The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45
Thud―.
The sound of the front gate slamming shut echoed in her ears, sending a sharp pang through her chest. Despite having said it was the last time, Yuli couldn’t take even a single step away from the gate. She wanted to go back inside. She wanted to leap back into his arms.
Finally, a whisper like a sigh slipped from Yuli’s lips.
“I wish I could just freeze here like this.”
She wished time would stop too. But it was just a futile hope—such a thing would never happen. Yuli gave a bitter smile and finally forced her reluctant feet to move.
The chilly dawn air pierced through her skin like a blade.

She hadn’t even expected it—Hyun Kyung suddenly appeared at the place where Jae Ho was staying.
“How did you find this place?”
“The Cheong-a Group’s intelligence team isn’t exactly incompetent.”
Jae Ho frowned, and Hyun Kyung responded with a bright smile. Jae Ho stepped back, gesturing for her to come in.
“I heard this property originally belonged to your maternal uncle, but it was transferred to you. They demolished the old house and started new construction, right…?”
Hyun Kyung looked around the vast garden with curious eyes. That wasn’t the only thing she’d found out.
Ten years ago, it was true that Vice Chairman Kwon had taken responsibility for the accident and given up all his assets as compensation. But Jae Ho had a maternal uncle who possessed enormous wealth. Being a lifelong bachelor, the uncle had passed away from a chronic illness and left his entire fortune to his only nephew, Jae Ho. Few people in Korea knew this fact, however, because the uncle had been a U.S. citizen who mainly operated overseas.
Moreover, the architectural firm run by Thomas Heide—the legendary figure in architecture—was worth an astronomical sum, and Jae Ho wasn’t merely a nominal partner; he was the actual owner and primary investor. Naturally, this detail was known by extremely few as well.
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.”
