Long Live the Emperor, Minus Me (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 126
Baekryeon always expressed disapproval, saying his favor was excessive and that this much wasn’t necessary.
And perhaps she had been right.
Indeed, there might have been no need to grant unprecedented official posts, the Empress’s insignia, or even the Emperor’s personal seal.
But for Cheongryeong, who had already lost so many loved ones, the terror of possibly losing Baekryeon too—how utterly horrifying that must have been.
Even the mere thought that insufficient favor might render Baekryeon someone who could be “disposed of without consequence” forced Cheongryeong to continually bestow favor of an entirely different magnitude.
That was how it was. At that time, all that mattered to Cheongryeong was Baekryeon’s safety.
Thus, he never once pondered what the death of that child—whose very name he could no longer recall—might have meant to Baekryeon.
No, even if he had reflected on it, nothing would have changed.
It was an era of extremely high infant mortality, and in noble families, children existed primarily as heirs, after all.
In any case, he never considered—whether by choice or inability—that the child’s death might have left a wound on Baekryeon.
Therefore, when Melchizedek now saw Blanche’s delicate face, layered with such complex emotions, he couldn’t even move the tongue he’d always prided himself on; he could only silently pull Blanche into his arms.
Because the moment for comfort had long since passed.

Hugging while riding separate horses is quite strenuous, requiring many muscles to hold steady.
Yet, when His Majesty wordlessly embraced me, I realized he was laboring under a grave misconception.

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.”
