Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 264
Isabella was confident. It was a victory for the scenario she had meticulously woven in advance. Every intermediate step had unfolded perfectly as she desired. Now, all that remained was to pluck the final fruit. The only thing she wanted was a single one—the seat of “Duchess Pisano.”
Of course, she was not entirely free from worry about the aftermath. Above all, she did not like that her hidden skin had been exposed in front of all of San Carlo.
“It couldn’t have shown all the way to my chest, right?”
Isabella glanced down once more at her carefully readjusted corfiche. It was because she absolutely refused to proclaim before San Carlo that the proud cleavage she had flaunted until now was fake.
“I can’t let rumors spread that I’m flat-chested.”
Cesare had barely touched her chest. That bastard must have realized with a single touch that Isabella’s bust was nothing to boast about. Isabella needlessly pouted her lips.
Well, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. As long as San Carlo remained ignorant, it was fine. Surely Cesare wouldn’t go around blabbing that the woman he took had small breasts.
There was one more thing that displeased her. The fact that she had become a woman who toyed with her younger sister’s man in front of all San Carlo. It did leave a bad taste, but Isabella was confident.
“Once I become Duchess Pisano, what can they possibly do to me?”
A noble lady’s precious reputation was, after all, something needed only to marry well. There were women who became obsessed with reputation itself and risked their lives to protect it, but that was putting the cart before the horse.
“After we’re married, will they really drive me out just because my reputation in society is ruined?”
Moreover, Cesare’s reputation had fallen to the ground as well. Even if he tried to cast her aside after marrying her and look for a new wife, it wouldn’t be easy.
Some old-fashioned noble ladies might disapprove. Yet no one would dare exclude the Duchess Pisano from high society. Scandals and incidents fade with time, and the tide always belongs to those with power. Isabella was certain her gamble this time had not been wrong.

Cesare opened the door to the drawing room and stepped inside. Isabella felt something slightly off. The place she had been brought to was not the inner chamber one would naturally enter with a close acquaintance, but the formal drawing room.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
