The Terminally-Ill Princess Holds the Leash of the Mad Dog (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 020
Celia lay down on the bed on purpose, pretending to sleep. There was nothing good that could come from revealing the fact that she was currently wearing a maid’s uniform.
The footsteps, echoing at regular intervals, stopped precisely in front of Celia’s bed.
She felt a piercing gaze. Slightly opening her eyes, Celia saw Dietrich’s face right nearby.
“I know you’re not asleep.”
His voice was bold, as if he hadn’t even considered being the one who entered the room at dawn. Celia lifted her eyelids and looked up at Dietrich.
Perhaps because he stood with his back to the moonlight, his hair—jet black like ebony—was especially noticeable. His crimson eyes, resembling fresh blood, carefully scanned her face.
Until now, no man had ever looked at her in this way. Men always stared at her with eyes full of lust.
But Dietrich’s gaze toward her now was as indifferent as if he were looking at a stray weed growing haphazardly by the roadside, or a sharp pebble caught under his shoe.
It was a look colder than mere indifference. Celia stared intently into Dietrich’s red eyes.
The two remained silent, gazing at each other’s faces for a long while. Dietrich was observing Celia, and Celia was observing Dietrich.
Dietrich broke the silence. After a long pause, his pale pink lips slowly parted.
“You—what’s your relationship with Ileon?”
Celia felt perplexed. Who shows up at dawn out of nowhere and starts talking like this?
“Ileon? You mean Ileon Gredrick?”
Celia knew the name’s owner well. The Gredrick family was at the core of one of the Three Great Dukes that formed the backbone of Abelon.

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.”

I hate that we missed chapters 21 and 23
I find Ileon very interesting so far. More so than Dietrich.
Yay! The ML has a personality that is coming out. Good timing
I’m glad this novel has so many interesting characters. It makes reading it so worthwhile.
