The chirping of birds and even the fluttering curtain hems in the breeze—everything was peaceful and lazy. Except for one person.

Clayton, the master of this room.

He jolted upright from the sofa as if seized by a spasm.

His sweat-drenched hair and rumpled shirt revealed how he had just been writhing in agony moments before.

“Haah… haah…”

He panted as though he’d held his breath for a long time—his breathing ragged, like someone who had sunk endlessly into the deep sea and barely swum back to the surface.

‘Damn it.’

Glancing around as if trying to grasp the situation, he soon realized the reality and spat out a curse.

He roughly loosened his tie, pulled taut up to his neck, and rose from his seat.

He’d sweated so profusely in his sleep that his entire body was soaked as if he’d just taken a shower.

He’d had that dream again.

The very same nightmare that had tormented him relentlessly for over a decade.

The woman’s scream, tearing through her throat, and the infant’s cry—so loud it seemed to strike his eardrums—were vivid enough to be mistaken for reality.

And the bright red blood, surging and spilling as if ready to drench even the floor along with him.

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.”
