Now, all her questions were answered.
Just the slightest bit of sympathy. That was why he hadn’t let her go.
He couldn’t bring himself to cast away someone pitiful.
It was no different from the moral obligation of noblesse oblige.
And she, foolishly, hadn’t realized that.
Yeonju let out a bitter laugh and then looked out the window.
The wind was blowing. A dry leaf clung to a tree branch, barely holding on.
How had it managed to endure for so long after winter had started?
Stronger winds would come and eventually blow it away… Why bother enduring so long?
Yeonju gazed at the landscape that resembled her situation, then closed her eyes tightly.
“Yeonju. You have your own life to live.”
Her mother’s voice echoed in her ears.
“You need to find happiness now….”
All the answers were there. There would be no more pain.
It was around sunset.
Yeonju stood looking out the terrace in the living room.
Through the clear glass window, the sunset unfolded. The sky, tinted in shades of red, was gently covered with fluffy snow. The sight of the world turning white silently was quite beautiful.
Since meeting and marrying Jinyook in the fall, she was now facing her third winter.
To have spent three seasons by someone’s side… She realized how long her time with Jinyook had been, although they hadn’t been together much.
Watching the slowly falling snowflakes, her mind felt peaceful. She had never felt this tranquil in this house.
As she was immersed in the white landscape,
The silent house was pierced by the sound of the door opening.
Entering through the front door was Jinyook, returning from his 3-day business trip.
“I firmly believed that. That Mom would wake up one day.”
Yeonju had never given up on Mihyeon for a single moment.
“I wanted to tell Mom how well I was doing when she woke up.”
She wanted to show her mother a future filled with happiness, a stark contrast to her past struggles.
“I wanted to tell her that I met a good husband, got married, and had a happy family.”
“…….”
“I wanted to show her the faces of many children we had while she was lying there.”
Yeonju endured, thinking only of the moment Mihyeon would wake up.
She thought Jinyook would change too. She believed that if they had a child, they would surely spend more time together.
How foolishly she had dreamt…
Yeonju, gazing at the distant scenery, said,
“I believed that we… that I… would be happy.”
Children resembling Jinyook run to Mihyeon and embrace her.
Mihyeon laughs endlessly at her grandchildren’s antics,
And watching this, Yeonju and Jinyook smile contentedly.
That was all Yeonju wanted for her future.
“I lived, enduring just for that one thing.”
Her voice trembled slightly. Yeonju, biting her lip, said,
“But now, it’s all become pointless.”
“…….”
“Mom’s gone forever, and I can’t have children.”
All hopes and dreams had vanished.
Nothing mattered anymore.
“There’s no reason left for me to cling on.”
No need to live by others’ standards anymore,
No need to wait for an indifferent husband,
No need to get used to being alone in the house.
No need to take bitter herbal medicine with every meal,
No need to sigh at every call from her mother-in-law,
No need to feel guilty with every start of menstruation.
Yeonju turned to face Jinyook.
Her expression was firm and resolute, devoid of warmth.
It was a face Jinyook had never seen before.
“Jinyook.”
Yeonju looked squarely at Jinyook and spoke.
“Even though I might be unnecessary to you….”
“…….”
“I don’t need you anymore, either.”
Her gaze did not waver.
“Let’s end it here.”
Her voice was firm and clear.
“Let’s get a divorce.”
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.”
