They looked excited. Matthias clenched and unclenched his fist, finding the situation odd.
‘It’s not robbers. There’s no chance robbers have infiltrated already. They’re all under surveillance.’
He hid his presence and quietly concealed himself in the darkness.
The two maids and Cien were unaware of Matthias’ appearance. Therefore, they were happily conversing.
Cien was the most excited. Through the crack in the slightly opened door, Cien commanded solemnly.
“Now, follow me!”
“What, what should we follow?”
Hearing the naive voice, Matthias slightly narrowed his eyes.
The maids of the northern turret were mostly knight descendants.
They were mostly focused on exerting effort. That is, they were quite naive.
And their naive gaze… Matthias knew that gaze very well.
‘Yes, a gaze bewitched by Cien.’
However, he didn’t expect the maids to have fallen for Cien already.
Was there a secret he didn’t know about?
Matthias held his breath, quietly observing the two maids and Cien. Cien puffed her chest out and proclaimed.
“Lady Cien is noble!”
“No, noble?”
The maid blinked several times and tilted her head. Cien sighed deeply.
“Noble, no, no, nobl…!”
The maid next to her clapped once and exclaimed.
“Lady Cien is noble!”
The other maid also blinked and shouted.
“Lady Cien is noble!”
Cien, like a little devil, smiled innocently and curtsied. The maids sitting beside Cien laughed awkwardly.
‘So even the maids are all on Cien’s side now. It seems they realize she’s cute because her eyes are so big.’
When Matthias was calculating when to enter the room,
“Okay. Then I’ll tell you where the coconut fruits grow.”
Coconut fruit? Hearing the strange words, he paused in his steps. That fruit was something Matthias fed Cien every day for her health. And…
“Clever, Cien.”
Having figured out the full story, he decided to enter the room.
He was planning to go into the room as soon as he saw Cien’s round eyes sparkling until he paused.
“Really?”
“Thank you, Lady Cien!”
“Mm. But you have to play with me.”
“Oh, of course!”
The maids were nodding at Cien as if bewitched.
Did she secure friends to play with first?
Cien seemed to be adjusting to this mansion in a normal and cute way.
As expected, my daughter was unbearably adorable. Matthias chuckled softly and eventually stepped into the room.
“Cien.”
He approached and stroked Cien’s round forehead.
The round forehead of Cien that no one else could stroke.
No one among the maids praising Cien’s nobility could touch Cien.
Feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart, he bowed his head to Sien and asked,
“Sien. Have you become friends with the maids?”
“Uhhuh.”
He spoke forcefully.
“But how about sleeping with Dad today?”
“Uhhuh! I want to sleep together every day.”
Matthias smiled contentedly.
In his arms, the little body emitted the warm smell of a fiveyearold baby.
She was his adorable daughter, whom he would guide to the most beautiful place and love forever.
The maids stared agape at the sight of such mother and daughter.
Prince Matthias had such a side to him!
They were sure they had died and gone to hell.
Matthias cast a cold glance at the maids.
It was a warning to keep his identity a secret.
[This is a time separator.]On the other hand, I, nestled in my father’s arms, laughed merrily.
‘Such naive maids!’
The maid conquest was a great success.
I was lucky.
The small village where my father and I were located was full of coconut fruits, the raw material for protein powder.
Our house yard was also full of coconuts, so it’s a done deal.
‘Once I explained what coconut fruits look like, everyone’s eyes sparkled.’
They clung tightly to me and held my hand as I promised to give them a little bit at a time.
It was always important to push and pull in human relationships.
‘I need to think more about what these evil family people are plotting, who the prince and princesses are, but I feel sleepy in my dad’s arms.’
The penalty from the gods for being born with memories of a past life came to mind in my dulling consciousness.
‘Humans with special memories of the past are a threat to the world, so it’s inevitable that they receive penalties.’
I had a smaller build than other babies, underdeveloped body, and mental issues where I would blink and become a real baby.
It was not a big deal.
I curled up like a little golden hamster and murmured softly.
“Dad, the coconut fruits?”
“Uhhuh. You need it.”
“Uhhuh.”
“When Sien sleeps, I’ll bring it right away.”
My dad spoke innocently. I grinned and whispered to my dad.
“Uhhuh! Put it in my pocket. Then Sien’s going to sleep, Dad.”
I yawned softly and buried my face in my dad’s chest. It smelled sweet. It was the smell my dad always emitted.
My innocent dad, like a simple country farmer.
My wonderful dad who whispers a lullaby in my ear every day.
How could such a kind and innocent person be the son of the devillike Mirumod? I almost teared up thinking about how hard it must have been for Dad while he was in Mirumod.
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?”
