Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 146
In the competition for empress, Lady Plache, daughter of the Count of Plache, had secured a somewhat advantageous position.
As the Southern Sage, she ranked second only to the Emperor in ceremonial precedence, so she was always close to him. If only there had been an empress or other Sages present to create some distance—but unfortunately, both the Eastern and Western Sages were absent from this imperial-sponsored horse race.
Thus, the Emperor and the Southern Sage had no choice but to move together, and all the Eastern nobles were fiercely pondering how to overcome this advantage.
But overcoming it was nearly impossible. How could anyone block the easy, intimate conversations born of their proximity, or the glances and smiles exchanged between them?
Above all, as Inspector Jane Telott had said, Lady Plache was a stunning beauty.
“Of course, I don’t know His Majesty’s preference, but if you ask me, aren’t Lady Svenya, daughter of the Marquis of Svenya, and Princess Alanka also beauties?”
“Well, Princess Negret falls a bit short.”
Amidst these teasing exchanges, Jane sat pressed close to her aunt and laid out her own reasoning.
“So you think His Majesty has already made up his mind? But marriage and romance are different things, Jane.”
“That’s the logic of the nobles you and I both despise. Hasn’t His Majesty always acted contrary to what the nobles expect?”
Lady Godier smiled faintly.
Today, Lady Plache—the Count’s daughter and the Southern Sage—wore a wide-brimmed hat and an outdoor dress, befitting a young lady attending her first imperial horse race.
Unlike Lady Svenya, who wore a feather-adorned hat shaped like a crown and a figure-hugging mermaid-style gown, she chose a fresh, flared dress appropriate for a novice, fastened with a pearl brooch.
Honestly, compared to Princess Alanka or Lady Svenya, she wasn’t yet skilled at handling attention as a first-time attendee—but Lady Plache looked utterly delighted. A bright smile always draws eyes, wherever it appears.
“And if His Majesty intended to marry an Eastern lady, he would have done so long ago. Why leave things so noisy now?”

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.”
