“No, I’m not! I don’t know anything! They just, promised to pay, pay a huge amount if successful…!”
“What? That’s even more despicable. You almost ruined a woman’s life because of you.”
Would it be a relief if only the woman was ruined?
The man who said something incomprehensible glared at the tracker and the marriage contract, then tucked it back into his pocket.
“You said it was for money? Then you should have been tempted when we said we’d pay more. Then you wouldn’t have lost your leg.”
“That’s…!”
“Just know that. I’m going.”
“Wwait. You know that, wait, wait, Ahhhhh!!!”
Inside the warehouse from which the man had escaped, a thick smell of blood followed the tracker’s scream.
Walking down the bright street and bathed in the warm sun, the man didn’t look like someone who had just told a terrifying story. He had a cheerful face. The man shifted his steps and thought.
‘Heh, he loves money. Did he think I wouldn’t know he’s a rat?’
A rat, that referred to a dark family that the temple had once wiped out.
‘What tracker can fend off skilled assassins, let alone kill two? You have to make a believable excuse.’
As he thought, the tracker wasn’t just a tracker. If he had been, the Copefrador wouldn’t have missed him.
‘Kendally, I don’t know what that woman did, but to hire a rat.’
No matter how much he dug, he didn’t seem like such a person…
Perhaps the relationship before and after was reversed. Someone from the dark guild might have gone to Kendally on their own. That meant there was a big shot behind Yuri Hsien’s absurd marriage, who could doubledeal with the rats.
‘This, this doesn’t seem like an ordinary matter.’
The man swallowed a sigh and massaged his stiff neck.
‘I’ll have to let the temple know that rats are roaming around…’
He thought of helping with love for fun, but he might have to wage war against the rats.
While deep in thought, his nimble and lively steps didn’t change.
Soon, he arrived at a tavern that hadn’t yet opened for business. Nevertheless, the man didn’t hesitate and headed towards the liquor storage. There, pushing an oak barrel aside, he revealed a secret door.
“Hmm~”
He went downstairs humming a tune, and soon after, he met the one who had come to him.
“Captain! I found the marriage contract!”
He shouted with a bright voice.
Though he had come underground, bright light was pouring in through the wide window. Not to mention, the man had just been walking under the spring sun, but outside the window, snowflakes were falling.
The captain, who had been admiring the scene of the snow falling heavily, turned at the sound of someone calling me. But before the captain could speak, someone threw a dart.
“Argh! That was dangerous!”
A man who leaped like a cat to dodge the dart shouted, and the sound of clicking tongues was heard.
“Clicking your tongue! That’s too much, Michel!”
“It’s too much indeed. I’ve told you not to call me so informally so many times, Ivan. A dart in the head that doesn’t understand words is deserved.”
Michel said coldly. Ivan pouted his lips.
“You call the guild master of the Coperador ‘captain’, then what should you call him?”
Ivan, who had been grumbling for a moment, brightened his black eyes that lifted at the corners. Then, looking at the guild master who was picking up the two masks on the desk, he joked,
“Ah, my dear B?”
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?”
