When Pride Falls at Your Feet (19 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 45
Before any sound could be heard, Enrico’s hand moved faster. He scooped her up by the waist and pulled back. Emilia didn’t even try to escape his grip—she simply stayed still in his arms, watching as the bookshelf shifted.
The books remaining on the shelf suddenly vanished into the wall as the back panel opened, and the now-completely-empty bookshelf creaked as it slid aside toward the room like a door. Emilia stared blankly into the opening.
“An unusual mechanism.”
Enrico muttered as he set her down. He’d seen many secret rooms before, but this method of opening was new to him, and thus intriguing.
“Oh, this is it! I came down these stairs before!”
Behind the bookshelf was a small space just wide enough for one person, with a staircase leading underground. Enrico picked up the lamp from the room and went ahead first.
Emilia hurried after him, watching his broad back descend without hesitation.
“…There’s a lot to examine.”
When they reached the cellar, a space about the size of a study appeared. Dozens of boxes and various wrapped items were scattered about.
Emilia slowly looked around, then walked toward a box that somehow looked familiar.
‘Ah, right. He jokingly told me to hide my treasure here and come back for it later.’
The forgotten memory suddenly came flooding back. Her father had once said that the box she’d scribbled all over as a child was as precious as a treasure chest to him. Emilia slowly lifted its lid.
And finally, she found what she’d been searching for—her father’s last letter.
[This is the timeline separator]
Enrico raised an eyebrow at the unpleasant damp smell and watched Emilia’s small back. She’d sat down in front of some grimy box and hadn’t moved since.

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.”
