I Became the Assassin Family's Foster Daughter (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 33
The direction from which the sound of water came was where a small artificial lake lay within the academy.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Philip ran, carrying Riche in his arms. In an instant, they arrived before the artificial lake.
Calm water, gentle ripples flowing quietly in the night breeze.
It was a scene that gave no hint anything had happened.
“Could it have been a fish?”
If a fish as large as a child had leaped above the surface and plunged back in, it might have made a similar sound.
Riche scanned the lake with such intense focus that she couldn’t even hear Philip’s voice.
Then she spotted it.
Beneath the small arched bridge—a black aura moving beneath the surface like something alive.
“Philip, over there! Someone’s fallen in!”
“What?!”
At Riche’s urgent cry, Philip stripped off his upper garment and leaped into the water.
A person? At this hour of night?
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?”

What now? They’ll both fake not knowing each other? 😆
Why telling her about his condition after she confirmed that they are NOT acquainted?
She is a little manipulation expert. Well… at least that’s what I want to believe in.

"...?"
How can you save him and cure him if you totally avoid him? Weren’t you going to eventually speak to him anyways?
"He's my younger brother, so why would you—"
Often the wrong genre is used towards Riche. Just like here.
He said: “She is my younger sister, so…”At Professor Rumbra’s words, the students stepped onto the wide platform in the
The first spell is transformation? For a beginner? Tell that to poor Alchemists who tried to make the Philosopher’s stone for roughly two thousand years 😅
