“It might be best to confirm.”
“Ha……”
Zen barely held back a giggle at the absurdity.
Thinking he seriously believed I was a man in women’s clothing.
‘Ha, really…… I thought he didn’t know women, but to this extent.’
His perfect and meticulous handling of affairs.
His handsome appearance that receives ardent support from the duchy’s people.
The shield of the empire protecting the north after Hiedegger.
Even Casus had areas he knew absolutely nothing about.
It was ‘women’.
Casus seemed completely ignorant of how the female species think and live, what they like and dislike, and how to treat them.
It was a level that made even Zen, who had barely any experience with romance, stick out his tongue.
“Um, usually, that’s the case.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Typically, women like flashy and sparkling accessories, but I think that the lady will like something different.”
Zen recalled Atia, who tied her long silver hair tightly and ran around in comfortable clothes.
Her figure hopping around freely like a rabbit in the northern snow mountains.
“It seems that the lady prefers active things. Unlike most women, she doesn’t even prefer clothes that cling.”
Casus nodded in agreement with Zen’s words.
The women of the empire all wore suffocating dresses that clearly revealed their slender waists and body lines.
On the other hand, Atia wore not flashy dresses, but simple and comfortable trousers.
Clothing optimized for outdoor activities, like men would wear.
“The duchess may have something she wants to do, rather than wanting to look good for your Highness.”
“She doesn’t want to look good for me?”
“Frankly, it seems she has absolutely no interest.”
When Zen clearly stated, Casus narrowed his eyebrows as if to deny.
“No. She said before that she wants to see my body.”
“Ah, yes……. ”
“She even said she wants to touch my body just a while ago. And now she doesn’t care?”
“Did she give up?”
“Give up?”
“Yes. She probably completely gave up because there’s no chance. It’s a waste of needless energy.”
“She wouldn’t say such things if she saw my body properly.”
“……. ”
“She must be saying that because she hasn’t seen properly. Once she sees, she can never give up.”
It seemed like a sort of competitive spirit was subtly boiling up from deep within Casus.
When did she want to touch and see my body, and now all interest has completely vanished?
‘How much time has passed since she said that.’
That said.
Atia’s gaze and expression had changed a lot since then.
Indifferent gaze like looking at a stone.
Even though he didn’t know women, even Casus could notice how she was looking at him.
‘A man in women’s clothing…….’
The strange war cry and surprising techniques she was showing off in the training ground.
And what about her skill to entertain with that small, red mouth.
The character named Atia was someone he was seeing for the first time in his life.
It felt like dealing with a new kind of human, not the same species.
Hence, Casus concluded that she was ‘a man in women’s clothing’.
“Hoo……. ”
Casus let out a short sigh.
The already unknowing mind of his became even more tangled and complicated.
It would just hurt more to keep thinking about it.
“Zen.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“I think I need to confirm properly tonight.”
“What are you talking about, Your Highness?”
“We have to hold the unfinished night.”
Casus’s deep blue eyes turned towards the mansion.
[This is the time separator]Meanwhile.
Inside Hiedegger’s office, only a bonetwisting sound echoed in the silence.
“Father, please bear with it a little.”
Hiedegger, who had taken off his top to receive a massage, was once again admiring his daughterinlaw’s discernment and skills.
Not only was she accurately pinpointing the problem areas, but she was also telling him how to solve them.
“Here I go. It might hurt a little.”
Crack!
With one hand, she held Hiedegger’s shoulder and with the other hand, twisted his head in the opposite direction.
At that moment, a thunderous noise, as if from a thunderstorm, rang out from the thick area around Hiedegger’s neck.
Because of his robust frame and colossal chest, advanced techniques were necessary for attending to his body.
On the surface, nothing seemed wrong.
However, as she skimmed her fingertips over various parts of Heidegger’s body, areas in need of adjustment continued to emerge.
Without hesitation, Atia targeted those spots precisely.
Crack! Crack!
An even louder sound of bones echoed than before.
Heidegger slightly furrowed his brow at the pain.
“Uh……uhum…….”
The gentleness of the aroma massage was merely a decoy.
The comforting aroma that calms the mind and the soft touch of Atia that melts the body.
Heidegger had no choice but to disarm himself again.
He initially thought he would only receive a simple massage, but once it started, it was not easy to escape.
Heidegger sank into thought.
‘What kind of life has this child lived?’
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?”
