Idrish saw me and let out a deep sigh.
“Is this also because you just left the man you were trying to help?”
Idrish showed me his pocket. What’s that? Wait a minute, that’s!
I felt my clothes.
The personal money pouch that I had received from Idrish before getting off the train was gone.
“When did I drop it? I was helping this old lady for a moment, huh? Where did she go? You can’t just leave your luggage!”
The old lady who was in front of me just a moment ago was gone. Not only her, but the men who had been around were also no longer there.
“It’s a gang of pickpockets.”
“That can’t be. I have the old lady’s luggage here.”
I opened the luggage bundle.
Wow, this.
It was filled with stones.
Mogus, who had arrived a bit late, scratched his head as if in trouble.
“I should have told you first. Recently, the city atmosphere has become very ominous, so it’s best to be careful in everything.”
“The city atmosphere is ominous?”
“Yes, since a few months ago. Central was originally a peacekeeping area, where no violence is allowed even if something happens between Suins. It’s the reason why many species of Suins can live together.”
“What happened to make it like this?”
“A few months ago, a rabbit Suint family was murdered. Brutally.”
I knew who it was.
The family of Jessica Belloruchi, the heroine of ‘Rabbit in a Trap’.
“The way it was done was like… a predator hunting its prey. Apparently, the neck was savagely torn.”
“Oh…….”
I remember. Jessica, who had come home to find the horrific corpses of her family and was shocked.
“The atmosphere has become tense because they suspect that carnivorous animal Suins attacked herbivorous ones. They started to reveal the antagonism they had been hiding.”
“Who did that?”
“Nothing has been clarified yet, but…. actually, everyone thinks it’s the work of the eagle Suint Aguila.”
“Why?”
“A few days before that incident, Aguila’s leader, Vita Aguila, had proposed to the young lady of that house. But she refused. Vita is known for his ferocious nature and bad hobbies, right? But being rejected seemed to have bothered him, and he caused a scene, telling her to leave the neighborhood, and left. Everyone saw it. So, it’s obvious, isn’t it?”
“Hmm…….”
It was exactly as it was in the novel.
After refusing Vita’s proposal, the family is murdered a few days later. Jessica, of course, falls into despair. The one who appears in front of her then is Ojar Serbian.
He appears in front of her under the pretext of comforting her about the terrible incident. That’s their first meeting.
Zaika didn’t want help from Ozar, also a carnivorous animal. However, she comes to feel love for Ozar, who silently and affectionately stays by her side.
But when their love was at its peak, she comes face to face with a shocking truth.
The fact that it was not Vita Agila, but the Serbian family who killed Zaika’s family.
Specifically, the act of Perkop Serbian.
This was also something he deliberately did to lower Agila’s status and win the hearts of the people.
According to the novel, people are really suspecting only Vita, without even knowing Perkop did such a thing.
I guess I would have thought the same in this situation.
But Perkop’s vile scheme was just at the beginning stage.
Innocent beasts were sacrificed countless times for their political maneuvering, and the Agila and Lobero families were unjustly framed.
It wasn’t just a false accusation. They even killed a large number of beasts with poison.
Wait, what was that festival again? At midnight, all the subjects gathered to dance… Ah! The Full Moon Festival!
It was definitely the Full Moon Festival held in Lobero’s territory.
“Idrun, is there a festival in Lobero where we are going?”
Since I can’t reveal what I read in the novel, I casually threw a question.
“Well, I only know about the Full Moon Festival.”
Okay, caught it right away!
“What’s that?”
I was quite cheeky. My acting seems to be getting better.
“I don’t know the details. On the day when the biggest full moon of the year rises, the wolves hold a festival.”
“The biggest full moon? So it’s after we arrive?”
“We don’t have time to leisurely participate in the festival.”
“Ah, I know. But you never know, there might be a reason we have to participate.”
“……We won’t be staying long in Central, so if you’re lucky, the time might overlap.”
“Then I hope we are lucky.”
After saying only that, I closed my mouth.
Well, we’ll deal with that when the time comes.
“So are we staying in Central tonight? I’m feeling all worn out after sleeping on the train for a few days.”
“Yes, but there’s a place we need to go before that.”
“Where?”
Idrish escorted me into the carriage that Mogus had brought without answering.
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?”
