How To Get Revenge On My Sister Who Stole My Husband (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71
“Good work, Emlyn. Now go straight to Duke Haven’s estate. Tell His Grace that he should proceed exactly as I instructed you.”
Emlyn nodded vigorously through his tears, gently nipped a strand of my hair with his beak, and then flew out through the open window.
I let out a quiet, satisfied sigh and leaned back against the bed.
In a few hours,
the Emperor, upon reading the letter claiming the Duke might die soon, would summon Princess Ella, Prince Louis and his consort Princess Meredith, along with the heads of several marquess families. They would then deliberate over which house should inherit the vacant ducal title once the Duke passed away.
‘Princess Consort Meredith will try to elevate her birth family, the Marquis Clayne house, to a dukedom—wearing that smug, self-satisfied expression of hers.’
But that would never happen.
Imagining the stunned faces of Princess Meredith, Marquis Uston, and Danae, I smiled with satisfaction.

The Imperial Palace, Goddess’s Chamber.
The Emperor, her face heavy with grief, sat upon the throne. She looked visibly aged, having aged noticeably within just a few days. Her gaze swept over Prince Louis and Princess Consort Meredith seated to her right, their attendants standing behind them, and five marquises below the dais, all looking up at her respectfully. Finally, her eyes turned to Princess Ella and the empty seat beside her on the left—Duke Haven’s seat. In a sorrowful voice, the Emperor spoke.
“You are all well aware of the news by now… Duke Haven, poor Elliott, is currently hovering between life and death from an unknown illness.”
At those words, Prince Louis and his consort, along with the five marquises, bowed their heads solemnly. The Emperor placed a wrinkled hand over her chest and continued.
“My heart feels as though it’s being torn apart—I cannot bear this pain. First, I lost his mother, Princess Liz, and now… now my child too… Why, O Goddess, do You not take this old life of mine first, but instead claim my young children before me…?”
“Your Majesty, please—such words are unbefitting. I beg you not to speak them.”

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.”
