The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 70
“Yes, Brother Nel.”
Nelusion first examined Neris’s expression.
He still did not know the truth about what had happened at the abandoned house by the lake. He had questioned Isabel and Delma separately, but Isabel insisted she knew nothing, while Delma claimed it was all Neris’s fault.
Judging by how upset Valentine was, something clearly hadn’t gone her way—but somehow, he doubted Neris was to blame.
After all, Valentine herself had fabricated an alibi before leaving. It was obvious who had initiated their meeting.
Of course, just because his side had started it didn’t mean others could retaliate however they pleased. House Elantria deserved respect, after all.
But wasn’t there something far more important right now?
“Clever Neris.”
That phrase omitted something crucial.
“‘Moderately’ clever Neris.”
She excelled at schoolwork but was so naive she attracted attacks from every direction. What a conveniently exploitable trait.
Nelusion had once considered placing Valentine beside Abelus someday. The more allies he had then, the better.
Naturally, that was a very distant prospect, and broaching such a sensitive matter prematurely—before fulfilling the family’s secret ambition—would inevitably backfire.
“Offering the imperial court a hostage in advance wouldn’t be a bad idea.”
To reassure the imperial family, it would be wise to propose an alliance—one seemingly unbreakable from their perspective—at the appropriate moment. A betrothal, for instance.

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.”

The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
