Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 271
Cardinal de Mare realized his household was in chaos a bit late.
“What’s going on?”
At the cardinal’s question, the butler Nicolo carefully chose his words.
“Well… Duke Pisano just left a short while ago.”
“Did things go well, at least?”
He’d personally invited that detestable man into his very home to persuade his daughter. And that fellow, despite being as handsome as if carved by a master craftsman, behaved like an oily, slippery eel freshly fished out of a jar of grease. However finicky his daughter might be, she was still a seventeen-year-old girl—it seemed unlikely she wouldn’t have been swayed in the end.
“It’s just that… the young lady declared the engagement broken and sent him away.”
“What?!”
The cardinal clutched the back of his neck. Of all the times for her to choose pride over pragmatism—what on earth did she think she was doing, calling off the engagement now?
His eldest daughter had already been banished to the convent. The daughter the cardinal had set his sights on for a royal match was his second daughter, Ariadne. Yet she had personally rejected the marriage herself, shattering the grand design he’d carefully laid out.
“Tell her to come to my study at once!”

“You summoned me?”
Ariadne looked at Cardinal de Mare with puffy eyes.
“Sit down.”
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.”
