The Dead Villainess Is Pregnant With The Male Lead's Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 18
“You came home late yesterday.”
“I was with Her Royal Highness the Princess.”
At Killion’s straightforward reply, the Duke and Duchess Drea’s brows subtly furrowed.
The Duke spoke heavily.
“Have you already forgotten what happened at the Hunting Festival? The Crown Prince and the Princess were the ones who plotted to attack you.”
“It seems certain the Crown Prince was behind the masked assassins, but not Her Royal Highness the Princess. After all, she was with me when we were attacked.”
His voice was firm.
Indeed, it was nearly impossible to suspect Veronica, who had run beside him facing death, fallen off a cliff together, and shivered together in the cold.
But his parents, unaware of the full circumstances, expressed their frustration.
This time, the Duchess added another remark.
“That’s precisely the Imperial Family’s trick, my boy. They pretend to offer you the Princess, only to lure you into a trap.”
Killion could no longer argue. After all, that truly was the Imperial Family’s method.
The Duke and Duchess continued their anxious conversation about the Imperial Family.
“The current Imperial Family seems like a gathering of utterly cunning individuals. There’s not even a trace of anything trustworthy or dependable about them.”
“Exactly. They say unrest is growing in the southern provinces—people have nothing to eat due to drought, yet taxes keep rising under the pretext of war.”

An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

ورود ”ياسمين“ Chapter 19 — Paragraph 7"It’s fortunate you’ve finally realized, even if late. You’re simply too dim-wit
I think the Empress character has a narcissistic mother personality — she uses her daughter as a mirror for her own glory and doesn’t see her as an independent person

How did the nobles allow the empire end up in such dire situation. The imperial family are clearly a bunch of cowards. Are you saying that among all these so called talented and honest Nobles, there was none that could keep the imperial family in check?
