Shallen was blind.

He was igniting a fire again, unaware of Kasalyn’s already tattered and repeatedly slashed wounds.

Unaware of the consequences that would eventually return to him.

After the storm had passed, Kasalyn, with a face as empty as a ruin, silently did Rose’s work.

It was only after half a day had passed that she realized her forehead was burning with fever.

Yet, she felt no pain.

Her heart, torn to shreds, was in far greater agony.

Meanwhile, Rose, who had gone out with Shallen and promised to return early, was nowhere to be seen, even as the sunset turned the sky a fiery red.

Wondering if she was the only one waiting, the housekeeper of the queen’s palace came and asked cautiously where the queen was.

It was time to prepare dinner, and she seemed to want to know how to proceed.

Not wanting to burden her with kitchen duties, Kasalyn said she would check and forced her heavy body up.

“Do you know where the queen is right now?”

Asking the guard at the queen’s palace gate, he seemed slightly troubled, then hesitantly pointed towards a path leading to the inner garden.

“A few hours ago, His Majesty and she went that way.”

“Thank you.”

Kasalyn followed the narrow path, untouched by the gardener’s hand.

The more she walked, the more familiar it felt.

‘This is where Shallen used to take me when we were dating.’

Kasalyn’s steps slowed and then stopped abruptly.

A small secret garden well known to most but all too familiar to Kasalyn.

From inside, she heard Shallen and Rose’s laughter, interspersed with occasional breathless sighs.

“Your Majesty, I’m embarrassed.”
“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about between husband and wife. You still seem like a shy girl in my presence.”

“Whenever I stand before you, my heart inevitably flutters.”

“With every word so kind and gentle, you know how to make a husband happy. Now, show me more of your beautiful skin. We have plenty of time. Our love is eternal.”

“Really? Will you love Rose forever?”

“Of course. A man doesn’t go back on his word. Even if it means giving up the throne, I swear to God I’ll cherish only you.”

The same place.

The same air.

The same confession.

But a different woman.

Just a few months ago, Kasalyn had lain on the same rock where Rose now lay.

Listening to the confession he just made to Rose, she had firmly believed it to be an undeniable truth.

Nothing had changed.

Only the object of Shallen’s desire had shifted.

‘I should have stayed and worked in the room.’

Kasalyn hastily averted her gaze from the two intertwined on the grass and fled the garden.

Surprisingly, she felt numb.

It’s curious how, when the shock surpasses a certain limit, one becomes eerily calm.

“I wish the grand festival would come sooner.”

To see beautiful landscapes in a foreign country without the lingering memories of Shallen and to engage in meaningless conversations with strangers.

Perhaps then the fever burning on her forehead would eventually fade away.

“The Emperor of the Lernel Empire, I hear he’s still single?”

“I wonder what kind of extraordinary lady will become the wife of a man at the pinnacle of power?”

“Whoever she is, she’ll be the luckiest woman in the world.”

Since morning, the maids were abuzz with talks about the neighboring country’s emperor.

Rumors had spread far and wide that during the 35-day grand festival, Emperor Parnes might be looking for a bride.

Noble ladies with suitable statuses were already sharpening their claws to catch the emperor’s eye.

‘Of course, it has nothing to do with me.’

Kasalyn casually listened to the maids’ excited voices as she helped Rose into the carriage.

“What are you doing? Get in.”

Shallen, ready to leave as well, approached and spoke.

Kasalyn, avoiding eye contact with him as much as possible, responded in an emotionless voice.

It was still hard for her to be alone with him, even after all this time since the marriage.

“I will ride separately.”

“No, that’s not possible. We didn’t prepare a spare carriage. Come here.”

Pretending to be a gentleman, he reached out his hand to help her into the carriage.

Kasalyn, about to retort that she would rather ride in a luggage carriage, closed her mouth. It was obvious he would enforce his will under royal command.

Reluctantly, Kasalyn looked at his outstretched hand as if it were vile, then boarded the carriage on her own.

He slowly opened and closed his now redundant hand, then sat silently beside Rose.

“Let’s depart.”

The carriage, adorned with the Khan Royal Family’s emblem, started to move with a jolt.

Kasalyn numbly gazed out at the passing scenery, leaving a blurry trail.

Unaware that this journey to the Lernel Empire would completely change her life.

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?”
