Don't Be Kind Rashly (Completed Main Story) - Side Story 195
No matter how much Eliza Barcova had handed over intelligence, captured targets, and even carried out assassinations for the Perseita Empire just to settle down with her child, she was still an assassin who’d do anything for the right price.
The Empress of Perseita herself wouldn’t simply show up alone and plop herself down on the neighboring fence like that. Of course, Eliza could sense guards nearby, though none were visible to her eyes.
“I don’t know your business, but you’d better keep your knights close.”
“No, it’s fine.”
Lu waved her hand dismissively, gazing in the direction Lucilla had run off to.
“You don’t care what happens?”
“You’re not someone I can’t trust.”
Eliza found those words quite unexpected. Everyone was wary and suspicious of her—and she was no different toward them.
Even Lady Gaudier, who oversaw the Cabinet Noir, didn’t trust Eliza, and Eliza likewise didn’t trust Lady Gaudier.
They exchanged precarious deals, only stepping back once they’d each received their guaranteed payment.
They never turned their backs on each other—because they didn’t trust one another enough to expose a weakness and say, “Go ahead, strike me.”
So why would someone who’d risen to become Empress of this nation claim to trust her?
“…Because of Lucilla?”
“Huh? Doesn’t she call you ‘Rus’?”
If you live together, you should use nicknames! But Eliza replied bluntly.
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.”

One-sentence summary: What goes around comes around, taking turns in the crematorium
I’m not sure where Lu gets the patience to deal with Hayden. He’s like a bulldozer. He seems convinced he’s helping her yet he doesn’t consider her opinions throughout it all.
