49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 158
‘I suppose there’s only one answer after all.’
Even if I side with the Third Prince here, it won’t be good for either him or me. After all, this time around, my disciple—who previously left the Third Prince alone—might end up disliking him.
“Your Highness, I’m sorry. I was terribly inconsiderate. As your fiancée, I should have been more careful with my actions.”
I held my disciple’s arm and spoke as gently as possible, and he looked down at me with narrowed eyes.
“Your Highness, Your Highness—even so, I’m truly glad to see you again here.”
His eyes were brimming with discontent, but I pretended not to notice and gave him a wide, cheerful smile.
“So the one you favor runs away at the sight of me? Yet you stick close to your elder brother, buying him food and enjoying such a fine time together?”
“Fine time? Not at all, Your Highness. Any time spent with you is the best time for me.”
Yet despite my efforts, my disciple remained utterly unresponsive.
“Well… I’m not sure how much of what my master says I should actually believe.”
What a petty, small-minded wretch.
“Your Highness, you’re my fiancé, and we’re destined to become husband and wife, aren’t we? Let’s take that tiny boat over there and go boating together, pressed close the whole time. Since the boat is so small, it’ll be the perfect excuse to stay close.”
My disciple let out a hollow laugh as if bewildered, yet obediently walked toward the boat. Since I was still holding his arm, I naturally followed along.
I wanted to at least bid farewell to the Third Prince, but doing so would surely make my disciple unleash that barely suppressed anger again.
It was just something I’d said offhandedly—but Hwa Ryeo really did borrow a boat and put me in it. Worried he might leave me alone, I was relieved when he climbed in himself and immediately began rowing quickly, steering the boat far from shore.
Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
It’s not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre — make sure to check it out!
This is a novel I’m planning to reread as well.
The male lead is strong, skilled in martial arts, and not the usual fragile type you often see in matriarchal novels.
Meanwhile, the female lead is a scientist—rational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesn’t let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, you’ll gradually find the story really intriguing.
It has a mix of mystery, detective elements, and romance.
The author’s writing style is like crafting a puzzle—except they deliberately leave out a few pieces, making it hard to predict what happens next, yet keeping you hooked.
In the end, everything will come together and be explained.
One-sentence summary: Wife, stop playing with beakers and look at me!
In a laboratory accident, research scientist Zhu Wansheng accidentally travels to a matriarchal world. The original owner of the body is an eighteen-year-old only daughter of a wealthy rouge merchant, already married with a handsome young man.
Zhu Wansheng grins: Nice! She always said she was heaven’s favorite granddaughter. After a life of toil in her previous life, she can enjoy blessings in this one.
However, her joy lasts no more than three seconds as bad news arrives: the original owner’s family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, she’s stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
——
Faced with this mess, Zhu Wansheng pours herself a bowl of wine to drown her sorrows. In her drunken haze, her husband arrives.
His figure is imposing, holding a long sword, with a dignified air that captivates Zhu Wansheng.
Gu Yingqing, however, looks at the alcohol-reeking Zhu Wansheng with undisguised disgust and coldly asks, “Divorce or not?” The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, “I think… it’s not… it’s not… impossible!”
——
The next day, after sobering up, Zhu Wansheng is full of energy, rolling up her sleeves ready to make a big move. As for yesterday? She has no memory of it.
Zhu Wansheng is ambitious; a research dog fears nothing!
Upgrading rouge, extracting fragrances, producing perfumes, researching lipsticks… all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original owner’s dying rouge shop is revitalized. Her mother is pleased and with a wave of her hand, passes on the family business to her. As she takes control and her experimental results gain popularity, it’s the pinnacle of her life…
——
But there are always those who can’t stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts – they want nothing less than her life.
The person who has always kept his distance from her suddenly holds her tightly in his arms, eyes full of concern.
She is unharmed, but he falls into a pool of blood…
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, “I can grant you one wish.”
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, “I regret it. Can we not divorce?”
Zhu Wansheng: ? When did I agree to a divorce?
[Small Theater]
The newly developed rouge is beautifully packaged, and Zhu Wansheng is eager to try it.
Gu Yingqing suddenly appears: “My lady, may I apply it for you?”
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adam’s apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste it…
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: “Spring Night.” Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
“My lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?”
