Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 046
“Yeah. Take it with the medicine and sleep—it’s a direct hit against insomnia.”
Karaf replied, tossing a large amount of pills into his mouth along with alcohol.
“That’s really bad for your health.”
He gave a satisfied smile.
“Though I enjoy Lady Nabi’s nagging, just indulge me for today. Didn’t that damn fly ruin our chance to drink together in peace during the Flower Banquet?”
Asha clicked her tongue at his calling the assassin a “damn fly.”
But the memory of that day—when he’d emptied the wine the Emperor had bestowed straight onto the floor—rose in her mind, leaving her without a retort.
Karaf poured a deep crimson wine into his glass, its hue matching his mood.
Soon, the entire room filled with the mingling scents of wine and flowers.
Asha glanced at him discreetly and clinked her glass against his.
With the clear, ringing sound of their glasses meeting, they sat facing each other and tilted their wineglasses to their lips.
Asha lowered her glass slightly and watched him wordlessly as he gulped down the wine like water.
Suddenly, a trickle of wine ran down his Adam’s apple.
Just as Asha reached out unconsciously to hand him a napkin—
Karaf gently caught her wrist and pulled her toward himself.
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.”
Not practically, it is a form of torture. Jackel didn’t jump into the water on his own while tied to the boulder.
It seems backward that the Empress is invited to a Duchess’ tea party.
What terrible phrasing. ‘He couldn’t possibly take her…’ She is the empress of the empire, Jackel needs to get with the program. She has shown herself to be stronger and more resilient than anyone else in this novel.
