One was that the number of knights absolutely entrenched in the Royal Castle decreased, and the other was that as the number of knights decreased, the probability of Greta revealing her true colors increased.
Yurisien was the one who first suggested this stratagem.
[In this situation where we haven’t completely identified the betrayers within Coporado, continuously pushing Ivan and Mitchell out seems inefficient.] [But if it’s not those two, we can’t catch Greta Hwangbi as the illegitimate child.] [So, it’s better to approach from a different angle. Why do we have to catch her?] [What are you talking about?] [Just make the opponent bring that evidence.]To catch a tiger, go into the tiger’s den. No matter how much effort is made from the outside, there are limits to what can be achieved, and it can never become the tiger’s throat. Yurisien said that.
“No, just as Lady predicted, Hiscliff glared and rushed out as soon as he heard. Now, we just need to handle the knights that occasionally come here from the bushes. Isn’t the situation a bit better?”
“This really won’t stop until I die….”
Mitchell, with a headache expression, tilted his head. Well, it was quite like Ivan to say such a thing. Truly the privilege of a child. Exhaling as if bursting, Mitchell, looking at Ivan with an expression that seemed to say he was going to die, explained like teaching.
“Lady became bait. Do you think His Highness is not aware of it?”
“Hmm….”
“Did we look so incompetent and pathetic that Lady volunteered to become bait? We’ve obtained this opportunity now. So, shouldn’t we make the most of it?”
“I know, but….”
“Right now, this moment is more important and serious than ever.”
Mitchell fiercely attacked the passing knight. Ivan, with his lips pouting, also aimed at the neck of the knight glancing from the opposite side.
“And this stratagem is not everything. In the end, we couldn’t find ‘him’ in SouthHood.”
“Ah….”
“If you meet His Highness, look for the person Lady and His Highness were looking for in SouthHood. If not in SouthHood, they must have been in the Royal Castle.”
“Always working, we are.”
Ivan sighed, shoulders drooping as if there was no energy left. Mitchell found him pitiful, but at the same time, his heart trembled ruthlessly.
Even though the childlike appearance was still prominent, Mitchell could no longer see Ivan only as an innocent little brother as before. In fact, she still treated him like an immature younger brother, but in her eyes, Ivan seemed like a capable man.
‘Don’t get caught.’
If caught, dealing with this young one, who was like a runaway locomotive, would be unbearable, and there was no guarantee that I would be able to endure and stand firm within that chaos. Even now, I am being manipulated enough.
Mitchell, with determination, confirmed Benjamin, who was following the path she had cleared in advance.
Hyscliff heard the rumor and rushed to the townhouse.
When she heard the news, Greta could hardly contain her boiling anger and almost chased after Hiscliff.
‘Unable to help, let alone, how can he be so obsessed with a single woman…!’
Greta, pacing in the middle of the overturned bedroom, suppressed the anger ringing through her spine. There were no maids hit by randomly thrown household items, bleeding from their foreheads. Greta’s mind was busy calculating the situation.
‘In Windsor, there is a prince, and Windsor’s knights will take his side. If Hiscliff loses to Windsor’s knights, the momentum of the Prince faction nobles will be broken. It must not result in defeat.’
So, Greta had already ordered to send more troops in addition to those already sent. However, at the same time, she strongly felt that this could be a trap. The empty castle without escorting knights is nothing more than a deceptive fortress.
‘If I were Benjamin, I wouldn’t miss this opportunity….’
Moreover, in Benjamin’s hands, there is the boy who has miraculously returned to life—this boy who was found in the Earl of Everrium’s territory. Greta did not know what Benjamin had discovered in the Everrium domain.
‘If he happened to know the secret of my birth….’
It would be the worst-case scenario, but it was not an entirely unlikely possibility. She had to be prepared.
Greta anxiously bit her nails.
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?”
