Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 171
The Emperor’s bedchamber—elegant and austere.
A taut tension pierced the air.
The Empress stared at the Emperor without even blinking.
“Your Majesty. I have heard a rather absurd rumor. That Duke Madelaine has demanded a noble trial. And that those to be judged are Duke Elkin, myself, and the Princess… what a ridiculous story.”
She should have refused the audience.
Yet, unlike her usual composure, she had barged in and demanded answers.
The Emperor swallowed dryly before replying,
“…At tomorrow’s trial, conduct yourself as befits the Empress.”
So the rumor was true.
The Emperor had expected her to cry—or at least rage.
He was prepared to tolerate that much.
But instead, the Empress let out a clear, ringing laugh.
As if she had expected this all along.
Her eyes curved in amusement, and her bright smile unsettled him.
“Empress! What kind of attitude is this?! Even if you are shaken—!”
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.”

“I knew that whenever misfortune befell the Imperial Princess, Your Majesty pinn
Is it difficult for the Duke to say “my daughter” instead of “that girl”. ( •̀ – •́ )
Or perhaps it was the unmistakable relief hidden beneath his flushed, angry face
The emperor abandoned his wife and daughter, and now it remains for him to abandon the crown prince, then the empire will end.
“Was it truly you who tried to kill the Crown Prince?! Why, in heaven’s name?!”
What? The Empress would now be held accountable for the attempted murder of the Crown Prince. The nobles would believe this, as they suspected that she had tried to kill the Emperor’s grandson.

I enjoyed the ride my only criticism is that in my opinion the ending kinda dragged on for a tad bit longer than it needed to be.
