Seduced the Doomed Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 121
It was fine that they’d paid a fortune just to get into this high-class salon, but to hear the nobles’ unfiltered gossip, they had to sneak into a discreet spot.
So they chose the powder room.
In the cramped space, Bern and Diana were pressed tightly together; whether or not Rodric’s ancestor rambled on, peace reigned beyond the curtain.
Noble young ladies, oblivious to their presence, chatted loudly while maids touched up their makeup.
“The birthday banquet is coming soon—seems like a lot of country bumpkins have come up to the capital, doesn’t it?”
“Right? Did you see those provincial faces? Their cheeks were bright red from the cold, like they’d been left out in the frost too long. And their dresses—so dreadfully unsophisticated.”
“Still, that young lady introduced by Countess Simild seemed quite decent, didn’t she?”
When one mentioned the Countess, all the others nodded in agreement, as if bound by some unspoken rule.
Diana, who’d been listening silently, narrowed her eyes sharply.
“Wasn’t she introduced as the child of the Countess’s cousin’s sister-in-law? From what I heard, her family only holds a viscountcy.”
“Oh dear, you truly don’t know yet, miss? It’s Countess Simild herself backing her! With that connection, the girl’s own title doesn’t matter at all.”
The ladies went on at length about how formidable Countess Simild was, then singled out another figure as superior.
“But even she’s not as influential as Lady Wind, is she?”
“Lady Wind absolutely dominates high society.”
“I’ve heard Lady Wind shows no interest in any young lady. It’s such a pity—she refuses to sponsor anyone.”
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.”
Baekya needs to BACK OFF.
So Diana is about to be reunited with her maids? 😂
With new characters being introduced all the time it can be hard to keep track!
I seriously can’t wait until Devir and Rodric meet.
Is anyone going to check on Ophelia? Poor girl has been alone at the inn this whole time!
