Her previously drooping eyes now carried a faint smile.
“Did you come here alone?”
“The carriage is waiting outside. I’ll see you again soon, Miss Rosebelia.”
As I watched Daisy’s retreating figure, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But why has Edwin been so quiet since a while ago?
What caught my eye as I glanced over was Edwin, who was frozen like a statue.
“Edwin, what’s wrong with you?”
“…I think I’ve met my destiny.”
“Is that so? I’m listening.”
“It feels like a dream.”
Listening to Edwin’s murmuring voice, I burst into laughter.
“It seems like it. Congratulations.”
Even though the original changed, I thought you’d always be the same, Edwin.
But if Daisy’s ending doesn’t change, even if the two get along well…
Shaking off negative thoughts, I quickly headed to the main building where the commander’s room was.
[Star Icon]“Klein, what are you doing here?”
Ian, who had been leaning against the tree, lifted his heavy eyelids.
Reflected in his eyes was Jace, a new knight who had joined the White Knights.
“As you see, I’m just sitting here.”
“A beautiful lady was said to have come to the knight’s order earlier; did you see her?”
Ian slowly narrowed his brows.
‘A beautiful lady?’
There had been a woman who stubbornly clung to Rosebelia like a bramble.
‘Surely he’s not talking about that woman?’
A snicker escaped from his tightly closed lips.
If one were to describe someone with beauty, the person who suited that description was…
Ian recalled a few days ago when he had looked out over the sea from atop the castle wall. The view he had seen at Rosebelia’s invitation was truly beautiful.
But what had caught Ian’s attention more than that was Rosebelia’s pale face, bathed entirely in soft moonlight, her unusually glittering golden hair…
And her languid laughter, scattered by the wind.
Whenever he closed his eyes, the scene from that day came back to him. After the fleeting vision of Rosebelia had vanished, there was an odd tingling sensation at the pit of his stomach.
With a faint smile on her face, eyes closed, Rosebelia seemed as if she did not belong to this world.
I felt like she would suddenly fly away, so I unknowingly grabbed the hem of her cloak.
“Klein? Are you listening to me?”
“I’m listening. Do you know who that person is?”
Ian asked, thumping his heavy chest as if something had weighed it down.
“Rosebelia Winters was said to be the young lady of the Eliza family who saved her in the square.”
“Ah.”
When Ian pretended to know, Jace’s eyes widened.
“Klein, did you see it?”
“I did see it.”
“Senior Rosebelia is a glamorous beauty, isn’t she? They say that young lady has a delicate and pure beauty, is that true?”
“It’s not that much…….”
His casually thrown gaze caught somewhere. In the meantime, Rosebelia, who had come out of the dressing room, was chatting closely with Edwin.
When Edwin, leaning towards Rosebelia, touched her arm casually, his fingertips involuntarily curled.
‘What is this feeling?’
The sudden discomfort did not subside easily.
“Klein?”
“…….”
“What are you looking at so intensely?”
After looking at where Ian’s eyes were resting, Jace lightly tapped his shoulder with a knowing face.
“You admire Senior Rosebelia and Senior Edwin too, huh?”
“Admire?”
“I admire both of them too. My goal is to get close to the two seniors while I’m in the Knights.”
“If you admire, you want to get closer?”
Ian, who couldn’t take his eyes off Rosebelia, asked back with a dry expression.
“Of course. Since you look up to someone, you want to become friends, you want to get closer.”
For a moment, Ian’s Adam’s apple moved greatly.
“I wish I were the one closest to that person, and not anyone else?”
“Eh? If the admiration is strong, that could happen…….”
Before Jace’s words even finished, Ian shook his head. He closed his eyes as if facing his feelings and opened them.
‘So this is what admiration means.’
Naturally, the eyes following Rosebelia brightened sharply.
[Star Icon]“What? Kaiden?”
Olivia looked up at Arnold, frowning her fine brows.
“Yes. It seems like he is training separately with Schultz, who used to be Rosebelia Miss’s swordsmanship master.”
Schultz was also remembered by Olivia. He was a senior knight who had been in charge of the Winters family’s escort for quite a long time.
“Why Kaiden?”
“My lord once asked me if Kaiden would ever become skilled enough to duel with Miss Rosebelia. Perhaps my lord wants to duel with Miss Rosebelia and that’s why he sought Schultz.”
He snatched Schultz’s position because he didn’t like his close following of Rosebelia.
He could have driven him away, but he left him in the Duke’s residence to show Rosebelia.
So she could clearly see what happened to those who followed Rosebelia within the Winters family.
The warning message that if he didn’t want to end up like that, he should leave here soon was also included.
‘Kaiden and Vivian, why do they follow Rosebelia like that?’
Olivia was already on the verge of trembling just from Rosebelia, who resembled Liliana, parading around the Duke’s residence.
‘And Liliana has been dead for a long time, yet they still think of the former Duchess Liliana and Rosebelia when it comes to the Winters family.’
Born into a humble family, yet with a noticeable appearance, Liliana was the center of attention wherever she went.
Olivia still couldn’t forget the sight of Herman, whom she had long loved, falling in love with Liliana at first sight.
Whenever that memory vividly came up, the desire to completely erase the shadow of Liliana deeply rooted in this mansion consumed her.
From now on, Kaiden and Vivian should be the representatives of the Winters family.
Not Rosebelia, who inherits the blood of a humble family and has only beauty to show for it.
“Keep a close watch.”
“Yes? But Schultz’s training methods are strict.”
“Yeah, they were.”
Schultz had treated Kaiden the same as others even though he knew Kaiden was to be the next head of the Duke’s family.
‘So Kaiden was injured with minor wounds…….’
Recalling the past, a sneer crept onto Olivia’s lips.
“You entrusted me with Lord Kaiden’s training, saying that not a hair on Lord Kaiden’s head must be harmed. Certainly, if he trains with Schultz, he could get injured…….”
“So, just watch for now. It seems like a fairly good picture will be drawn.”
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?”
