If You Want A Cheeky Seductress (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 158
“I want that too. I really do, but I can’t use the physician I brought with me right now—that’s why I’m acting like this. The queen sent ten royal physicians. I can’t possibly turn all of them to my side.”
“Exactly. Didn’t I tell you before? It’s not as if there’s no way… Heh heh. Heh. Heh. Though we can’t make the royal physicians loyal to Your Highness, we can certainly silence them.”
“Oh, how…?”
“Give them a truth serum.”
“A truth serum? Will that really work?”
“Of course. It’s an extremely potent truth serum made from monster blood.”
Retrotchika explained that even a single drop of this serum would plunge them completely out of reality into lewd, vivid hallucinations.
“Just a single drop in their drink will do. While tormented by obscene hallucinations inside the Crown Princess’s birthing chamber, they won’t be able to do anything—or even claim to have witnessed anything—to report back to the Crown Prince. No one will dare speak of what they saw there. Heh heh heh. Heh. Shame will lock their lips tight.”
“Then while they’re lost in hallucinations, I can just spirit my child away!”
Elise’s face visibly brightened now that she had found a solution.
Retrotchika promised to send the serum to Lanien as soon as it was ready and took his leave. Elise, who had been too consumed by thoughts of protecting her child to consider anything else, only remembered Roxiana after he’d gone.
‘I should’ve asked him to kill Roxiana too. Retrotchika might have been able to do it.’
Though she regretted the missed opportunity, protecting her child came first. She could deal with Roxiana later.
Elise slept peacefully for the first time in a long while. The next day, Madam Hestin secretly visited her, disguised as a palace maid. Deeply moved that Madam Hestin had gone so far as to disguise herself just for her sake, Elise listened as Madam Hestin consoled her about the queen’s attempted poisoning and added:
“If we report this to the Grand Temple, a temple trial will be held. Not even the queen can avoid the judgment of the Temple Court. Though as royalty she likely won’t face severe punishment, she’ll surely think twice before ever daring to harm Your Highness again, won’t she?”
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?”
