As soon as the two stepped into the reception room, Benjamin rushed over. Then, without caring about the blood-stained wedding dress, he tightly embraced her.
“Ugh, lord…….!”
Yurisien mumbled that she couldn’t breathe, but Benjamin didn’t hear it.
“I thought you were dead. I was worried about you.”
He said in a low voice. In the silence that Yurisien had hidden herself, it was clear how afraid he had been.
Yurisien, who had been grumbling about feeling suffocated, closed her mouth and quietly wrapped her arms around his back. Feeling Benjamin, who held her tighter, noticing that her body hugging him was frozen, he held her even deeper and said,
“You’ll catch a cold. Damn it……. I told them to prepare warm water in the bathtub, so go take a bath and rest deeply. You’ve really been through a lot.”
“Then let go, please.”
“I don’t want to.”
While patting his back, Yurisien joked, and Benjamin firmly said,
“I’ll hold you a little longer. How scared I was. In case you went wrong.”
“I didn’t go wrong. I moved as planned.”
Yurisien, who stuck her face out from Benjamin’s shoulder and chuckled as she looked at the Rat King, who turned his head as if she was glaring at them, laughed slyly.
“No matter how much it was planned, there could still be a possibility of something going wrong. For example, if the Rat King betrayed us.”
“That wouldn’t happen. I kept checking intermittently. I called him the Rat King, and he called me Windsor, not the Lady.”
“Who can’t talk.”
Benjamin slowly let go of Yurisien. The Rat King had a face full of words he wanted to say, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. Benjamin worrying about Yurisien was somewhat natural, and now was not the time for him to argue that he was unjustly treated.
“Show me the wound a bit.”
Because Yurisien’s abdomen was soaked in blood.
“It’s impressive that you endured and stood with that wound until now.”
The Rat King said he would go and call Erugen and Daisy, who were worried outside. But he didn’t know. Yurisien’s abdomen was perfectly fine.
Yurisien, with a gleeful laugh, poked her own belly with the sharp end of a dagger. A crisp sound was heard.
“There’s no wound. According to our plan, the Rat King changed into a corset made of whale bones. It won’t be pierced by an ordinary sword. This blood is pig’s blood.”
It was one of the strategies to completely make Heathcliff give up. To be prepared to commit suicide in front of him. By the way, the person who dressed Yurisien was a maid from Hwangja Palace, purchased by Mitchell and Isaac.
“If we didn’t do that, the Prince of Hwangja would never have given up forever.”
“But it was too extreme of a plan.”
“I kidnapped and planned to marry him. This much was necessary.”
When they allied with the Rat King, the two heard Heathcliff’s absurd plan. From then on, the two quickly prepared for Heathcliff’s potential attempt to forcefully carry out the marriage. In short, this kidnapping was also the two’s scheme.
“I’ve had enough of shoving that guy into my body several times.”
“I’m sorry. But there really won’t be such an incident in the future.”
“How many times have I heard that?”
Benjamin opposed to the end, but this time, Yurisien pushed through. Benjamin, who had been firm in coming out, couldn’t resist this time. His relationship with Heathcliff was Yurisien’s. If she didn’t tie the knot herself, such a terrible situation would undoubtedly happen repeatedly. Benjamin couldn’t stop her this time. This was his love.
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?”
