The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 21
Darius led me behind the castle. It was beneath a large poplar tree.
It was an ancient tree, said to be around 300 years old, and though I heard the legend that the founder of the Inkheart family had planted it himself, I remained indifferent.
‘Thank goodness Lady Ygritte’s influence doesn’t reach this far.’
All I felt was regret, thinking of my cotton flowers that still hadn’t been replanted since the gardener was dismissed.
“A leaf has fallen onto your head.”
I could have done it myself.
Darius reached his hand toward my head. I felt the gentle brush of his fingers through my hair, and soon after, a soft click—the sound of metal locking—reached my ears.
‘Huh?’
Just as I sensed something odd in my hair, he smiled.
“Hmm.”
He hesitated, unlike his usual self.
In that moment, I reached up to touch my own head. So this small, cold, hard object must be… some kind of hair ornament?
“I don’t know how to praise the beauty of your hair like other knights do.”
But it’s clearly not the same—it’s definitely a hair ornament!
“If you ask why I’m suddenly giving you this, well… I suppose it’s because I remembered that while I gave a betrothal gift to the Fosse family, I never gave you your own dowry.”
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.”

Hahaha, poor Annette! What is this? I wish she at least possessed some sacred power.
Hahaha, poor Annette! Why are you so greedy? Luckily, you weren’t crushed under the weight of money.
What kind of stupidity is this? Shedding a sick person’s blood is treatment? How can they do this in the name of treatment? How outrageous!

‘Remember the original story. Darius belongs to Evangeline Stockwork.’
Why does she insist that Darius would never like her? Isn’t she already defying the original work by changing the events?
‘In the original story, Anette was assassinated in the annex by Darius’s unknown
Who really could that be? If she was just the arranged wife and an enemy daughter at that, who could possibly plan on killing her?
