As Kelita tried to rush towards the place where Gerard and Vercheria were, the guards blocked her way.
Despite pushing them away, Kelita, unable to overpower them, remained stuck on the bed.
“Why are you just letting this go? Why? We agreed not to let this happen! You promised to give Rakrakan to me!”
Gerard turned his head slightly to look at Dylan, who was standing at the forefront of the guards.
“Dylan. She’s being too loud.”
“Yes, Emperor.”
As Dylan gestured, the guards on both sides quickly restrained Kelita, as if they had been waiting for this.
Then, as if keeping a promise, they began pulling her outside.
“Why! What are you doing right now! Are you all insane?”
Kelita, unable to comprehend what had happened, looked at Gerard, Leone, Vercheria, and Rakrakan with a confused expression.
“Why, why is this happening! You promised to marry Rakrakan to me! All I wanted was that man! Just that man!”
“Didn’t you hear me say it’s noisy?”
When Gerard got angry, Dylan quickly covered Kelita’s mouth.
Glancing at the struggling Kelita, Gerard muttered while looking at her.
“Everyone wants only one thing. So how can we share it among all of us? Isn’t that right?”
“Ugh! Ugh!”
Kelita’s wide-open eyes were bloodshot.
“Now, please leave.”
She was being dragged away like a paper doll by Dylan, who was twice her size.
With her face gripped in the rough hand, she shook her head violently, giving the impression of being captivated by madness.
Vercheria looked straight ahead, watching how human greed could destroy itself.
When Kelita realized that Rakrakan’s heart was not hers, she should have turned away from that spot.
She had to accept the fact that the human heart couldn’t be obtained just by waiting for the right moment.
Vercheria, too, had waited through many lives to be with Rakrakan.
Even if love could be compromised, she never thought of letting someone else take him away.
In the end, Kelita’s fate could only be tragic.
“Making Rakrakan lose his mind and lying beside him for a while. How does that feel? Is it happiness?”
At Vercheria’s words, Kelita reached out her arms and fiercely swung them into the air.
“Ugh!”
“I hope you will find true happiness from now on, Princess Kelita.”
In the moment of bidding farewell to Kelita, who was being dragged away, her hand, brushing against Vercheria’s clothes, tightly clenched onto them.
“Ugh, ugh!”
Whether it was due to anger or a sense of injustice, tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes as she glared at Vercheria as if she wanted to kill her.
Vercheria raised her head and looked at Dylan, who was covering Kelita’s mouth.
“Where are you taking Kelita?”
Although it seemed like a question to Dylan, it was actually directed at Gerard.
“Outside the castle.”
As Gerard casually spoke, Kelita’s body stiffened as if frozen.
Gerard stared at Kelita with an indifferent gaze.
“Exile is better than confinement in the underground prison. Don’t you think so?”
As if it were nothing, he shrugged his shoulders, and when Dylan raised and lowered Kelita’s body, Gerard gazed at her again with an indifferent look.
“Ugh!”
However, Kelita didn’t let go of the piece of Vercheria’s clothes that she had clenched onto.
As if it were a lifeline, she held on with all her strength.
Kelita’s veins bulged on her arm, and it seemed like her dress would tear apart at any moment, but Vercheria didn’t waver, not even for a single step.
After waiting for a while, Vercheria eventually raised her arm and removed Kelita’s hand from her clothes.
It wasn’t a difficult task.
Kelita couldn’t have defeated Vercheria even with her strength alone.
As Kelita’s hand let go of Vercheria’s dress, Dylan mercilessly dragged Kelita outside the room.
“Huh. Now it seems to be settled.”
Gerard smirked, making eye contact with Vercheria as if affirming their agreement, and then he left with his personal guards.
“I’ll send someone tomorrow. Wait patiently. My Vercheria.”
He briefly turned his head towards the bed, where Rakrakan was lying, but that was all.
Having already won, the existence of Rakrakan no longer bothered him.
After Gerard and the guards disappeared, Leone was the last to approach.
It was the first time since revealing her blonde hair.
“Vercheria.”
“…….”
“It might be hard to believe, but I want to assure you that the current situation is the best… It may be hard to believe, but this is the safest way.”
Leone shamelessly pinched her chin and walked away.
Vercheria watched Leone’s retreating figure with fake brown hair, then spoke.
“Leone.”
Upon hearing that, Leone, as if waiting, turned around.
Unexpectedly, her expression was different from just now; it seemed to have sunk.
Vercheria’s eyes widened for a moment.
Looking at Vercheria in that state, Leone asked, “Do you resent me?”
The pupils of Vercheria, who was shaken by the unexpected situation, deepened and got trapped within the lowered eyelids.
“No.”
She calmly replied.
And added.
“I know that you absolutely despise Emperor Gerard.”
The newly revealed golden eyes calmly rested on Leone.
“You’ve lived your whole life here with the emperor you detest the most. So every moment must have been hell for you.”
Leone’s shoulders shook.
“I’ve had enough with that.”
This time, it was Vercheria who turned away from Leone first.
“So, I hope you won’t put on such a clumsy act of being parents from now on.”
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?”
