Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 250
No matter how renowned Duke Cesare was, being rejected in his marriage proposal left him too unsettled to immediately make another. Aside from his personal disappointment, objectively speaking, it was also a risky move. Proposing again the very next day after being rejected the day before would make him appear as someone who disregarded a woman’s wishes.
Moreover, this young lady was unlike any woman he had ever dealt with before.
She was worlds apart from those who would crumble helplessly the moment he flashed his handsome smile. He needed more time—to devise a strategy, to build trust.
“Is it delicious?”
“Hmm. It’s okay, I guess.”
Thus, Cesare decided to switch to a direct approach. After the plague ended, he visited every upscale dessert shop reopening in groups of three or five, personally delivering tasty treats. He also swept greenhouses clean, filling the de Mare mansion to the brim with bouquets of flowers.
Though her responses remained indifferent no matter what he did—enough to dampen anyone’s spirits—he was a persistent man. And so, for nearly a month, word naturally spread.
“Ariadne, Duke Pisano seems like a completely changed man these days, doesn’t he?”
At a long-overdue social gathering of young ladies, Countess Gabrielle Della Torre casually remarked while sipping her tea.
The hostess today was Lady Gabrielle Della Torre. She had gathered her friends specifically to formally announce her upcoming marriage.
“Really?”
Ariadne replied mechanically.
“Of course.”
Gabrielle, who had officially become engaged to Petruccio, eldest son of the House of Montefeltro, and set to marry in late spring, radiated the calm confidence of a woman soon to be wed.
“My fiancé says Cesare hasn’t shown up at card games at all lately.”

Feng Bai Su transmigrated into a matriarchal novel, becoming the sister of the female protagonist and the Seventh Princess of the Feng Ling Kingdom.
After working herself to death in her previous life, finally reincarnating as a princess, she only wanted to be a lazy fish who could eat, sleep, and play.
Until she met the male protagonist from the book, Wei Jing Mo, and he took a liking to her!
Wei Jing Mo is the top young man in Feng Ling City, talented in both appearance and ability, from a prestigious family, with a cold and otherworldly appearance, a figure like the bright moon in the hearts of noble ladies. It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
