Oh, she answered.
Thump thump… For some reason, this feels a bit nervous.
In a soothing voice, I continued.
“You know, Mom is curious about something~.”
“Kkyaaung…” (Yeah…)
“At the village of Phillion Mountain, when you parted with Blesset, what did you talk about?”
Indeed…! The rabbit’s answer!
“Kyaoung…” (It’s a secret…)
…Well, that’s not going to be easy.
‘Well… I kinda expected that.’
But I can’t give up. One more time…!
“Apri—”
Just as I was about to call April’s name again, the rabbit tossed and turned and blinked its eyes.
She must have just woken up from her sleep…!
‘Darn it, a good opportunity just slipped away.’
I couldn’t help but feel regretful as I looked at the rabbit, who had sat up and was now rubbing her eyes with her front paws.
The rabbit yawned widely, stretching its front legs forward and arching its back, then sat back down, making a chattering sound, and looked at me with a curious expression.
…Oh, right, hello. I awkwardly raised my hand in greeting. In response, the rabbit lifted one of its front legs and greeted me in the same way.
Ah, you’re so cute. Suppressing my laughter, I gave the rabbit a high-five with its front paw.
“…?”
The rabbit tilted its head with a cute expression, and then its fluffy front paw lightly tapped the palm of my hand. Yeah, that’s how you do it. I chuckled and gently held the rabbit’s front paw in my hand, caressing it.
“Kkiyaang?” (Did you have lunch?)
“Huh? No, not yet.”
“Woongkyaang! Kkiyang!” (Then let’s eat! I’m hungry!)
The rabbit, who was hopping around, suddenly leaped onto my shoulder with a hop.
Oh, right, let’s go have lunch. I smiled, embracing the rabbit, and started walking. …Roadley and Jade, those guys will have to join us unwillingly.
The air temperature seemed a bit lower than usual. April, who had been sniffing her nose, opened her eyes brightly.
“……. ”
The scene she saw in her dream still lingered in her mind like a trace. It had been a while since she glimpsed the future through a dream.
Usually, it would happen suddenly without any warning while she was sober.
‘Seems like it’ll be soon…’
April, who got up from her seat, propped her chin up with her front paw, contemplating. The Spirit Stone of Nyx was always with April.
Nyx was deeply asleep, but April could keenly feel her presence.
‘Should I tell the Duke and the Duchess?’
Lost in thought, April raised her head. No, there’s probably no need to say anything. Since it wasn’t a significant threat.
‘I just need to be careful. And… Nyx will help too.’
Soon… she felt like she would be able to control Nyx’s power.
With a contented stretch, April hopped towards the window. Of course, she couldn’t open the curtains in the form of a rabbit.
April had no choice but to take on a human form. And she opened the curtains wide.
“Wow…!”
As soon as she saw the scenery outside the window, April exclaimed with great admiration. The pale pink snow reflected the white world, making the colors even more delicate.
On the morning of December 25th, the first snow was falling. As if celebrating April’s birthday.
“Kyaang!”
Initially, April appeared in a human form when she first came out to the garden.
“Kkiyawoong!”
After seeing the snow piled up, she got excited, hopped around, and eventually transformed into a rabbit.
“Kkiyaang!”
The white rabbit hopped around the snowy field, rolling around energetically. It seemed to be playing with great enthusiasm.
It must not be cold. I pulled my coat tighter and shivered slightly. The breath exhaled into the air dispersed faintly.
“Kyaang!”
Suddenly, April ran towards Roadley’s feet and vigorously kicked his ankles with her front paw. It seemed like she was demanding something. I should figure out what she’s asking for.
Roadley seemed hesitant for a moment and then transformed into the appearance of a baby tiger. With red fur, he looked somewhat like a large cat.
“Kwah!”
The rabbit immediately swiped its front paw as if to say, “That’s it.” Then, it hopped around, twirling, and shook its hind legs, sprinkling Roadley with a shower of snow.
The red tiger, now covered in snowflakes, looked like a hotdog dipped in sugar.
Shaking off the snow from its body, the hesitant tiger lifted its front paw and showered the rabbit with snow.
“Kyaang!”
The rabbit, hopping around, skillfully avoided the tiger’s snow attack and, in turn, sprinkled snow on the tiger.
Watching them playfully interact, I quietly took out my camera and snapped a photo.
Click—.
‘I should add these pictures to the photo album.’
The photo album I created was already filled with pictures of April.
I plan to continue taking many photos of April’s growth process and preserve them in the album.
Of course, there are also pictures of Grayan and other people.
“Hey, you two! Stop playing and come to the living room for some warm cocoa!”
Afraid they might catch a cold, I called out to April and Roadley. The rabbit, with a voracious appetite for cocoa, ran at an incredible speed.
Is cocoa that enticing…? I thought it was a cannonball coming my way.
April’s birthday celebration began at six in the evening.
“Lady, congratulations.”
“Lady, congratulations. This is a gift we brought from our territory…”
“Now that you’re sixteen, you’ll attend the debutante ball in March next year.”
“What are your thoughts on the dress? If it’s okay with you, I can recommend a great wardrobe…”
Guests from various places congratulated April on her birthday, and the gifts piled up. There were even presents from the king.
Judging by the box’s size, it seemed to be something small, shiny, and expensive… I’m curious, so I’ll unwrap it later with April.
“April, happy birthday.”
Grayan also offered his congratulations to April, handing her a gift. It was the combat-ready sword he promised to give her earlier.
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?”
