Lawrence discovered her past life by chance when she was going through adolescence, playing with divine water and accidentally revealing all of her past lives.
At first, it was so confusing that I couldn’t distinguish whether it happened in reality or if it was something I read in a book.
However, a few days later, after encountering the presence of the absolute god in front of me, I accepted the whole truth.
Only one man.
I understood my life, which had to be lived to make Laclahan mine.
“Mother, is it really you?”
For the sake of Bercheria alone, I had no choice but to accept the life that was ruined.
Caught up in old thoughts, Kellita unexpectedly cried out.
“How dare you question me now?”
Bercheria stared at Kellita with an expressionless face.
As if she knew everything.
“When I left the tower, I made one decision.”
Outside the mist summoned by Bercheria, the sound of people murmuring could be heard.
The dense fog not only blocked the view but also thoroughly prevented anyone from entering.
Although the palace guards were causing a commotion, it would be impossible to find Kellita.
No one could enter this place, passing through the barrier created by the Goddess of Weather.
“I thought it would be nice if you came to find me after I regained all my powers. Then, at least, I wouldn’t have to fear.”
A slight smile appeared on Kellita’s lips.
“Still, it’s fortunate that you didn’t. How dare you even think of…”
“But it was a needless worry.”
The smile disappeared from Kellita’s lips.
She glared at Bercheria with intense eyes.
“What did you just say!”
“Knowing that you’re nothing special, I wouldn’t have entertained such useless thoughts.”
Bercheria’s expression remained calm without a hint of agitation.
This fact was making Kellita, or precisely, the Lawrence within her, more furious.
“Nothing special? How arrogant!”
She raised her hand as a habit, ready to strike Bercheria.
Although there were no whips or sharp weapons like in the tower, it was enough for now.
Bercheria had never rebelled against her before.
However, her hand was caught in mid-air by Bercheria, who remained expressionless.
“You, you!”
In front of the flushed Kellita, Bercheria asked emotionlessly.
“How much did you buy me for from Leonne?”
For a moment, Kellita’s face turned pale.
She wiped her eyes with a trembling hand, feigning surprise.
“W-What are you talking about!”
Bercheria recalled the conversations with the remaining Lawrence from just a while ago.
She claimed to have planned everything.
To obtain whatever Bercheria had.
Then it was a straightforward story.
Lawrence, who had only looked at Laclahan from her past life, knew better than anyone else what she wanted.
At first, I thought she was moving under the command of the absolute god, but that wasn’t the case.
There was another hidden reason for letting her escape from the tower.
“Although I was confined in the tower with the help of the absolute god, your mother wanted something even greater.”
“…What?”
“Your mother, who is terribly greedy, wouldn’t be satisfied with just Laclahan alone.”
Bercheria’s transparent golden eyes pierced through Kellita.
“When I obtained Laclahan, I also wanted the power I possessed. In that case, this continent would be yours.”
Kellita smiled brightly, as if she hadn’t understood anything.
“Bercheria, what nonsense are you talking about? Ridiculous.”
While Kellita tried to smile with her mouth, she glared at Bercheria with her eyes.
It was a truly pitiful resistance.
“Your mother’s life is very peculiar. How frustrating and difficult would it be to be born as an empress over and over again.”
“Shut up. I chose all of that. The absolute god gave me the opportunity to choose every time, you know?”
“So, this time, you ignored the absolute god and wanted to become the emperor on your own.”
Kellita’s eyes widened as if about to tear.
Bercheria, who had always taken hits as much as she struck, could not have imagined that Bercheria could see through everything to this extent.
This was too dangerous.
All the flaws she had were now exposed in front of Bercheria.
“I have no idea what Bercheria is talking about.”
The bewildered Kellita was swinging between two faces.
She looked around, full of mist, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on her lips.
“Bercheria. What nonsense. Even if you’re a goddess, this is too much. You shouldn’t be making up such unreasonable stories just to protect Wyatt.”
Kellita tried to pass by Bercheria with a bright smile.
However, she couldn’t help but stop as Bercheria grabbed her arm.
“This morning, after finishing breakfast, I followed Lawrence. I was curious about what she, who remained only as a shell after wearing the parallel butterfly, would say.”
“…?”
“If you’ve confirmed it like that, my words must be correct.”
Bercheria’s pupils felt cold.
“Because my story is all true, is that why you’re running away? Without a single word of apology to me, who sacrificed for your desires?”
This time, Kellita’s face changed noticeably.
“Are you insane? Why should I apologize to the likes of you!”
Do you know the parallel butterfly?
At best, Bercheria had imagined that Lawrence in her head would think that Kellita, who was being hit repeatedly, knew only the idea that she was using magic or deception.
She never expected that she would know about the parallel butterfly.
“Get lost!”
Kellita tried to shake off Bercheria’s hand and escape from the mist.
However, she couldn’t grasp a direction, looking around as if completely losing her sense of direction, not knowing where to go.
“It’s useless to run away anyway.”
Upon Bercheria’s voice, Kellita turned her head awkwardly, stiffening.
And upon what she discovered, Kellita’s legs lost strength, and she sat down hesitantly.
“P-Parallel butterfly…”
Bercheria, holding the parallel butterfly sparkling in a silver light, looked down at her.
Leaving behind the sight of beautiful disheveled blonde hair, the parallel butterfly fluttered its delicate wings.
“Mother.”
Bercheria asked with a faint smile on her lips.
“Have you ever wondered what would happen if this artifact were destroyed while your body is in a changed state?”
“Gasp!”
“Have you ever heard of such a thing?”
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?”
