‘Why is he suddenly taking off his clothes? We were just talking about the Saintess. Was he talking about using holy power here?’
Thump.
The last button was undone, and the thin shirt tumbled to the floor. Levanfell stopped in front of me, and I stared at his face as if enchanted.
Ah.
I felt it earlier, but this man’s face reveals its true nature without regret when seen up close. If there were a devil that could bewitch people, it would undoubtedly be this man, so dangerously beautiful.
“I wish the princess were by my side.”
Levanfell reached out, and without hesitation, grabbed my hand and pulled it over his chest.
“Gasp!”
Startled by the sudden touch of a man’s firm and unfamiliar body, my breath escaped in rapid succession.
Surprised by the new sensation, I looked down, only to see the sealing spell engraved on his chest.
‘This is…!’
It was a sealing spell that looked like thorny branches emerging from the vicinity of the heart.
Levanfell whispered to me as if hypnotizing,
“Use your holy power, Princess.”
I blinked blankly, looking at Levanfell’s chest with my hand on it. Thinking that I was still on guard, he sweetly and softly persuaded me like cotton candy.
“It’s alright. I promise not to do anything that would harm the Princess.”
I blankly stared at my palm against his chest, tilting my head slightly.
‘Um… So…’
No one could have foreseen this predicament. Because even I didn’t expect this difficulty.
‘How do I use the holy power…?’
Only now did I realize that I didn’t know how to use holy power. I had only ever tried to hide it, never using it, so it was only natural.
Therefore, I don’t know how to use holy power!
“Trust me.”
Levanfell solemnly swore to me.
Actually, I don’t know how to use holy power. …It wasn’t the atmosphere to say that.
‘I’ve been foolishly hiding it all this time. After all, I don’t know how to use the power.’
I sighed at my foolish behavior and glanced at the seal engraved on his chest.
‘A body with a seal of tree branches engraved near the heart. I’ve heard about it.’
It was a famous story on the continent.
The day after the World Tree disappeared, the whole continent fell into great panic. The World Tree was a power that governed life and balance. When the reliedupon power disappeared, imbalance and destruction were inevitable.
In the midst of panic, someone cried out.
‘Our god, Semula, has abandoned us!’
Those who did not believe in the gods prayed hastily, and those who did believe felt betrayed and cursed.
Then someone proposed that humans create the World Tree.
It was absurd nonsense. A realm of the gods that no knowledge could explain, not even the most enlightened sage.
But an alchemist named Generba challenged the realm of the gods as if clutching at straws.
His name was Generba, and he called the experiment to create the World Tree the ‘Ferdic Experiment.’
“Your Majesty. This sealing spell is from the Ferdic Experiment…”
“Yes. It’s evidence of that experiment.”
Generba extracted sap from the dead branches of the World Tree and injected it into the experimental subject who devoured life like a starving beast.
The subject was human.
Alchemist Generba began human experimentation, using the salvation of the world as a shield.
Generba inserted the sap into a human’s body and then engraved a sealing spell near the heart. If not, the body would dry up like a dry branch and die instantly.
But in the end, the experiment failed.
The challenge to the realm of the gods ended in a brutal result. All the people injected with the sap died.
Certainly, here is the translated passage following the guidelines:
The twisted branchlike seals etched near the heart, as if mocking the humanmade sealing ritual, covered the entire body, and it was emaciated in a bizarre pale appearance as if all life had been absorbed.
The continent had sought the alchemist Generba, who led the experiment with the pact of the peace agreement, and pursued those who followed the Ferdiaq experiment. But their whereabouts were still elusive.
“Why is this sealing ritual on Your Majesty’s body?”
“Because. I am the first and last person who survived that experiment.”
“You don’t know that Ferdiaq’s experiment means immediate execution for both participants and researchers?”
“I know well. It’s one of the pacts of the peace agreement made while promising a truce in the continent, facing the end of the world. I, who was a crown prince at the time, also followed the Emperor.”
“Why are you telling me this now……”
Levanfell answered calmly as if talking about today’s weather.
“So, Princess.”
Levanfell gently grasped my wrist placed on his chest. The noise was so hot it spread further.
“Since we know each other’s secrets now, try using the holy power.”
Use holy power? I glared at Levanfell’s chest and put force into my palm.
“Trying to push me away and escape?”
I thought that maybe if I applied force, I could use it, but this must not have been it.
Whether Levanfell misunderstood that I was trying to escape or not, he wrapped my waist and pulled me tightly.
My drenched clothes clung to my body as I was pressed tightly against Levanfell. The hands around my waist clung powerfully as if they would never let go.
“Wait…… wait a moment.”
I was surprised and tension filled my body.
That’s when it happened.
“……!”
Suddenly, my palm felt warm as if lighting a fire, and I felt it spread throughout my body.
And the branchlike sealing ritual near Levanfell’s chest began to be absorbed into the body and disappeared.
But that wasn’t all.
Levanfell’s white hair gradually darkened and turned black.
“What is…… this……”
Levanfell was not at all disturbed, as if he had experienced this situation before.
He hugged my waist tightly and whispered in my ear as if sharing a secret.
“I told you? I wish that the fact that the princess has holy power is not known. I want the princess to heal me, who changes every night, with that holy power.”
“……Yes?”
“Only by my side. It means I want you to use the holy power for me alone.”
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?”
