”
Could it be that the trap is to check if she already knows how to swim in this timeline? (Something like the case when she needed to conceal her improved drawing skills)
“Didn’t I already say? Your disciple dislikes noise.”
Could it be that the culprit is 13th, and he intentionally kept Yohwa out of suspicion? Or the culprit is the Empress, but he knows, so is doing it?
