Rivampel, wearing shoes covered in dirt as if he had been resting in the garden, frowned as he looked at the people.
But in the eyes of the people concentrated on catching the hamster, the Emperor didn’t seem to exist.
They didn’t care and continued to relentlessly chase after the hamster.
“We are capturing the Queen’s hamster!”
Raven, who gracefully spun on the carpet, explained to Rivampel on behalf of others. Rivampel murmured softly, ‘A hamster?’ while looking at the place where people were running simultaneously.
Those with intact senses looked at Rivampel, greeted him in astonishment, and then ran off.
For them, it seemed more important to prevent that hamster from going outside the garden.
Having heard the words of those who were helping me, Rivampel, with clenched fists, attached himself to the end of the corridor. Perhaps it was to avoid being a hindrance.
Watching the crowd rushing in, Rivampel, who had been silently observing, spotted me and reached out his hand.
“Terry.”
And from behind, where I was running out of energy and weakly jumping, he caught my waist and lifted me up.
“Are you running to catch that hamster?”
“Yes!”
“That hamster there… Should I catch it?”
“…Don’t kill it!”
Rivampel glared at me as if the hamster that was supposed to be my pet was making him jealous. As an excuse for catching it, almost sounding like he was about to kill it, I quickly added, “Got it? The benefactor who saved you guys asked me to catch that little rat. You guys better earn your keep too.”
Rivampel turned his head back. His gaze pointed downward behind him.
‘Huh?’
I also followed Rivampel’s gaze and looked beyond him. Then, I saw a familiar animal.
“You guys…”
“Meow.”
They were divine beings.
Two cats meowed softly as they looked at me. It seemed like they understood Rivampel’s intentions completely.
“Since killing is not allowed, play with them moderately…”
The cats listened attentively to Rivampel’s words. It even seemed like they were communicating with Rivampel.
“Go catch them.”
Rivampel lightly gestured and gave the command.
Upon receiving the order, the two cats answered with “meow” and swiftly rushed forward like arrows. The cats skillfully avoided the people running around and quickly chased the hamster.
“Why are those cats here?”
Asked with a puzzled face at the appearance of the divine beings, Rivampel buried his face in my neck, holding my waist that he had lifted into the air, and mumbled softly.
“…I go to take care of them occasionally.”
“What? Rivampel, you?”
His ears seemed to turn reddish. As if caught in embarrassment, Rivampel nodded shyly.
“Terry, these are the ones you named after me… I’ve visited them a few times…”
Rivampel and cats.
Although it seemed mismatched, I wanted to see the two of them playing together.
Just as I was about to imagine it in my mind.
“Meow!”
The cats meowed loudly, calling us.
The cats, not long after setting out, immediately caught the hamster. After cooperating with each other and bringing it to a corner, they swiftly captured it.
The cats approached us, carrying the struggling hamster in their mouths as if seeking praise.
“Wow! They caught it!”
“The cats caught it!”
“As expected, it’s the Queen’s cats!”
People cheered with excitement.
“Meow.”
The cat, holding the hamster in its mouth, gently placed it on the ground and pressed it down with its front paws.
“Th-thank you.”
I descended from Rivampel’s embrace and thanked the cat with an oddly grateful expression.
Then, I also expressed gratitude to the people who had been running around strenuously for me.
“Thank you all for helping me catch my hamster.”
It was something I had never experienced in the Lupheon Kingdom. To others, it might have seemed like a trivial matter – just a hamster.
Even with my unreasonable request, people ran for me as if it were their own business.
“It’s because it’s the Queen’s command.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t catch it.”
People even laughed it off. It felt strange, like seeing a bright, colorful rainbow in the sky after the rain.
After sorting out the strange feelings, I picked up the hamster, which was pressed under the cat’s paw.
“Squeak.”
The captured hamster seemed to have lost its strength, hardly moving.
Indeed, upon closer inspection, it was just a real animal, not Semula.
Semula had left me.
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?”
