Boiling Desire (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
We’ve confirmed the identities of the people who took Ms. Choi Young Joo. They were members of a broker organization infamous for its ruthlessness. We’ll keep monitoring the group’s movements as well.
Ms. Choi Young Joo took a taxi early this morning and placed an envelope in a locker at Daehwa Station. The location is distant from her home and has no personal ties, so it’s suspicious that she would go out of her way just to leave something there. We’re keeping watch.
That was the report Seok Hoon had given Ha Joon before he arrived at Seo Ah’s house.
It wasn’t yet certain whether Young Joo posed a threat to Seo Ah, but Ha Joon couldn’t risk keeping someone who’d been in contact with such a vicious broker near her.
Even if the broker’s motives had nothing to do with Seo Ah, they might still use Seo Ah—the closest person to Young Joo—as leverage to intimidate her.
Ha Joon planned to meet Young Joo in person once he had a clearer grasp of the relationship and intentions between her and the broker.
If Young Joo was truly in danger, he’d be willing to help—after all, she was someone Seo Ah trusted and looked up to.
Until then, he needed to keep Young Joo and Seo Ah separated, just in case.
“I’d prefer not to tell Seo Ah or Ms. Choi Young Joo the full truth. Since Ms. Choi clearly cares deeply for Seo Ah, she might feel hurt.”
“That’s true…”
“How about telling her you’d like her to focus on learning her secretary duties? That could be a reasonable explanation.”
“That sounds good. I’ve actually been worried lately—the time I pick up Seo Ah has been getting increasingly delayed.”
“I’m already looking into hiring a female bodyguard who’ll care for Seo Ah as much as Ms. Choi Young Joo does. Until then, my personal secretary will provide protection.”
“Heh heh. Honestly, I was a bit worried because you seemed a little reserved, Kang Seobang, but now I see I don’t need to worry at all. I had no idea you cared so deeply for our Seo Ah.”
“I held back before because I was thinking of Seo Ah, but now there’s no need to.”

My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
