I Beg Your Forgiveness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
So he wavered after all. The silence was suffocating, and the air felt sticky. Christoph stared at her with feverish eyes, like a boy burning with illness.
Marien thought that moment was like an arrow drawn taut on a bowstring—air stretched so tightly it might snap at any second.
The hand that had brushed her hair slowly slid down to her cheek. Without taking his eyes off her, Christoph rubbed beneath her eyes and traced her cheek.
His thumb, drifting slightly lower, now grazed her lips—casually, as if by accident.
Yet both Marien and Christoph knew it was no accident.
―Marien.
He called her name in that low, resonant voice she loved so much.
For an instant, every hair on her body stood on end. Her toes curled. Marien wasn’t naive enough not to understand the meaning behind his intense gaze. His dark eyes glistened with unmistakable desire.
His thumb still rested on her lips. Slowly, he moved his finger, tracing along her teeth with deliberate slowness. It was no different from a kiss.
Even though it was his finger and not his lips, it was still a kiss—the kind Marien feared she might swallow whole in that very moment.
―Dream sweet dreams for me, Marien. I doubt I’ll be able to sleep tonight.
He pressed a light kiss to her forehead and rose from his seat—gentle and tender, like a father bidding his young daughter goodnight.
“Impossible. This has to be someone else wearing Christoph’s mask.”
She didn’t know how to look at him anymore. Rubbing her flushed cheeks briskly, Marien hurried down the stairs.

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.”
