The favorability system that shows the emotions towards me has also been applied to me!
‘There’s still hope.’
10 was a level that could be recovered with an appropriate gift or a few words.
‘Maybe I can persuade him!’
I hastily opened my mouth.
“Your Grace, I first must apologize for intruding so rudely. But I have…….”
“That’s enough.”
Hades cut off my words.
“There’s no need for useless words when I have no intention of returning it.”
At the same time his words ended, an entirely disagreeable sentence floated into view.
20 (An underdeveloped piece of garbage)
State Description: Yikes! He despises you. Avoid him before the relationship reaches its worst, quickly!
My heart raced.
I would usually follow the text’s advice and avoid him for the time being, but now was not the time.
I had only one day left.
If I were robbed of Denesor, I would die miserably.
In my haste, I blurted out an absurd lie.
“I am the chosen one of the holy sword Denesor! I alone can unleash the true value of the holy sword.”
No sooner had I uttered the words than I realized the great mistake I had made, but it was too late.
Hades’s lips twisted, and a sarcastic word flowed out.
“You’ve gone completely mad.”
He approached me slowly. My whole body trembled.
There was nowhere left to hide, nowhere to retreat.
Why had I told such a lie?
If I had been chosen by the holy sword, I would not be groveling like this.
Swinging the holy sword with rising strength, he would have resisted Hades.
30 (Enemy)
Status Description: He considers you an enemy. At this point, you have two choices. Stand against him or run away.
If you fight, you’ll obviously lose, and if you run away, you’ll obviously get caught!
He screamed inwardly, but like it or not, Hades was rapidly approaching.
‘I need time.’
It’s impossible to defeat Hades, but if he can distract his attention just enough to pass through the door he’s guarding …!
‘Yes, I had that.’
I took out a vase of appropriate size from the shelf next to me and shook it with all my might.
Hades stopped in his tracks and looked at me with an incredulous gaze.
“Do you think that vase is some kind of magic tool? Unfortunately, it’s just ordinary pottery.”
Shaken about ten times.
Hades was about to reach out to subdue me as he came closer.
Bang!
The vase I shook and threw exploded in the air, emitting dark powder.
It wasn’t a bomb disguised as a vase that had exploded.
‘An Easter Egg helped.’
Easter Egg.
Elements hidden by game developers for fun, without affecting the actual progress of the game.
Clicking on an ordinary decorative item more than ten times at light speed, causing a small explosion that inflicts minor damage, was one of the Easter Eggs.
It wasn’t an effective attack, but the explosion was enough to surprise Hades.
I quickly opened the door and ran out before the dust settled.
‘I need to escape the castle right now!’
The structure of the castle was clear in my mind, so the escape route quickly came to mind.
The problem was this miserable body.
Angelica’s body couldn’t even handle running down the corridor.
I staggered, leaning against the wall, then my legs gave way, and I fell to the ground.
Even with the possession of Denesor and the lifting of the gargoyle’s curse, the body was originally weak.
My vision blurred, my head was dizzy, and my breath was catching in my throat.
“What a disappointment.”
A cold voice sounded nearby.
“I thought you’d run farther… Was that pathetic magic your last desperate effort?”
I raised my head with the last of my strength.
Hades Croitner was coming down the corridor towards me.
A small number blinked on his chest along with some writing.
50 (No Resurrection)
Status Description: What on earth have you done? He thinks you’re human trash that can’t even be resurrected!
One thing was certain, though unclear.
I was utterly screwed.
A lot.
There was no way to restore the favor that had fallen into the abyss once.
Now Hades will kill me without mercy.
Tears rolled down my frozen cheeks in terror.
I closed my eyes tightly.
‘Is this how I die?’
Will I be able to return if I die?
Will I be able to escape this terrible nightmare and return to the real world…
Just as I accepted reality and let go of everything.
Something vibrated on the ground.
No, not something…
‘…!’
My eyes widened.
The holy sword Denesor was vibrating, emitting a pale blue light.
I reached out, as if enchanted, to the hilt of Denesor.
Zing.
A thrill similar to that of an electric shock flowed through my body, simultaneously making it strangely light.
The body that was so burdensome to move just moments ago was now unthinkable.
Since becoming Angelica, an energy I had never felt before was filling my entire body.
I intuitively knew.
The lie that I was chosen by the sacred sword had turned into truth!
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?”
