Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 33
I came to see Calain, but Ranamun is here? La Til was flustered the moment she stepped into Calain’s room and saw an unexpected sight.
Ranamun and Calain standing side by side?
Calain, exuding decadent charm, and Ranamun, with his cold, noble aura—on the surface, the two looked perfectly harmonious together, yet considering their backgrounds and personalities, weren’t they the most mismatched pair imaginable?
Were these two fighting as well? Recalling the recent incident with Gesta and Klein, La Til quickly scanned them both.
Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be the case. Above all, the chessboard spread out on the table behind them looked utterly peaceful.
“My liege?”
Calain, finding La Til’s awkward stance even stranger, asked calmly.
“What’s the matter?”
“Oh, I just didn’t expect to find Ranamun here. You two… were playing chess?”
Caught off guard by the question, La Til answered absentmindedly. Yet even as she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the chessboard, and a loud voice echoed in her mind: “These two played chess together?”
Calain himself hardly seemed the type for chess—and his opponent was Ranamun, of all people. The two of them playing chess?
“Since you came to see Calain, am I disturbing you by being here?”
Only after Ranamun cut in coldly did La Til finally regain her composure. She also noticed that his tone sounded even colder than during their previous meeting.
‘Ah. Now that I think about it, our last encounter ended on slightly awkward terms.’
Though Ranamun hadn’t shared her bed, he apparently took offense at having received a gift, his pride wounded.
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?”

‘It would’ve been nice if there’d been a concubine with Sarnet’s temperament.’
Sarnet is the best choice. If only she would make him the emperor. Better than the rest of concubines.
“Karun, ask Father to investigate that man. There’s something… off about him.”
Really strange. And when he told Latil before that he had been waiting for her since she was born. Either Kalin’s soul is born again or his age is as old as a genie, for example.
Laura was the secretary La Til had assigned specifically to assist Gesta and Tas
Although I thought Gesta could be combined with any of the concubines. But perhaps because Tasir is smart, it is of no use to combine him with Gesta. Maybe if you put him with some idiot like Prince Klein it would be better.
