She still spoke to me with a clear and composed expression.

“My actions might seem unpleasant, but I was simply saddened recently because Yezar has been distancing himself from both me and Camileo for no apparent reason. That’s why I tried to meet with you—to understand the cause.”

“After marriage, perhaps he felt the need to create some distance. You know how rumors tend to arise when men and women are too close.”

At this, Bertisha covered her mouth and laughed.

“Well, don’t rumors tend to spread even when it’s not about men and women?”

Did Bertisha know about the rumors that once circulated between Yezar and Camileo? But if she did, why wouldn’t she clarify them properly instead of letting them linger?

Even if Camileo didn’t mind, Yezar had continued to bear the false accusation of being a homosexual because of those rumors.

“Besides, in that case, there would be no reason to push Camileo away as well. He didn’t attend the wedding ceremony either. If he skips this banquet too, Camileo might feel hurt.”

Camileo—wasn’t that the name of the male lead in the original novel who had caused me to choose a reclusive life?

Of course, the original story had already ended, and I hadn’t become entangled in a negative fate with Bertisha, so it should be fine. Yet instinctively, my body resisted the idea.

“This is a peaceful approach. If he keeps avoiding us, it’ll become inconvenient even for official duties, and I could summon him to the palace by imperial decree. So please, Duchess, kindly speak to him. Help us clear up this misunderstanding so we can become close again. I’m asking you.”

Bertisha stepped closer, gently brushed back my loose strands of hair, and tilted her head slightly.

Her tone was friendly, but upon closer examination, this wasn’t a request—it was a command. Yezar wasn’t ready to face Bertisha yet. Even receiving letters from her was already difficult for him.

If he had to face her in person and suffer again, those who had seen Yezar struggle would undoubtedly suffer alongside him. I didn’t want that.

“Your Majesty the Empress hasn’t once asked how the Duke has been all this time. Usually, if you were close, wouldn’t that be the first thing you’d wonder about?”

Top Celebrity Younger Brother Bears Her Child (Female-dominant)

One-line summary: Forced to live stream romance with a top celebrity in a female-dominant world.

Yan Jin transmigrated into a brothel, with a fellow transmigrated junior beside her.

Hearing the obscene words coming from outside, the unfortunate junior covered his ears tightly, his cheeks flushed red, and whispered to comfort her, “Don’t worry, I will definitely help you escape.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

※※※

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.

Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.

Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.

Three days later, neither of them had woken up.

Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

※※※

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.

Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”

Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”

Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”

At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.

[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]

①Male pregnancy (highlighted)

The female lead is five years older than the male lead, and the male lead is already an adult when he appears.
