Last year. Elysia, who had seen the useless selfdefense lesson of the knights, had been teaching her daughter the true selfdefense tactics.
As the lady of the ducal family, an exclusive spirit user of the royal family, and even a strategist of the empire, she had her daughter sit on her lap and educated her thoroughly, starting from the easy methods.
Oh oh as expected of our lady…!
The Artina Knights looked at their lady with respect.
Indeed, what they taught seemed much more useful than their selfdefense tactics.
“That’s right. All the responsibility is on Artina. Whatever it is.”
Hugo also smiled satisfactorily, stroking his daughter’s head.
“Take care. Our baby. Don’t stray from Sir Charon and Cedric.”
Arcan kissed Evelia’s forehead and said.
Having to leave his little sister and head to the royal palace. He felt like tossing away the heavy duty that he so cherished.
“Sir Charon, young master, please take care of our young lady.”
“Don’t worry, Vivian!”
Charon nodded his head in silence, and Cedric confidently shouted with a booming voice.
“Eve will be back!!”
Evelia waved her hands back and forth towards her family and the servants of the ducal house.
She had started learning swordsmanship, and she even remembered to bring a short dagger hidden in her hood.
The bearshaped bag hanging behind her was stuffed full of Evelia’s pocket money.
Charon and Cedric followed Evelia, who was running out excitedly, and Edin and two other knights followed them quietly, keeping a low profile.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]When the sun was about to set, that’s when the real festival of blessings began.
Normally, the festival of blessings continues until dawn the next day, but Evelia was only allowed until 11 p.m.
Even though the sun hadn’t completely set yet, there were beautiful magicmade lanterns floating in the air.
The smell of various skewers being grilled flowed from the wagons.
People were singing, dancing, and playing instruments all around the square.
People were cheering for them.
There were so many people walking down the street that if Evelia didn’t announce her existence with her yellow hood, she would surely have been stepped on here and there.
“Huaa!”
Evelia, who was looking around her surroundings with her mouth wide open, looked like she could be pickpocketed hundreds of times.
Charon kept a special watch on his master’s small and precious money bag, wary of people approaching.
“Eve, hand.”
“Wow, that… Uh, here’s my hand!”
Whether it was her hand or her foot wasn’t important.
The shining restaurant in front of Evelia was exactly the restaurant, ‘Venice’, recommended by Ludwig.
“There! There! Let’s go there!”
Despite it not being dinner time, the restaurant was filled with people, and there were even about ten people lined up.
Charon was about to naturally walk into the store and present his identity card that signaled he was from the Artina family.
Once the identity card was shown, a place would be prepared immediately in the most secret location of the restaurant.
It was only natural. No matter where, no matter what, the princess and the young master waiting was something that should not happen in this empire.
But Charon’s actions were immediately stopped by his master, his young lady.
“Charon! There’s a line. We have to wait.”
The young lady knew well not to abuse her position as a high noble to dominate unfairly.
Sometimes Charon found that regrettable, yet he also found it extraordinarily noble.
Which noble in this empire would have a pure heart like his master?
“I made a mistake. I’m sorry, young lady.”
Carron respectfully bowed his head toward Evelia.
“Um… you may… go first…”
Through the exchanged conversation, it was easy for people to infer that they were nobility, and they gave way to Evelia.
For the commoners, it was better to yield without resistance to prevent any mishaps.
Those who were dressed somewhat shabby for a visit to this restaurant seemed to have come out for a special meal at an unusual place to celebrate the Blessing Festival with their family.
Evelia shook her head gently.
“The Blessing Festival should be a good festival for everyone.”
“How admirable, our child.”
The immediate response was a natural downplay befitting a highranking noble, but the content was straight.
The harmony of the respectful servant, who did not hesitate to pat the young lady’s head, was also undaunted.
Although they did not know who these noble children were, if all the nobility were like them, it would have been a much better empire to live in.
People in the queue smiled brightly.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After waiting for about 30 minutes, Evelia, who entered Fenecia, ordered the ‘Rest Er Ev’, which was recommended by the friends at the secret base.
She firmly shook her head at the server’s question, ‘Should I serve it in child size?’
Dare you underestimate my mighty stomach.
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?”
