Changing the Keywords of the Dark Lords (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 33
“Yes, Miss. You’re doing better than just a moment ago.”
Today, in preparation for yet another social gathering, Delina was practicing her walk and posture. Delina, who had been carefully pacing the room in time with Betty’s voice, spoke up.
“Can’t we take a short break?”
“Certainly.”
As soon as Betty gave her permission, Delina leaned back against the chair. Meanwhile, Betty brought over a few books from around the room and quietly began testing their weight.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m checking the weight of the books. Next, I plan to balance them on your head.”
The books looked quite large and thick to place on Delina’s head. Yet Betty lifted and lowered them several times with an utterly unfazed expression.
“I suppose I’ll need to fetch a book of more suitable weight from the library.”
“Yeah. With those, I feel like my neck might snap.”
Seizing the moment, Delina quickly rose from her seat.
“Then I’ll go get one myself.”
“Will you fetch it personally?”
“Yeah. I can practice my walk at the same time. It’s better to do it outside than stay cooped up in here.”
She’d grown bored staying indoors the whole time, and thought it wouldn’t hurt to get some fresh air. Delina stepped out and walked lightly down the corridor.
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?”

If I was her I’d be grabbing the carriage door saying “Aghh my life “ in a dramatic tone. As they slowly drag me away dreadfully. Ashud seems to have manners, trying not to insult Del. It’s cute how they slightly protected her in their own way. Mostly because those ladies were pathetic and annoying ig

I wonder how young this emperor to be is?? He seems at least 20 though, around 7-8 years older than the children. Surely Del will catch his eye. The question is, friend or foe? Maybe he’ll want her as his jester lol

“Right. He arrived this morning. It’s about time the kid woke up, after all.”
Omg omg Omg he is actually back! I forget where he went but I’m interested to see how he could have possibly improved his skills. Looks like he still unhealthy, sleeping in so late. I think he is on the smaller side compared to the MLS.
At the voice, Mernin froze. The noble ladies and gentlemen who saw his face bega
I wonder if it is Noah, it could be Ashud. Idk id really want to see NOAHas the ML instead of the typical crown prince~ but I’m a fan either way
Celine’s murmuring about the heat gave Delina a glimpse into the terror she must
Del is so observant and really smart to notice the reason! I wonder if Celine had anything to do with her rewinding time. Honestly where did Celine even come from?!

Apu
Is he saying “marriage is impossible” because her standards are so high. Or because her words pleased him so there won’t be any marriage anyway. After askin her ideal type- I think the Duke’s daughter will turn out to be a son that pleases her maybeee that would be a fun twist
