“What kind of medicine is this?”
“That’s… it would be a bit awkward if my brother heard…”
Susan, usually confident, glanced at Douglas as she bit her lip.
From the way she nervously twisted her hair, it didn’t seem like just any medicine.
‘Wasn’t it a cold medicine? What kind of medicine makes Susan act like this?’
Douglas signaled, implying he wanted to know secretly.
Susan quickly approached and whispered in my ear.
“Does such a medicine really exist?”
“I knew you’d be surprised. Hehe.”
“But this is…”
“I made just one bottle for my sister. I have no plans to make more.”
“Susan.”
“I also hope my sister never has to use this medicine. But who knows when you might need it?”
I looked at the pink medicine bottle again with a mix of awe and fear.
If what Susan said was true, it was an astonishing discovery.
As Susan said, it was clear that this would be a great help someday.
“Was this something your grandfather researched?”
“He eliminated some side effects.”
“Susan, you’re a genius!”
“If it wasn’t for my sister, I wouldn’t have found the book my grandfather wrote before his passing. I couldn’t have replicated the medicine.”
“Your late grandfather must be proud of you, Susan.”
Susan scratched her nose, her cheeks blushing.
The fact that this small and frail girl had developed a medicine that even the royal court’s pharmacists couldn’t create was astonishing.
Douglas, who had momentarily been left out of the conversation, looked at Susan and me with a pleased expression.
“It seems Susan tries harder because she wants to earn Elizabeth’s praise.”
“My sister has sponsored me so much, the least I could do is this!”
“Don’t overdo it. I’m worried you might suddenly fall ill.”
“Oh brother, these days I don’t have a fever or faint, you know?”
“Letting your guard down often leads to big problems.”
“Nagging doesn’t make you popular with women, right, sister?”
Susan looked at me, expecting my support.
“I agree with Douglas. Don’t forget that your health is the priority, Susan.”
“My sister too?”
“It’s just because we care about you, Susan.”
Douglas gave a rare, large nod in agreement with my words.
Susan pouted her lips.
“At times like this, you two are really the same.”
“?”
“When you speak with a smile, I can’t even reject your nagging.”
“It’s good to heed the words of elders.”
“You treat me like a child too! At 16, I could be married and have a family.”
At Susan’s highpitched voice, I burst into laughter.
Douglas, who had been holding back, also let out a soft chuckle.
It was adorable that Susan, who looked like she was in her early teens, acted all grown up.
With a sulky expression, Susan glanced at Douglas and me, then spoke rather maturely.
“Since you both laughed, I’ll generously forgive you.”
“When you recover from your cold, I’ll give you a tour of the palace. Let’s go for a walk together.”
“Really?”
“I promise to hold your hand so you won’t get lost.”
“Sister!”
Susan’s face lit up.
A clear laughter echoed once more in the Canary Room.
Spending time with the deer siblings sometimes made me feel a bit guilty and slightly awkward, but today, it felt simply enjoyable to laugh freely.
Had Douglas decided to stay just as friends with me?
If so, it’s fortunate, but a selfish regret sneaked in.
Unaware that someone was watching me.
(This is a time separator.)
Laughing and chatting took up energy too.
After the deer siblings left, my fever rose again.
The senior royal court healer, who had been taking care of me day and night, scolded me.
I had heard he was the highestranking among the court healers, but this was the first time I’d seen him so excited.
“Visits are prohibited for the time being.”
“I’m almost better. My fever will go down soon.”
“I understand. However, for the sake of medical staff, please stay in bed!”
“What?”
“If Elizabeth doesn’t recover quickly… I don’t even want to think about such a terrible notion. Anyway, it puts many people, including myself, at risk.”
Elder Healer Jeffrey shivered, his face pale as wax.
He looked more seriously ill than I did, just by appearances.
“Did His Majesty threaten you?”
“He did give me such orders.”
“Please tell me.”
“I can’t.”
“Would you like to?”
I winked at the elder healer, a seductive gesture.
He blinked vacantly, then replied with a softer expression.
“Hmm. I can’t refuse to answer when Lady Elizabeth asks.”
Well, if you’re going to live as a villainess in a novel, you should have some perks.
I asked again, a satisfied smile on my face.
“What did His Majesty say?”
“He told me to treat you with more care than I treat him. To give my utmost, as if reviving a fallen Emperor.”
“That’s harsh.”
“If you don’t recover completely within a week, he will banish the entire medical staff to the northern mines. A place from which no one has ever returned.”
“A week? How could you with mere humans?”
“…Do you remember the apothecary who brought you medicine on the first day?”
“I heard he has been working as a court apothecary for 20 years.”
“He’s probably on a carriage to the mines by now.”
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.]
