Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 158
La Til couldn’t hide her bewildered feelings—and didn’t even try to. She openly stared at Domis with a strange look. Domis gave a small smile without showing any sign of discomfort.
“I’m sorry to say something like this, but please understand. Since Princess Latrasil’s special envoy has been spying on me, I couldn’t help but make such assumptions. It’s unlikely the Emperor ordered her envoy to spy on me officially, so it seems clear this stems purely from Miss Sadi’s personal motives.”
Though that was a fair point, La Til refused to admit it.
“Why? It could still be official business.”
Deliberately using a flat tone, La Til watched as Domis tilted her head slightly with a “Could that be?” expression, then soon broke into an even deeper smile.
Why is she smiling like that? It was an oddly unpleasant smile, and La Til’s mood soured instantly.
She could immediately tell the next words coming from that mouth wouldn’t be pleasant.
“So you’re saying it’s the Emperor who has personal motives, then?”
“!”
“If it’s by the Emperor’s command, everything would be ‘official business’ to you, so yes—it could very well be official business, even if it involves the Emperor investigating his own concubine.”
Just as expected, Domis’s words worsened La Til’s mood even further—especially because they were entirely true.
Of course I’m investigating you—Kalain is involved! What else would I be doing? It’s obvious! Besides, if we had absolutely nothing to do with each other, why would I even bother investigating you? La Til grumbled inwardly.
She belatedly remembered she was currently dreaming Domis’s memories but chose to ignore that detail for now—after all, she wasn’t here because of that.
Instead of responding to Domis, La Til made her displeasure even more obvious, muttering coldly,
“You’re a troublesome person. You approached me, pretended to know me, and even brought up Kalain yourself—yet now you’re daring to drag His Majesty into this. You’re the strange one here.”
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?”
