In the end, I curled up next to him in a small corner of the bed.
‘Ah, life. To think I’d end up sleeping all scrunched up like this.’
I worried about my future married life until sleep took me.
[This is the time separator]The chirping of birds was loud.
The tweeting sounded just like Yoyo Hwa crying.
“Ugh…”
I rolled over.
Strange, the bed seemed unusually wide.
There should have been another person lying here…
Slowly, my head began to spin.
My eyes snapped open.
“Your Highness, Your Grace, may I come in if you are awake?”
The sound of someone knocking on the door was heard.
I looked around for Nathaniel.
On the flat bed, I spotted something protruding.
I quickly pulled back the blanket.
“Chirp, tweet!”
There was the baby dragon, angrily pecking at the floor.
So the bird noise I heard earlier was Nathaniel’s cry?
“Your Grace! Empress Lenisha has summoned you for her morning greetings.”
[Don’t let them in!]Nathaniel looked uncharacteristically flustered.
[This form is known only to my father and you.]Why doesn’t everyone else have a competent assistant like him?
Panicking, I shouted at the door.
“Just wait a moment.”
In my anxiety, I grabbed and shook the dragon, mumbling,
“What should we do? How can you turn back into your original form?”
[If I knew that, I wouldn’t have to hide all the time.]
Even his writing seemed irritated.
Indeed, if he knew that, he wouldn’t be like this now.
I was racking my brains, but there was nothing I could do as I’m neither a magician nor a dragon expert.
“Your Grace, I’m sorry, but I must come in.”
What the heck, why are they coming into my room like that!
I leaped in front of the little dragon to hide him.
There was a puff sound, and smoke billowed, and Nathaniel appeared, transformed into a human.
Before I could be relieved that we hadn’t been caught, Nathaniel’s hand gripped my waist.
With his other hand, he pulled my bathrobe a bit, pressing his body against mine.
Finally, the door opened, and two maids entered.
Nathaniel placed his lips on my exposed shoulder and glared at them.
“You two, from tomorrow on, don’t come into the palace.”
“We have committed a grave sin, Your Highness.”
The two dropped to their knees and bowed their heads.
“If you don’t want to die, be careful not to get caught.”
“Your Highness, please forgive us just this once.”
The two of them pressed their heads to the floor, apologizing.
I was taken aback by their excessive reaction.
“Tell them to leave.”
I whispered into Nathaniel’s ear.
“Both of you, get out.”
With a bowed salute, they staggered out of the room.
As soon as the door closed completely, my strength drained away.
“Sigh… I really thought I was going to die.”
Nathaniel was still looking at me with an unhappy expression.
“Aren’t you going to get down?”
“Gasp, yes… yes.”
I suddenly realized that I was still straddling his body.
And my hands were neatly placed on his bare chest, which made me jump off in shock.
He sighed, closed his chest with a robe, and disappeared into the bathroom.
‘What the hell, why is he acting like I’m some kind of pervert?’
But why did the Empress call us so early in the morning?
‘Don’t tell me… No, it can’t be.’
I suppressed my anxiety and hurried to get ready.
[This is the time separator]Nathaniel and I, summoned to the palace, waited for Empress Lenisha.
“Has this ever happened before?”
“No way.”
Certainly, here’s the translated passage:
Nathaniel’s response made me more uneasy.
Is this what they call Sieworld?
When I thought about it, it really was the worst situation.
The brother of the man who disgraced her daughter at the wedding hall.
‘This is something that would only happen in a drama!’
What’s even more worrying is that Nathaniel came along.
The relationship between the Empress and Nathaniel was the worst.
I was worried that I might say something wrong here and get stuck in a situation where I couldn’t do anything between them.
“Her Majesty the Empress and Princess Anais are coming in.”
At the words of the master of ceremonies, I rose from my seat.
Surprisingly, Nathaniel didn’t get up.
‘What? This person!’
As I glared at him, he reluctantly got up.
The Empress stopped for a moment as she saw Nathaniel, but soon sat down nonchalantly.
“Were you well last night, Your Majesty the Empress, Your Highness?”
“Yes. I married off my grown son. Even though his partner is a girl from an enemylike family.”
Her words were sharp.
I pretended not to know and smiled sweetly.
One cannot spit at a smiling face.
“Congratulations on becoming a royal family member, Your Highness the Crown Princess.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Princess Anais looked downcast.
It made me furious to think that it was all Maximilian’s fault.
He was a guy who was not helpful in life.
Feeling a sense of guilt, I resolved to take care of Princess Anais more from now on.
The first impression was not good, but it wouldn’t be bad to get along well together.
After finishing a cup of tea, the Empress opened her mouth.
“The Crown Princess is still young and doesn’t know much, so I’ll have to teach her a lot. Take this.”
The master of ceremonies handed me a long piece of paper.
It was filled with a morning greeting schedule starting at five o’clock.
‘What is this? Is this the Joseon era?’
Even though it’s Kromance, isn’t this feeling a bit malicious?
What to do with this, I was pondering, Nathaniel asked the Empress with a sarcastic tone.
“Since when did you receive morning greetings to do this to her?”
Nathaniel’s provocation began.
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?”
