Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 138
“Your mother tried to kill me today.”
“-!”
Eugene rarely startled at ordinary news, but this time he couldn’t help widening his eyes in shock. His voice failed him, and he couldn’t even ask for an explanation right away.
Not until Helena was snatched from him.
“What are you talking about? Tried to kill you?”
Ian suddenly appeared from the bushes nearby, stepping onto the path. He cupped Helena’s shoulders with both hands and quickly scanned her with worried eyes, checking for any injuries.
Without another thought, Eugene reached out. To stop himself from striking the man who dared ask what should’ve been his alone to ask—as if it were his right—he needed to hold onto something of Helena’s.
“Ah…!”
Helena let out a sharp cry as her wrist was suddenly seized in a firm grip. Eugene roughly turned her around, pulling her out of Ian’s embrace.
Instinctively, Ian tightened his hold to keep from losing her, his fingers catching her other wrist.
Helena winced from the pain of being pulled in opposite directions. Eugene still didn’t let go, even as red marks began forming under his tight grasp.
“Let go of her, Eugene.”
“Do you really expect me to just stand by and watch you hold her like that?”
Eugene yanked Helena harder toward himself. Ian matched his strength, gripping her just as firmly—this time resolved to stand his ground.
But the moment he saw Helena’s pained expression, his resolve wavered. No matter how determined he was, he simply couldn’t bear seeing her in pain. Slowly, Ian loosened his grip.

Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.

Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.

It is true that knowledge is important. But the most important thing is to benefit from it. Studying useless information is a waste of time.
Where is the similarity? I didn’t understand the Empress’s idea.
We have a superhero, stronger than Superman, faster than Batman, climbing a wall like Spider-Man. It’s Ian-man. ᕙ(⪧ ͜つ⪦)ᕗ
