My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
“The Birth of Cinderella—Chloe Frihid, the Emperor Frihid’s Lover”
“‘Chloe Frihid’—who is she?”
The hand flipping through the newspaper abruptly stopped. Veins bulged over skin flushed with anger.
“Damn it!”
His own story, which had recently dominated the papers, had vanished completely, replaced instead by some woman’s Cinderella tale plastered all over.
“A few months of silence, I thought…”
Kalis clicked his tongue in annoyance. His expression clearly showed his displeasure.
He’d assumed Chloe, having grasped the situation, had fled to some rural village in shock—but never in his wildest dreams did he imagine she’d secure such powerful backing.
Should he have ruined that pretty face of hers? He’d left her untouched, both pleasant to look at and useful for display—but she’d gone and lured another man back anyway.
“I went to find a distributor, and she ends up as some insignificant woman’s bridesmaid.”
Kalis muttered, recalling the Emperor’s birthday banquet held in the Empire a few days prior.
All attention had been fixated on that woman, making it difficult to secure a distributor. Had Rowen not stepped in to arrange meetings, the situation would have been hopeless.
“…Indeed. I never expected the princess to reappear.”
Helena, who had been muttering to herself, picked up the newspaper sprawled on the floor. The bolded headline forced its way into her eyes, even though she didn’t want to read it.
Cinderella.
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.”
Wow, she really has no clue what personal accountability is. Nor does she have any self-awareness.
Lol, what a ridiculously mysterious way of stating when the appointment time is. Although, I did get the impression the guy is a sorcerer or magician of some sort. Did he implant those thoughts into Helena’s mind during the trial?
It seems to me that Kalis was not as attached to Helena as I had previously thought. He behaved as if utterly devoted to her initially. Did he even really mourn her death? He tossed her and their unborn child aside quite cruelly. I was surprised he behaved that way towards their child and Helena considering all he sacrificed to keep Helena in his life and at the estate. Perhaps he did not consider what he lost as a sacrifice but as things that were stolen from him by Chloe and now, the emperor. Helena too did not comprehend personal accountability nor being responsible for one’s own actions. Those two shared quite a few undesirable traits. The most surprising one being how entitled they behaved considering their stations.
