Anyway, they’re saying they can fight, right? I nodded and spoke inwardly.
“So, half of you stay here and half go find the way? I think that would be best.”
{Yes, we will.}
{Don’t worry! We’ll definitely find the way!}
{We’ll stay here and protect you.}
The butterflies, divided into two groups, cast a glorious light in the darkness. Thanks to the butterflies, the surroundings were a little brighter, and I was able to calm down much more than before.
Soon, a group of butterflies left to find the way, and the remaining group stayed by my side.
The butterflies fluttered around me, constantly chattering, as if to reassure me on purpose.
“They’re a bit playful, but they’re good guys.”
{But, Gloria.}
“Yes?”
{Are you going to have a baby with Grayan?}
I, who was drinking the water a butterfly had made, spat out the water at that moment.
“Puff!”
{Oh, let’s make a rainbow!}
{Thanks to Gloria, we made a rainbow.}
What… what are they doing, these creatures?
I was utterly confused.
I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and asked the butterfly who had asked if I was going to have a baby, “I didn’t even properly spend the first night with him…! Why would you ask that all of a sudden?”
{I was just curious. Because, actually, Grayan is―.}
At that moment, I felt an unknown presence.
I stiffened my body for a moment. The butterflies also stopped talking and seemed to be on guard around them.
Soon, I heard something being dragged on the ground. A scrabbling sound.
Listening closely… it was very similar to the sound of a beast walking on all fours.
“Could it be…”
{Gloria, be careful!}
At the same time as the warning from the butterflies, I saw several pairs of eyes glowing ominously in the darkness.
Soon, I heard a long howl from the beast.
Woo Woo!
Ahwoo!
“Wolves!”
The identity of these beasts… as I had suspected, they were indeed wolves!
“Why are there wolves in the basement of Salisbury Castle…?!”
I watched the wolves, terrified. These wolves… could they be werebeasts?
The wolves, as if observing me, were wandering around with their eyes fixed on me. I swallowed hard and tried to muster the courage to talk to the wolves.
“Uh, hello…?”
At that, the wolves began to attack me out of the blue.
“Ahhh! They’re not werebeasts, they’re real wolves!”
In front of the wolves rushing to bite me, the butterflies of the World Tree blocked the way.
Then the wolves stopped for a moment, bared their teeth and growled at the butterflies of the World Tree.
I didn’t understand well, but it seemed to mean something like ‘If you don’t get out of the way right now, we’ll kill you’…
“These crazy wolves. They can’t possibly see me as prey, can they?”
…It really seemed that way. Just now, one of the wolves licked its lips looking at me.
“No! Where in this thin body is there anything to eat!”
It was a tense situation with the butterflies of the World Tree and the hungry wolves facing each other.
Just in time, a savior appeared.
“Gloria!”
“…!”
It was none other than Grayan.
“Kyaang!”
…And a rabbit on Grayan’s shoulder.
“Why did you come with him?!”
Really crazy and mad.
‘A rabbit that is too, too brave. An overly brave rabbit.’
The brave rabbit landed impressively in front of me and took a fighting stance towards the wolves.
I couldn’t help but look at the white fluff of the rabbit with a bewildered expression.
‘A stern but not at all stern rabbit…’
April, you don’t really believe you can fight, do you? Let’s learn magic instead. That would be better. Originally, rabbit werebeasts have been magicians for generations, right?
“Kyaang!”
“Grrrr….”
As the rabbit roared fiercely, the wolves hesitated and retreated, baring their teeth.
‘?’
‘While hesitating and retreating,’ they bared their teeth.
‘…What? Am I seeing things?’
However, even when I rubbed my eyes and looked again, the wolves were indeed scared of April.
No, wait… this is a rabbit? Wolves that are scared of rabbits! And they dared to try to eat me!
‘I didn’t think April’s threat would work. Is this really a world where April becomes the strongest…?’
I was very dumbfounded and alternately looked at the wolves and April. The rabbit shook her body as if to say “come at me”, and kicked her front paws. …It doesn’t seem like it would hurt at all to get hit by that.
“Madam, are you okay?”
“…Ah.”
Then, Grayan’s voice came from beside me. He examined my condition in detail, then rapidly spit out his words.
“You are not hurt, fortunately. You must have been startled? Let’s get out of here as soon as possible.”
Then, without waiting for my response, he said, “Excuse me,” and swiftly picked me up.
‘Whoa, what a surprise!’
Without realizing it, I tightly hugged Grayan’s neck, and a white fluffball jumped into my arms.
“Squeak!”
It seemed to be saying ‘let’s go!’ Grayan nodded his head, then started running at an arrowlike speed.
My hair fluttered wildly in the wind.
‘Is April going to fall off?!’
That was my worry. But the future’s strongest rabbit was sitting near my shoulder and maintaining her balance… Impressive.
‘April is… possibly even more amazing than I thought.’
I might have to call her Miss April in the future…
A lowly human like me dared to make fun of Miss April… I’m sorry.
“Squeak!”
“Growl!”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”
And over Grayan’s back, the sound of dogs… no, wolves barking came one after another. The wolves were hot on our heels.
‘Those guys… they want to eat me that much?’
Was I actually their meal all along?
{Kyaa! The wolves are chasing us!}
{Those wolves without any hair on their heads!}
{It’s fortunate that Grayan happened to be here, Gloria.}
{I’ll support your babymaking!}
Crazy butterflies were buzzing around us as we ran.
The butterflies that had gone to find the way had returned to my side at some point.
I repeated ‘patience is a virtue’ three times in my mind and then spoke.
‘I’m not making a baby with Grayan. This man isn’t interested in me at all!’
{What are you talking about? Is that so?}
{Gloria is completely clueless, isn’t she?}
‘??’
A butterfly that had quickly picked up internet slang laughed as if it was funny.
I was dumbfounded and just opened and closed my mouth.
“We are almost there. Just bear with it a little longer.”
At Grayan’s words, I replied softly, “Yes.” Actually, there was nothing to endure. The ride was very smooth…
‘Grayan is… a good ride.’
Soon, following Grayan’s gesture, a huge door opened wide—
A dazzlingly bright light poured in.
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?”
