My Husband's Cinderella (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
The magnificent birthday banquet continued through the night. The duke’s household provided spare rooms as lodging, and everything the guests ate and wore was entirely the family’s responsibility.
No matter how much he wanted to gain recognition for Helena, this was nothing short of extravagance. It only brought further disgrace upon a family already looked down upon as nouveau riche.
Chloe, who had barely shown her face at the banquet, immediately went through the duke’s account books as soon as it ended.
“The vault cannot be opened by anyone without the master’s permission, as long as I guard this household!” declared the steward firmly—but without Chloe even uttering a word, he flung it open as if ready to smash it down.
“How absurd.”
Chloe, reading the ledger detailing the household’s financial management for the entire year, finally clicked her tongue.
Even if the royal court poured money into them, she never expected such extreme wastefulness. Funds supposedly allocated for domain management and other expenses had all been squandered on his luxuries.
She felt this utterly pathetic ledger might as well be used to wipe horse dung.
“It should be about time now…”
No sooner had Chloe glanced into the air than heavy footsteps thundered all the way to the door.
Soon after, the man himself burst through the door as if about to break it down.
“Chloe!”
He held a letter stamped with the royal seal in one hand.
“So it’s come.”
Chloe quietly set down the glasses she’d been wearing.
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
Helena has fallen into the trap. Her greed will drag her down.
And the Academy Award goes to… The husband, for his perfect portrayal of a complete dick.
No one knows how much she suffers inside the house. It made me very sad. (◞‸ ◟)
