Idris grabbed my hand firmly. My body turned towards Idris as if it weren’t mine. That strength, I wish I were a white tiger beast and Idris were a hedgehog beast. Then, I could have juggled Idris with my strength all the time.
“I have something to show you.”
“H-hey, I have things to do.”
“What are you busy with? It’s not like you’re busy somewhere other than your home.”
“Um… acorn pudding…”
“Let’s go together. We can do it together, just like last time. Forgot? Last time, I peeled more shells than you.”
I bit my lip like a clam caught by a bird.
What happened the last time we made acorn pudding together? Am I crazy to be alone with Idris in that kitchen again?
“No, I don’t need help. What are you going to show me? Show it quickly.”
“Follow me.”
“Uh, leave this behind.”
But Idris seem
“A petite figure with a round back of the head and curly white hair.
“Rodrigo?”
At the sound of my voice, he turned around. It was indeed Rodrigo.
That’s not all. Mirai and Zeros were by his side.
“Cecilia!”
A hearty smile appeared on Rodrigo’s face.
Rodrigo was bouncing around, hastily looking around somewhere, and then stood quietly at attention.
Huh? Normally, he would have rushed over and hugged me. Something’s strange.
Instead, I quickened my steps and approached him.
Then, I noticed another person standing beside Rodrigo.
“Thank you for coming from afar. We will entertain you without any shortcomings.”
Heron bowed his head politely to Rodrigo.
At first glance, Heron seemed a few years older, and indeed he probably was, but perhaps due to innate physique, their height difference was not that great.
“No, it’s an honor to be invited.”
Rodrigo answered in a refined manner.
He must be nervous meeting another lord. At home, he showed only babyish behavior with family members, but outside, he seemed to know how
“You didn’t give me a chance to speak, Cecilia.”
Idrish interjected.
“When did I…”
“You two haven’t fought again, have you?”
Rodrigo asked without noticing.
“As if. Why would I fight with Idrish? We’ve never fought before, and certainly not now.”
“You have to get along.”
Rodrigo playfully warned in an adorable voice.
“Our boring story is done. Rodrigo, tell us your story. Anything interesting on the way here? Oh, by the way, shall I give you a tour of this place? Want to explore the mansion together?”
By the way, come to think of it, Rodrigo coming here was quite fortunate for me.
First of all, the occasions of being alone with Idrish have decreased.
Why? Because Rodrigo is constantly trying to stick to me most of the time!
First, I’ll guide Rodrigo through the mansion, show him around the town, enjoy the festival, and then…
“No, I don’t like that!”
“Huh?”
Rodrigo, with a bright smile, threw a rejection punch.
“What… did you say?”
“Heron Lord said he would guide us.”
Rodrigo said so, twisting his body.
Wait a minute? Look at this!
“Yes, he’s my guest, so I will guide you. Please come with me.”
Heron smiled kindly.
“S-Sure.”
Rodrigo looked at Heron with a playful gaze, and soon his face turned bright red.
Oh-ho.
Look at this!
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?”
