My Contract Marriage Got Interrupted (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
To understand why things had turned out this way, one had to rewind time slightly.
It all began when Louis accepted Elodie’s request to dance.
“…It wouldn’t be right to embarrass a young lady who bravely asked me for the first dance. I’ll leave it in your hands.”
“Oh wow, I’m so happy! I’ll leave it in yours too!”
Elodie rejoiced as if she might leap into the air, and Louis smiled as he watched her.
Only then did he finally seem to have regained his composure.
Yet, to Odette’s eyes, everything he’d tried to hide was perfectly visible.
‘Count Clovis… He definitely saw me before accepting Elodie’s invitation.’
She had been walking toward him, so he surely noticed she intended to ask him to dance as well.
Louis was no social novice like Elodie—that much was certain.
Thus, Louis had chosen Elodie fully aware of the situation,
masking it as though he had no choice but to accept due to the awkwardness of refusal.
‘If he’d really wanted to make excuses, he could’ve easily found plenty.’
Though not an absolute rule, it was customary for partners to share the first dance at a ball.
He could have declined Elodie’s request by politely citing that unspoken convention.
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.”

One-sentence summary: What goes around comes around, taking turns in the crematorium
He isn’t suspicious of Duke Ertman? Considering the rumors the Duke amplified, he has motive to drive a wedge between Louis and Odette. Yet Louie doesn’t question Walter’s words? I’d think he’d be suspicious of Walter casting the curse. Walter’s motive for doing so might be unknown but his words, seemingly knowledgeable about the curse itself and blaming it upon Odette, whom the Duke has insinuated a relationship with while Odette says otherwise, gives plenty to be wary about.
Is this woman serious saying ‘I lied to them, why won’t they believe me?’ Wow she seems a bit delusional.
What about her peaceful life with a man of low standing?
