“Bothers you?”
Yes, yes. Continually bothers, bothers. So we can’t come now.
“Can’t come? What do you mean?”
Can’t come even if called. That woman, bad. Can’t come.
It was at that moment.
Bang bang.
“Empress Your Highness. I will enter.”
Shadow Knight Liyan knocked on the bedroom door.
Swish!
At the same time, the black bird quickly flew away.
“Liyan. I think it’s impossible to turn a blind eye to this.”
Before Liyan opened the bedroom door, Serben blocked him.
What Rasilia saw when the bedroom door opened was the scene of the two shadow knights facing each other, staring intently.
Despite both being barehanded, they conveyed the tension as if holding swords.
“The Emperor has commanded me to protect the Empress. You must have received a similar order. Return to the Imperial Palace.”
“I’m not saying I’ll defy the Imperial edict.”
Liyan looked at Rasilia over Serben’s shoulder.
“I’ll plead to the Empress. If the Empress voluntarily goes, Your Highness can’t do anything, right?”
“If you do it, is that pleading?”
“It’s not like I’m threatening the Empress with a sword to forcibly take her. I don’t even have a sword now.”
“Oh, yeah. You don’t have a sword. But that doesn’t mean you suddenly become someone else.”
“Can you step aside for now? Let me plead.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t trust that. Neither will His Highness.”
Swish!
Serben drew his sword.
“Empress, please enter. I’ll send Liyan back.”
Liyan chuckled.
“It’s better if you stay. I can’t see anything right now, and Serben can’t handle me like this. It’ll just ruin the door.”
Serben clicked his tongue.
“He’s exaggerating. I can hold on until the guards arrive.”
“It’s bravado, Your Highness. Don’t trust him; you’ll get hit from behind.”
It was unclear whether the twin knights were about to fight or were just showing off their close relationship.
Still, Rasilia was not the type to watch a sword fight over her.
“First, put the sword away. I’ll hear what’s going on.”
At those words, Liyan was suddenly angry.
“You don’t know what’s happening, now? The Blue Moon has risen!”
“So? What do you want from me?”
“Ha, are you still going to plead amnesia? You’ve forgotten what happens during the Blue Moon? So you don’t remember anything?”
She knew.
The shadow knight seemed to understand why his eyes had suddenly turned and he charged in.
That was the problem.
Knowing but being unable to do anything about it.
“Did you act this way even before I lost my memory?”
Rasilia tried hard to pretend to be calm.
The emperor’s suffering was regrettable. But if the empress had lost the mark, she wouldn’t have been a true companion in the first place.
As heartbreaking as it was, there was nothing she could do about it. Just as the empress, who loved the emperor as if she would die, had done.
“Every four years, when the blue moon rises, did you knock on my bedroom door and drag me out?”
“Wasn’t the situation different back then?”
“What was different?”
“You did not want it back then……. Damn, can’t you fulfill the empress’s duty just once? You lived doing all sorts of things, calling yourself an empress, can’t you act like an empress just for today?”
“I will,”
When the memory returns, I will do so.
It’s not your business since the emperor and I decided to do so.
That’s what I intended to say.
But my conscience hurt much more than I thought.
“Such a thing,”
That’s when it happened.
Bang!
Something shattered, and a terribly loud noise echoed.
[This is the time separator]“Who’s there!”
Serben shouted towards the corridor.
Whoosh!
The wind blew. At the same time, the lanterns and candles that brightly lit the corridor all went out.
All that could be seen was the pale blue moonlight. The alien moon that was said to rise from another world seemed to distort the entire view.
“Didn’t I ask who it is!”
Lyan held Serben, who was about to rush forward.
“Give me the sword. You protect Her Majesty the empress.”
Serben handed over the sword without a word. Lyan, holding the sword, rushed into the twisted darkness.
“Do not move.”
Serben, covering Rasilia with his back, whispered softly.
“An intruder?”
It was something they often encountered even in a small kingdom like Delararta. The empire would be no exception.
But such a loud intruder was rare.
“I can’t tell for now. But somehow,”
Serben, pausing for a moment, twisted his jawline.
“It doesn’t seem human.”
“Not human?”
“There’s no bold human who would break in making that noise when the emperor and Lyan are around.”
“Then……”
The next moment, the intruder’s identity was revealed.
Thump!
“Ugh!”
Lyan, who had rushed into the darkness, was flung back to Serben’s feet.
“Lyan? Lyan!”
Serben’s eyes widened as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Lyan was holding a broken sword with his bloodstained right arm.
“Snap out of it, Lyan! What happened?”
Serben grabbed Lyan and lifted him up.
In the meantime, the intruder walked out of the darkness.
As Serben said, it wasn’t human.
The exposed hands between the torn clothes were covered in black scales. The red nails were sharp like blades, and blood dripped from their tips.
Half of the face looked torn off, covered in blood. Bone fragments were seen protruding through the skin.
“Your Majesty! Empress! Get out of the way!”
Serben let go of Lyan and rushed forward with the broken sword in hand.
But it was in vain.
Thump!
With or without the sword, the intruder simply passed Serben. No, it happened so instantaneously that it appeared to have passed by him, but Serben’s body was smashed into the opposite wall.
The next moment, the inhuman intruder was right in front of me.
“……!”
The scream did not come out because of those golden eyes.
“Your Majesty……?”
No matter how changed the appearance, those golden eyes could not be mistaken.
“Oh…….”
……Thump.
As if in response, the transformed emperor tilted his head. As his forehead almost touched mine, his arms tightly wrapped around me.
The emperor leaned on Rasilia.
“Uh, heavy,”
……Thud!
The two people, embracing each other, fell to the ground simultaneously.
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?”
