I'll Be the Queen of the Enemy Country (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 121
“Your Highness, do you know how many branches Pawnshop Kai has across the continent?”
Remembering he’d said he knew a little, Karan awkwardly nodded.
“They even use different names—Pawnshop A, Pawnshop B, Pawnshop C… All different names, yet all branches of Pawnshop Kai. They even have branches in countries that don’t trade with Bedroka.”
“Is that so? I didn’t realize it went that far…”
Unable to finish saying he hadn’t known, Karan quickly took a sip of his drink. Elise, unperturbed by his trailing off, continued.
“This medicine is actually easy to replicate if you know the raw ingredients. That’s why we need to capture the market faster than anyone else.”
That was what Leber had said after creating the medicine.
“The formula is too simple. That’s why it was so hard for me to develop a more refined version.”
He’d overcomplicated things—after all, it was a medicine that made hair grow back.
“Ordinary people might struggle to figure out the formula, but mages will uncover it quickly. Can it really become a viable product?”
Leber’s concern was valid.
If mages start selling cheap copies, they’d have to lower their own prices too.
They might even have to abandon the business before recouping their investment.
It would be hard to compete on quality—the medicine was already perfected.
When competing with identical quality, there’s only one way to win: seize the market first. They had to imprint in people’s minds that theirs was the original.
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.”

When Elise left to fetch Wolfs's food, Karan demanded an explanation from Ilaria
I can’t get over her naming the wolf “Wolfs,” it seems strange every time I read it.
"Bora! Dori! Dobi! Nana! Boo!"
Is that a person’s name? It sounds like a fish’s name to me.
Iris was certain of victory. One spell from her would be enough to finish someon
“”She was an expert in offensive magic.” This is repeated so often in history that I’m starting to doubt it.
