I Decided to Let You Go (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 83
“Where is the princess?”
Upon returning to the mansion, Zieghart found himself unknowingly asking about Natasha’s whereabouts.
The servants, whose faces he had assumed were merely dimmed by the gloomy weather, grew even more somber at this simple question. They hesitated, unable to answer directly, and shuffled their feet awkwardly.
Never before had they reacted with such tension—usually, when the duke inquired after his wife’s condition, they were merely puzzled as to why he kept asking.
Overwhelmed by a sudden surge of unease, Zieghart pressed them impatiently.
“If you don’t intend to test my frayed patience, speak up at once.”
“W-well… it’s just that… Her Grace the Duchess abruptly left the mansion without a word several days ago and hasn’t returned since.”
Only then did they confess that the duchess had gone missing.
Hasn’t returned?
Unconsciously, Zieghart glanced down at the floor. Snow had softly piled atop his boots. Outside, a relentless blizzard had raged all day, drowning out every other sound.
She left without so much as a word in this weather?
He immediately headed straight for Natasha’s room. He thoroughly searched her wardrobe and dressing table, looking for any sign of missing items—but found nothing suspicious.
She surely hadn’t sold off her jewelry to fund a trip back to the duchy. And judging by the fact that all her heavy coats remained untouched in the wardrobe, she hadn’t simply stepped out for a brief errand either.
Then where on earth had she gone?
“Mobilize the Aschardt Knights and find the princess.”
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?”

Zieghart knows Natasha’s way of thinking, now he realizes she’s going to try to escape.
How could Natasha trust the Grand Duke when she knew he had made a deal with Zieghart ?!
I didn’t think Grand Duke Kshant had these intentions. It turned out that he was just as bad as Emperor Kail.
