“Wake up, little one!”
A voice, even rougher than Jude’s, awakened Rosette. Clutching a rabbit doll in her arms as she slept, Rosette wriggled further into the blankets.
“Little one! If you sleep now, you won’t be able to sleep later!”
“Doronyeong, the young lady must be tired today. Maybe we should let her rest for today?”
“But she needs to eat dinner, right? She needs to eat well to grow!”
“But sleeping well is also important for growing.”
“Is that so?”
The murmurs that had been close to Rosette’s ears began to fade away, allowing her to drift back into sleep.
She began to dream deeply.
In the first dream, Duke Dallas appeared, furious with Rosette for failing to properly execute the magic she had learned. He threw everything he could grab at her in his rage.
“You wretched thing! Do you think I brought you here to see this mess?”
Rosette was hit in the head with a flower pot, bleeding, but he showed no sign of stopping. She lay at his feet, begging for her life.
“Please, save me… save…” Even in her sleep, Rosette made groaning sounds.
Next, her step-sister Elisha Dallas appeared. Elisha subtly tormented Rosette through the maids.
Rosette could bear that, but then…
“Why did you do it? What crimes did the master and Daniel commit to deserve death? Why!”
When she heard that chilling voice filled with anger, Rosette wept in her sleep.
“It wasn’t my will. I turned back time to change everything. I’ll give back everything to you.”
“I’ll find a way, no matter what it takes.”
But the man, Joshua Ernhardt, didn’t listen to her. He started to strangle Rosette, as if that would solve everything.
Rosette suddenly gasped for air and awoke from her sleep.
The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was an unfamiliar ceiling. In the darkness, she saw a white canopy fluttering and then remembered.
“That’s right. I turned back time.”
She had saved her sister Jane and been adopted by the Adrian family. Rosette sighed in relief, a sigh born of hope that she could save the people of the Adrian family, just as she had saved Jane.
Suddenly, she felt utterly drained. As she was about to close her eyes again, she noticed sunlight seeping through the curtains and realized it was morning.
“I slept all day!”
She panicked, worrying about what the people would think of her sleeping all day on her first day in the Adrian family.
Rosette hastily got out of bed, but unaccustomed to her small body, she lost her balance and fell to the floor with a loud thud.
“Ouch!”
Her scream was followed by a loud noise.
“What happened, Miss!”
Joan hurried in and found Rosette tangled in the blankets on the floor. Quickly realizing what had happened, she picked up Rosette.
“Are you okay?”
“Mhm.”
“Did you hurt yourself?”
“No.”
“That’s good. It would be terrible if you hurt your precious body.”
Joan placed Rosette back on the bed and gently wiped her face with a warm, wet towel. The towel was soft, and Joan’s touch was even gentler.
Rosette blushed, feeling like a real child, but Joan simply smiled at her.
“There, all done. But aren’t you hungry? You haven’t eaten anything since breakfast yesterday.”
“I’m fi….”
Just as Rosette was about to say she was fine, her flat stomach growled audibly. Her face turned even redder.
Joan tried to contain her laughter and whispered, “Looks like you’re hungry after all.”
“The two young masters and the eldest lady are still in early morning training. It will be a while before they eat, so I’ll bring you some warm milk.”
Joan exited the room before Rosette could say she was fine and soon returned with a large mug of milk.
“Drink slowly.”
“Mhm.”
Rosette sipped the milk leisurely, just as Joan had advised. After finishing, Joan gently wiped the milk ring around her mouth with a handkerchief.
“Are you a bit less hungry now?”
“Yeah.”
Rosette hesitated before asking, “Joan, can I go watch the practice?”
“The practice? Oh, do you mean the morning training?”
Rosette nodded instead of replying, and Joan seemed to ponder. Rosette asked again, looking hopeful, “Is it not allowed?”
“It’s not that it’s not allowed. There’s nowhere in this mansion you can’t go, young lady. I’m just worried you might get startled…”
“I’ll be okay! I won’t be scared!”
Taken aback by Rosette’s sudden enthusiasm, Joan finally nodded in agreement.
“Alright. But first, let’s change your clothes.”
Joan led Rosette to the dressing room. She estimated Rosette’s size and began rummaging through dresses.
“I brought some clothes that Lady Isabel outgrew, but they still seem big for you.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll have to call a tailor today. Ah, this one seems better.”
The dress Joan chose was a plain white one-piece without any decorations. Isabel, who trained with a sword, disliked cumbersome clothes, hence her clothes lacked lace or ornaments.
“Raise your arms, please.”
As Rosette did so, Joan expertly helped her into the dress. The sleeves were long, but after folding them a couple of times, they looked decent.
Joan took Rosette’s hand.
“Shall we go then?”
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.”
