Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 20
“Love?”
Adeline hesitated briefly at the sudden confession.
After a moment’s thought, she concluded the Duke must have asked out of insecurity.
After all, she had pretended they were lovers, and with his lost memories, she was the only one he could rely on.
“He might mistake it for love.”
Adeline believed the Duke was misinterpreting his feelings due to his amnesia.
Her own emotions toward the Duke were confusing as well.
Ever since she had been reborn into this world as the Young Lady of House Credion in the Solatarius Empire, Adeline’s life had been a continuous stream of loneliness.
The manor of Marquis Credion was utterly desolate.
Even her father, Severus, had never shown her any affection.
It had been a long time since someone had looked at her kindly or made her feel warmth.
That was probably why she enjoyed spending time with Mel so much.
Yet, Adeline couldn’t call her feelings for him love.
She didn’t believe in love—or rather, it was more accurate to say she simply didn’t know what it was.
Having never felt parental love in either her past or present life, Adeline found the abstract notion of love incompatible with her existence as an orphan.
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.”

Will she still be there? Or is the person who entered the house someone her father or the crown princes side?
She told too many lies for too long… now the Duke will never believe anything she says, even if she were to tell the truth.
Ugh. I’m not liking his attitude toward her right now…. I hope he regrets his treatment of her later.

Who said the Duke is the hero? He’s a filthy, despicable bastard. How could he do that to her and abandon her? Didn’t she mean anything to him? The people I hate most are the scoundrels who deceive girls and leave them. Poor Adeline, it’s a truly awful novel.
His tender voice sent an involuntary shiver down Adeline’s spine. Still pretendi
Isn’t this a pretty bad lie for her to go with? What if the seal is found in the luggage? This girl appears to be losing intelligence the longer the story goes

Wow such harsh punishment for being kind and saving a life. I really don’t pity Adeline. What twisted her karma so badly that she has to deal with the messes that come her way?

I can already tell this is going to turn into some long, drawn out, misunderstanding drama where even if she tells him the truth he’s not going to believe her… I just hope she doesn’t get taken back to her house or to the crown prince because of his sense of betrayal!

Does she really have no feelings about consummating their relationship the previous night?

Oh my God, poor Adeline! Why did the Duke do that and then leave her?
