Thanks to that, I remembered that also mentioned it. Since the novel’s setting was mainly in Elbas, the name Beltrawm was unfamiliar, and I momentarily didn’t understand.
Lumel continued his examination and explanation.
“You’re in the Kingdom of Loarkin, located in the northern part of Elos.”
“So I have crossed into Elos.”
I had already noticed from seeing Asphayren and Lumel, but I felt relieved after getting confirmation.
‘I must have fainted as soon as I jumped into the gate. I don’t remember anything about the snowfield or anything.’
Well, I arrived safely, so that’s that.
I let out a sigh of relief and buried my face in the blanket.
Since Asphayren brought me here, it must be the royal palace, right? Staying in the royal palace would make it easier to escape on time.
Eager to know more, I sneakily grabbed Lumel’s sleeve.
“By the way, exactly where in Loarkin is this place?”
“It’s the Royal Castle of Velloi in Loarkin. I realized I introduced myself late. I am Lumel, a court physician of this castle.”
Lumel greeted me with a gentle smile on his face.
I tried to return the greeting, but he suddenly moved aside, and there was Asphayren, who had been hidden behind Lumel.
“And… please greet him. This is Lord Asphayren of Loarkin.”
Asphayren was sitting on the opposite bed, his arms crossed, observing me. His face was truly…
‘Handsome. My favorite character indeed.’
Okay, time to score some points.
Usually, higherranking people like those who greet well. I almost bowed, almost performing a ritual salute, and chirped cheerfully.
“Thank you for saving me, Your Lordship! I will repay this favor all my life!”
I thought it was a winning move, but Asphayren had no reaction. He simply stared at me, as if examining me thoroughly.
Then he suddenly spoke.
“You, were you offered as a sacrifice?”
It was a blunt question. What should I answer?
While scratching my head in thought, Lumel stood in front of me.
“My Lord, that is too sensitive a question for someone who just regained consciousness. If you want to question him, do it after the patient has recovered a bit more.”
“Hmm.”
After contemplating for a moment, Asphayren obediently nodded.
He stood up and said, “Well, it’s too late to figure out the situation now. Take good care of him. We must send him back to Grancia as soon as he recovers. I must contact Ulysses. He’ll take care of the rest.”
‘…What?’
My mouth hung open. Send me back? Why? Who says?
My eyes widened in shock, and my neck stiffened.
But now was not the time for this. While I was floundering in panic, Asphayren Loarkin was walking towards the door without hesitation.
“Ah, no!”
If not now, I didn’t know when I could meet the busy monarch of the country again. I had to catch him right away and turn Asphayren’s mind around. I became anxious.
I almost crawled out from under the bed. And I tried to run forward with all my might, but.
“Ugh.”
My legs gave way as soon as I stepped on the floor.
Thud.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
When I came to my senses, I was sharing a hot kiss with the floor.
‘…Oh, this is just—!’
A little while ago, the doctor had pointed out specifically that my energy had waned, and I should rest for a while.
Then was this a punishment from heaven for a bad patient who didn’t listen to the doctor’s words?
I couldn’t even lift my head and lay flat on the floor in pain.
The taste of this shameful history was truly bitter.
(This is a time separator.)
One second felt like a deadsilent hour.
What broke it was the doctor’s astonished scream.
“My goodness! Are you okay?”
Lumel hurriedly ran over and helped me up. His bewildered hands examined me here and there.
“You’re not bleeding at least. Can you see me properly? No ringing in your ears? You don’t feel like throwing up?”
“II’m fine. I’m strong, so I’m okay.”
In fact, I was really fine. A little shaken, but it seemed there were no bruises.
After a while of examination, Lumel also came to the same conclusion and stepped back with a sigh of relief.
Then it was Asphayren’s turn.
“…Unbelievable.”
A look of disdain was deeply etched on the face of Asphayren, standing at the door.
“What is it? Did you want to know what’s tougher, my palace or your head? Or was it that you actually wanted to end your life quickly?”
Tsk, Asphayren clicked his tongue once. He continued speaking.
“Do it somewhere out of my sight. Don’t make me regret saving you.”
Asphayren’s sharp criticism exploded over my head. But I had no words to counter.
Honestly, how unbelievable it must be from Asphayren’s perspective. The one he went through the trouble to save and bring here wakes up only to hold their breath for a moment, then suddenly slam their head onto the floor.
I sat down quietly, kneeling, with a heart full of remorse.
The gaze of Asphayren, full of incredulity, descending upon me was so…… heavy.
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?”
