I Will Live for Your Death (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 46
From morning, declarations from nobles poured into the Imperial Palace like rain.
Looking at the neat stacks of their grievance-laden papers piled on his desk, Claudius sighed wearily.
‘Don’t they ever get tired of this? Honestly.’
He didn’t even need to open them to know their contents.
There was only one reason they’d all united in opinion: the matter of Ilyd’s deposition. Ever since Celina had become Empress Consort, such petitions arrived nearly once a week.
Claudius had dismissed all their opinions under the pretext that Ilyd, left alone, lacked the power to act.

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.”
