Marriage with the Younger Brother of the Man Who Betrayed Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
After scrutinizing me closely, Johannes hesitantly opened his mouth.
“Sis… Sister? You seem… different from usual.”
Having returned five whole years into the past, it was no wonder he sensed something off about me.
From what he said, it was clear the ‘sister’ he knew was the immature me from five years ago.
“You used to scold me severely whenever I acted flustered like this…”
“Did I?”
“Yes. Whenever you visited our house without everything prepared perfectly in advance, you’d reprimand me—saying I shouldn’t show any sign of inadequacy…”
“…I suppose I did.”
In the past, I’d been extremely strict with Johannes, who was much younger than me.
Even the slightest carelessness in his behavior during my visits would earn him a scolding for failing to act properly as a nobleman receiving guests.
Perhaps it was my father’s influence.
Father, wanting to mold me—a girl blessed with formidable talent—into a capable knight, raised me with rigid discipline, and I simply accepted it as natural.
I believed that the more you loved someone, the more you had to push them relentlessly toward perfection.
Yet, had that version of me, shaped by such beliefs, ever been truly happy? Absolutely not.
Though I succeeded as a ‘knight’ just as Father wished, ‘Yulia’—the girl behind the title—was never happy.
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.”
Took you so long!! I suspected him when he sneek up on you at the river and finally confirmed my suspicion of him since the Ball!!
There’s a limit to being kind and Yulia, You are not kind but damb!!!
