Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 115
“What else is there to do but shake the birdcage?”
Garta had long since realized that the “bird” Eugene referred to wasn’t actually a winged creature.
He didn’t know whether it was a lover, a hidden child, or an enemy—but it didn’t matter. He only needed to stay faithful to his own role.
Cornering someone, threatening them until they finally broke free—that was what Garta did best.
For the first time since entering the guest room, Garta let a smug smile curl at the corners of his mouth.
“If it’s something like that, you’ve found the right person. Thanks to ample experience, I’m quite confident in this matter.”
The oppressive air weighing down his whole body lifted slightly. Only then could Garta properly look at Eugene. It was a strangely conflicting feeling.
His insides churned, yet he sank under an overwhelming pressure he couldn’t resist. He suddenly wondered what kind of gaze he was giving him now.
⌜Aslan Evergale is a god.⌟
Garta knew all too well what it looked like to regard someone with awe.
In life, the old man had idolized and revered Aslan Evergale, wishing to become like him. He even wanted his own children to follow suit—and damn it all, Gelda had faithfully lived up to his expectations.
Eventually, the senile old man even left a will naming Gelda Spencer, a lowborn bastard, as the next head of the house.
Regardless of bloodline, she was the lawful heir. For Garta to become master of the Spencers, he had to make Gelda relinquish her claim.
Of course, she was a leech unaware of her own place—typical of her lowly blood. Ordinary tricks could barely draw even a scornful snort from that defiant face.
So Garta turned his eyes toward those around her. He poisoned every human connection she had and laid traps everywhere.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!

This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
