Captured into the Bedroom of the Enemy Emperor (1 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 46
“Grandpa Chen, you know well—he never uses poisons that take lives. They say Argentum doesn’t even react to it.”
“Still, a bride dozing off during her own wedding banquet? Doesn’t that seem a bit harsh?”
“The young lady’s ultimate goal is to ruin the wedding night. But you, sister—you seem fond of Princess Patricia?”
“She’s pure and kind. What about you, my lady? Aren’t you rather short-tempered?”
“Sister, even when I first learned sewing in the dressmaking room and the seniors stabbed my hand with needles just to pick on me, I never once shed a tear. But you, my lady…”
“I’m sorry. I understand—it’s your temper and your need to vent.”
“She often hits with a fan, and sometimes even pours scalding tea over people. Did she do that to you too? Was she holding back all this time because of me and Mother?”
“Sister… aren’t we about to get dragged into something terrifying?”
In the end, the sisters clung to each other and wept inside the dark carriage.

At the Helios Hall banquet, long side tables stretched in neat rows. The central area was kept entirely clear for dancing.
It was spacious enough for hundreds to dance simultaneously—Polonaise, Minuet, Waltz, and Mazurka.
Dozens of triple-tiered chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Their soft, golden glow gracefully highlighted the shimmering faces and dresses of the ladies.
Before entering the banquet hall, Carolina had instructed her handmaiden to fix her tousled hair with a floral crown and apply perfume to her nape. The faint fragrance from the gilded crown alone felt insufficient.
Thus, arriving slightly later than others, she scanned the hall to locate Patrick’s seat first. Fortunately, the quick-witted Isabella had already placed Carolina’s fan on the seat opposite Patrick.
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.”
Oh! Harcen made a surf board and have Patricia surfing at the sea? That’s so nice of him! If I were her, I too would be thrilled as I riding the waves.
Could it be the grave with the red hibiscus is the late Empress’ (a.k.a Patricia and Patrick’s mom) grave? Talk about cutting onion.
Oh Dear. This must be before Patricia have her memory regressed from the poison’s side effect on the summary and only recognized Harchen from their academy days. This is so awful.
