Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 95
Gelda rubbed his bloodshot eyes.
Water dripped incessantly from the raincoat carelessly draped over the chair. It had been a long time since he’d felt this suffocated by sheer desperation.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it. Think, you damn useless head—figure something out!”
He yanked at his hair so hard that strands slipped through his fingers.
It felt as if the solution itself was slipping away, leaving Gelda even more frustrated.
⌜I understand your situation… but His Lordship won’t grant permission. Without his orders, we can’t recklessly send out a search party. And with the festival coming up, even if you offer all the money in the world, he’ll still refuse.⌟
Knowing this full well, Gelda had still clung to a last straw and approached Daillon’s constabulary—only for that straw to snap, as straws do.
After quickly abandoning that hope, Gelda immediately went to a professional search guild. But again, he gained no real results. The combination of foul weather and financial hardship had produced the worst possible outcome.
No one was foolish enough to brave the rain and plunge into the monster-infested forest, and even if someone were willing, the fee demanded for risking their life was exorbitant.
Moreover, even that offer would only cover a limited local area.
“She must’ve been swept downstream—so the entire stretch along that river should be our search zone. This is utterly insufficient.”
He didn’t even entertain the possibility that she might be dead. Patren’s forces had already been dispatched to the eastern forest. Gelda himself had roamed all day and only returned when dusk forced him to.
In the end, it was a race against time. He had to pinpoint her location before it was too late. No matter how lucky she was, she couldn’t possibly have escaped injury from that height.
“If she’s gravely wounded and misses the golden hour… then it’ll really be…”
Gelda couldn’t bear the thought—the worst-case scenario, and himself in it.

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.”
