“Hold on, hold on. There’s a rope there, right? You have to gently lower me with that. You know what ‘gently’ means, right?”
Worried that Zen might untie the rope from the air again, Delina hastily pointed to the rope next to Zen. Then Zen immediately began to lower Delina from the air using the rope.
“Yes, that’s good. Very good. Gently, gently lower me…”
Cautiously descending so as not to hurt her buttocks, Delina began to come down. But then,
“Lift me back up, up!”
Delina flailed her arms quickly upward, startled by the appearance of Ashud and Callics entering through the training ground door.
Ah!
However, Zen misunderstood the gesture and began to move the rope even more quickly to lower her. In the end, Delina landed hard on her buttocks, letting out a silent scream before noticing a shadow looming above her.
“……”
“……I greet Your Highness, Prince Hwangtaeson.”
It seemed strange that the position of royalty was so idle. Ashud, who seemed to appear rather frequently, was avoided by Delina, who slowly rose from her place. Ashud looked at Delina and raised an eyebrow.
“You.”
“……”
“If this is over, you don’t have anything to do, right?”
“No, I do have something.”
She felt like she would be kidnapped and put in the middle of the palace ballroom if she was not careful. Desperately looking for something to do, Delina pointed at Callics.
“I have plans to have dinner with Callics!”
Callics, who was unexpectedly pointed out, furrowed his brow in disbelief. Delina then spread her fingers wide and smacked her lips at him.
Ten plates, ten desserts.
Callics immediately changed his attitude at Delina’s secret and swift gesture indicating that she would eat ten desserts.
“That’s right.”
“……”
“I promised her.”
It was either to endure the humiliation in the palace ballroom again or to burst from overeating. Delina chose the latter. While she was resolving to take a digestive aid, Ashud interrupted.
“You can eat dinner anytime, so hand her over.”
“I refuse.”
Callics immediately rejected Ashud’s request, and the atmosphere turned tense in an instant. Noah and Bansen commented on them.
“What’s the bet? I have 10 gold on the Ulpurim side.”
“Me too.”
“Hey, what is this? Then there’s no bet.”
Watching the two people casually betting money on a fight and Zen, who seemed to sense the fighting atmosphere, beginning to prance on all fours, a dizzy Delina touched her forehead. She began to desperately await the only person who could dissolve this chaotic atmosphere.
Fortunately, Delina’s wish was quickly granted.
“Your Highness!”
Delina, who was very pleased to see Duke Bellion’s face, quickly ran to him. Wondering what was going on at the sight of Delina, Duke Bellion stood still in his place, and Delina clung to Duke Bellion’s leg with her survival instinct.
“Are they fighting?”
Duke Bellion asked, looking at Ashud and Callis who were glaring at each other. Then Noah grinned.
“Yes. Thanks to the clown.”
Indeed.
It was irritating, but true. When Delina agreed in silence, Duke Bellion looked at the children in front of him. The five children, excluding Delina.
“Five….”
Duke Bellion murmured, looking at the children.
“You.”
At the low and heavy voice of Duke Bellion, Ashud and Callis, who had been glaring at each other, focused on Duke Bellion, and Noah, Vincent, and Zendo looked at Duke Bellion.
In the suddenly serious atmosphere, even Delina looked up at him with a tense face, wondering what was going on. Then Duke Bellion asked,
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?”
