‘Zero! Is it done yet?’
“It’s almost done, soon!”
Zero displayed a complex magical formula more beautiful than the spell recipes used by Ruth and commanded the search box.
[Did you call, NO.00000234232?] “System, determine whether that woman is a living human!” [Accepting the command of NO.00000234232.] [Using the authority as an administrator of the possessed individuals’ management department.] [Now Loading…….]After a short period, the revealed result was shocking.
[Fetching search results.] [Search Result: Not Human X]“W-What? She’s not human?”
‘What?’
If that’s the case, what on earth is Sienna Evergreen right now?
As I stared at Sienna in disbelief, she smirked.
“Duke, why are you like this?”
Her expression was so pure and innocent that it was almost apologetic for doubting her.
Just like the past Sienna, she was just as affectionate and kind.
But every time I saw such Sienna, my heart froze.
‘Still suspicious.’
If she’s not human, does that mean Sienna is still in a zombie state?
When I silently gestured to Zero, he, in turn, searched the system window again.
This time, I included a code to confirm if she is a mutant zombie.
[Accepting the command of NO.00000234232.] [Searching if the individual is a zombie.] [Now Loading……] [Fetching search results.] [Search Result: Zombie O]It was a grim result.
“Hey, hey… Possessor, this is a big problem.”
Zero became contemplative and stammered.
It was like a toad expressing its distress to a rat, unable to fill water into a leaky jar.
“That’s a zombie. Not a person.”
‘Right…’
“I don’t know how someone who’s already a zombie came back to life. But it’s certain that this zombie was created based on the person Sienna Evergreen. However… how did this happen? Resurrection is an area even gods shouldn’t handle recklessly!”
I responded to Zero, fixing my gaze on Sienna’s unharmed and neat forehead.
‘There’s an enemy interfering with us.’
“…No way!”
The culprit who caused the zombie outbreak and exterminated the Warai family in Linstead.
‘I think it’s that guy.’
Why did he ruin the life of the heroine who should have had a happy ending, with Sienna Evergreen as the starting point of all these events? The reason was beyond my imagination.
The only thing Sienna could guess right now was:
‘I don’t know what it is, but Sienna is definitely not an ordinary zombie. She’s almost indistinguishable from an uninfected person.’
In that case, could the culprit have intentionally created a mutant zombie?
It didn’t take long to complete this thought.
Holding suspicions and anxiety that swelled up like foamy bubbles, I told Sienna.
“It’s nothing. I’ve been working hard lately, and I look tired. I couldn’t sleep well…”
“Oh my. You should take care of your health.”
“That’s right. I apologize for showing such an embarrassing appearance.”
As I muttered words I didn’t mean, I clutched my head and staggered.
“Ugh… dizzy…”
Creating nonexistent headaches, I swayed, and both the butler Patrick and the gatekeeper Jim were alarmed.
“Duke!”
“Are you feeling very uncomfortable?”
Between the two people who were at a loss, Sienna supported me, looking pitiful.
“Oh my, are you okay?”
“I’m… fine.”
In Sienna’s touch, I couldn’t feel any warmth.
‘It’s cold.’
It conveyed only a stiff and cold sensation, like a plaster statue touching a person.
I shivered and almost pulled my hand away from Sienna’s, but I endured it.
‘…Did the gatekeeper Jim, who brought Sienna, not realize this fact?’
This seemed something to check separately later.
“Thank you for holding me, Sienna.”
Instead, I calmly decided to set a trap.
While pretending to step back to make the other person off guard.
When I called her name, Sienna widened her eyes and shook her hands tremblingly.
“Just now… What did you call me?”
“Sienna. Sienna Evergreen.”
“Is that… my name?”
In her hopeful green eyes, I appeared with a cold and insincere smile.
“Of course. If the wedding had proceeded smoothly, you would have become the precious lady, Sienna Hainsworth.”
“Whom did I decide to marry?”
“Yes. You promised to enter a hundred-year covenant with the Crown Prince of the Empire.”
“I can’t believe it…”
While Sienna, amazed and with her mouth slightly open, was beside herself, Zero shouted an inaudible exclamation to her.
“It’s a lie!”
On the search window Zero provided, there was a new input.
[Determines whether what the person is saying is true or false.] [Conclusion: False]Sienna hadn’t lost her memory.
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?”
