It was the only weapon at the moment. The only weapon that Carlos could recover with. He checked the curse like a madman. At that moment, Ru’s head turned toward the Karkekan mountain range.
As soon as the green eyes, which lost focus, sensed the enemy, the attack Carlos had been waiting for finally began.
“Yo-you…!”
The Imperial Knights tried to block Ru, who was targeting the emperors they served, as they had no idea about the emperors’ plans.
Whether it happened or not, Carlos barely breathed a sigh of relief. It was the moment he exhaled.
“Your Majesty!”
From the wrist that reached out toward Ru, sparks and flames burst out.
Carlos felt the hot flame flowing through his veins without being able to scream. The green flame was occasionally unstable in its targeting power, occasionally bouncing off to random places.
So, it sometimes splattered on Hayden and Icarus, but Hayden casually covered it with his hand to block the light, and Icarus let out a dissatisfied sound.
“Kyu-woo-woong.”
Hayden lowered the hand he had extended and gently patted Icarus’s head. He knew Hayden wanted to get closer to Ru, but it meant to endure.
Thud!
“Your Majesty!”
Suddenly, a massive fire exploded from the snowy mountain, and the surprised Imperial Knights made efforts to push through Imperiale and move towards that direction.
Imperiale, on the other hand, didn’t care whether the Flame Emperor was engulfed in flames or not; she blocked them without looking.
Ru did the same. With the belief that Hayden wouldn’t get hurt, she tightly grasped the curse connected to Carlos with all her might.
Hayden’s power, Ru’s own strength, and even Carlos’s power were colliding within her body.
White mixed with emerald, and green undulated between them. Hayden gazed at the sight enchantingly.
“My knight can do anything.”
However, it was a bit annoying that the only one who could share their admiration for that beautiful sight was Carlos Arthur Ingram.
Now he was the one groaning in pain, the same painful groan Ru had been emitting. His arm, inserted between her eyes, was flowing into her veins like blood vessels.
“Implementing thoughts directly is not something anyone can do.”
Hayden kindly bent down and looked at Carlos.
“You thought only you could take away power, right?”
The fact that he thought that only he could take away Hayden’s power, even though Hayden was taking away his, was a bit annoying.
As soon as Melfeus touched his forehead, complaining about the headache he was getting, Hayden executed the question that had impressed her so much. Ru, with the curse tied to her head, attacked Carlos instead.
Even Ru, who was so pained about having her power taken away by Carlos, deliberately did not apply the head curse.
As much as Carlos had attached himself to her, she would also stick to him, taking away everything down to the marrow through the curse.
Since it was her first attempt, it was extremely unstable, and the force that went with Carlos was sometimes directed toward Hayden or Icarus, or even the Imperial Knights.
But Ru never let go, even while writhing in pain. She would hold on fiercely, going to the end with Carlos.
“Our knight is someone who finds something to learn from you.”
So, he was an overwhelming person for Carlos and even for Hayden himself.
In any case, Carlos could never touch Rustica Genesis.
He had never faced Ru who, instead of the oppressed and suppressed Ru, would do as much as she could and act as she pleased.
Finally, Hayden, ignoring the terrifying sounds of suffering, smiled as he watched Ru’s power shooting toward them from a distance.
It was brilliant.
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?”
