The Terminally-Ill Rejects the Approach (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 71
“The tragic love story between Prince Anselot and Princess Arvela is so widely known throughout the Kingdom of Luhenhart that there’s hardly anyone who hasn’t heard of it.”
Hearing Helena’s gentle explanation, my heart sank with a thud.
That woman… was Anselot’s first love?
And not only that—he loved her so desperately and dramatically that rumors claimed he went mad from never being able to forget her?
“After Princess Arvela became Prince Arno’s consort, and especially after Prince Arno met his end at Prince Anselot’s hands, it all became a scandal the royal family preferred to keep hushed up.”
Helena’s face seemed unusually animated as she spoke of the royal family’s dirty secrets.
“Princess Arvela was originally the daughter of Countess Camilla, who served as Prince Anselot’s nanny. Because of that, the two grew up together like childhood sweethearts and later promised each other their futures once they came of age.”
“…….”
“Isn’t that a truly beautiful story? But then trouble struck. While Prince Anselot was away at war, Prince Arno—the notorious rake—seduced Princess Arvela.”
“…….”
“When it became known that Princess Arvela carried Prince Arno’s child, her noble house erupted in chaos. In the end, she became Prince Arno’s consort. Until that point, it was just another typical royal scandal….”
At this point, Helena lowered her voice conspiratorially and whispered into my ear.
“The real trouble began afterward. Upon hearing the news on the battlefield, Prince Anselot went completely mad. Did you know? Prince Anselot was originally known as the kingdom’s gentle, courteous, and sunshine-like prince—admired by every young lady of noble birth.”
Helena suddenly clasped her hands together as if in prayer, her eyes sparkling with wistful admiration.
“The sight of Prince Anselot dancing with Princess Arvela at the ball was so splendid that, despite knowing it was improper for a lady to ask a gentleman to dance first, countless noble ladies would form a line hoping he’d dance the next song with them.”

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.”
