I Killed My Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
Her face, illuminated by the candlelight, was excessively beautiful, and her dark eyes shimmered as if they held a treasure not of this world.
“I came closer because you never turned around, no matter how many times I called. Did I startle you?”
“…Your Majesty.”
Mercedes exhaled shakily. Only then did the musk in the air become overwhelming.
It even seemed to carry a hint of blood.
“Your hand is stained with ink. You’ve been at this for quite some time… Would you consider resting your quill for a moment?”
He softly suggested.
Mercedes let go of the quill without realizing it, drawn by the warmth of his touch.
She did not release it out of rational thought—“Of course the Emperor should be allowed to sit”—but because the heat against her skin and the soothing, seductive tone had drained her strength.
‘Strange man.’
She thought it again.
It had been the same at dinner five days ago, and it was the same now.
Whenever he was near, she felt something strange. His kind voice was unnervingly unfamiliar. She couldn’t tell if it repelled or attracted her.
Only after confirming she had let go of the quill did Carlos smile faintly and step back.
His face, then, slipped slightly into shadow.

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.”

Blairwoods
And suddenly, Carlos felt a strange unease within him.
‘I’m being shaken?’
It was absurd. He was supposed to shake her—not be shaken himself.
What? He’s suspicious 🤨
