My Discarded Fiancé Returned (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
The Emperor, seated upon a majestic throne atop tiered high stairs, was carefully reading the letter delivered by the messenger falcon.
“Is this all?”
“Yes, Your Imperial Majesty.”
As the Chief Steward bowed his head, the Emperor clicked his tongue in evident dissatisfaction.
“Until now, there was no need for the Crown Prince to attend to state affairs due to his circumstances, but he’s already twenty.”
At first, the Emperor had welcomed the Crown Prince’s departure for the battlefield and his travels, but as the time stretched on, unease inevitably rose.
Ordinarily, by age eighteen, the heir should already be assisting the Emperor in governance and securing influence in the council—yet under the excuse of training, he hadn’t set foot in the palace until turning twenty, making the Emperor’s frustration understandable.
“It’s already been a full year since I issued my final notice.”
The Emperor hadn’t remained idle either. Lucas was the Crown Prince and sole heir to the throne. For several years, he had sent repeated reminders and even dispatched envoys personally to persuade him—doing everything within his power.
And yet, just as he’d issued his final ultimatum, a messenger falcon arrived unexpectedly from Duke Astel’s domain.
“Damn that boy!”
Thud—the Emperor slammed his hand down on the armrest of the throne. Instantly, every steward and lady-in-waiting in the audience chamber lowered their heads as if they themselves were guilty.
Just then, the heavy doors of the audience chamber suddenly boomed with loud knocking. Whoever it was had chosen the worst possible moment to arrive.
“Go see who it is and tell them we need nothing right now—send them away at once.”
While everyone treaded cautiously, fearful of catching the Emperor’s wrath, the Chief Steward stepped outside—and upon seeing the uninvited guest, his expression immediately softened.

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.”
