I Think My Daughter Has Regressed (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 114
Because it had already grown late into the evening, darkness enveloped the corridor as soon as the door opened.
Blake’s veins stood out sharply on the back of his hand as a tense silence settled. Beyond the open door lay only darkness.
Not even a single glint of light was visible within the shifting shadows.
From within that darkness, a pair of dress shoes suddenly emerged first.
“I hadn’t realized you were already awake, Mother-in-law. I rushed over immediately, fearing something might go awry—but alas, my timing was terribly off, and I’ve been waiting here quite a while. Heh heh.”
His pitch-black eyes crinkled into a gentle smile.
Blake instantly drew his sword from its sheath and pointed the blade at the man’s throat.
“You seem like a guest who shouldn’t have come.”
Recognizing the man, Blake asked warily, on full guard.
Yet even under the threat of Blake’s blade, the man with the pitch-black eyes didn’t flinch; he merely tilted his head slightly to the side.
“Oh dear… I may have to question that painter’s talent. My daughter-in-law is so stunning, yet he failed to capture her full beauty.”
Even as Blake’s sword tip gleamed sharply, the man with the pitch-black eyes moved casually to the side, seemingly oblivious to any threat.
“Stay where you are. You may be the Emperor elsewhere, but here you’re merely a dangerous foreigner.”
At Blake’s words, two more hooded figures revealed themselves. Their gazes, already displeased, now carried a palpable hostility—but perhaps having already received orders, they made no special move against Blake’s blade.
Finally, the pitch-black eyes turned directly toward Blake.
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?”

Poor Ethan. To live with an insane father or as a figurehead… I actually it’s best if he and Lucy care about each other enough for a happy marriage.
Yes, such realization is good, even great, but you are 8-years old. No matter the “must be perfect”, you are still only 8.
I hold on to hope that Ethan has a happy life, no matter who his partner may be.
