I'll Abandon the Fake Savior (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
The news that Yuricien had come up to the capital’s townhouse to attend the Crown Prince’s return banquet reached Heathcliff’s ears immediately. Yet Heathcliff could show no sign of movement whatsoever.
“You must eat.”
“Then unlock these handcuffs.”
Heathcliff raised his hands clasped before him. His wrists, bound in heavy, square wooden cuffs, looked as though they could barely even rotate. But the maid, wearing an expression utterly devoid of emotion as if stripped of all feeling, showed not a shred of sympathy and spoke bluntly.
“Her Majesty the Empress has not yet granted any permission.”
“Then how am I supposed to eat!”
Stung by her coldly indifferent reply, Heathcliff choked with anger and tried to rise from his seat. But the clanking sound of heavy chains tangling echoed, and soon Heathcliff slumped back onto the sofa.
“Grrk…!”
It felt as if invisible, sturdy ropes were tightly coiling his entire body to the sofa. Heathcliff grimaced in pain, yet the expressionless maid merely thrust a spoon toward him.
“Excuse me.”
Heathcliff was dumbfounded. Even as she stared blankly into empty space like a fool, her hand moved with uncanny precision to bring the spoonful of soup directly to his mouth.
That only made Heathcliff’s skin crawl even more. The clearly living maid felt no different from a doll.
“Get that away!”
He thrashed about, but it was useless. The more he struggled, the tighter the unseen bindings became. Turning his head aside offered no escape either.
“Agh!”

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.”
