Regret With All Your Might (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96
The grand banquet hall.
Though it was still early evening, the hall was already packed with nobles and envoys.
Majestic music echoed among the crowd. The rhythmic drumbeats rolled in like waves, striking even Duke Madelaine. The duke furrowed his brow and massaged the back of his neck.
Each time the drums vibrated, his head throbbed. His nape pulled taut with discomfort. He knew better than anyone that the drums alone weren’t the cause of this unease.
His breathing grew shallow. Just as he turned to step outside for a breath of fresh air, Conrad entered his field of vision. The duke’s eyes turned icy cold.
Despite having blocked him just moments ago in front of the Imperial Palace, Conrad now greeted the envoys as if nothing had happened.
“The one you should blame isn’t that girl.”
Because of Conrad, he’d lost Olivia right before his eyes. When he’d demanded an explanation for such betrayal, Conrad’s reply had been nothing more than that.
Disappointment filled his mouth like bitter words left unspoken. Though he’d never said it aloud, Conrad had always been a son he could proudly entrust with the family’s future.
Yet all Conrad could say was that it wasn’t her fault. Then who was he supposed to blame? For a moment, his head spun dizzily.
He’d never even considered such a thought before. If not her, then who on earth was to blame…!?
Cutting off the dizzying spiral of thoughts, the duke lashed out at Conrad with a sharp remark.
“So, you’re saying we should push your younger sister into the Imperial Family instead of her.”
Conrad couldn’t answer. The duke, gazing at his disappointing son, turned away coldly.
What he’d heard from the Empress’s palace mattered far more to him than his son’s meaningless words.
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.”

The audacity of these imperial siblings. Then again, it’s surprise considering who their parents are.
