“When I read someone’s inner thoughts, it was always when the person was surprised, or their heart was weak, or they were shouting in their hearts. It’s strange to say they were shouting, but anyway!”
Before Latil saw him in the first situation, the nobleman was devoted to finding the imperial ambassador. He was very surprised and confused when he met Latil.
The second situation followed. The attacker who ambushed Latil from behind seemed to be gathering his courage to surprise Latil, shouting ‘Die!’ inside his heart.
The third situation. The attackers she met in the prison. They initially didn’t reveal their inner thoughts, but as they received Latil’s magic, their bodies and minds weakened, and they gradually began to reveal their inner thoughts.
The fourth and last situation was with Klein. Initially, she couldn’t understand his thoughts, but when he followed her and desperately wished for her to suggest a walk, she could hear his thoughts.
“This is it. It’s clear. When the other person’s heart weakens or, conversely, becomes incredibly strong, that’s when I can hear them.”
Excited, Latil hurriedly passed her water cup to Sonaught and ordered hastily.
“Sonaught Knight! Gather the 1st Guard Division right now! I need to scold them!”
When Latil started talking about scolding them with a broad smile, Sonaught asked, “Huh?”
“Quick!”
But as Latil hurried him while being overly excited, Sonaught, although confused, quickly assembled the 1st Guard Division at the training ground.
Since the 1st Guard Division had already received a severe scolding once because of the damage to the Lion Palace, they froze in extreme tension when they were called again.
‘But this isn’t enough.’
She still couldn’t hear anyone’s inner thoughts. Hoping that her hypothesis was correct, Latil issued a cold command to the guards.
“The fact that none of you noticed the Lion Palace being damaged means that you all were negligent. Even though you were scolded once, you might get careless again, so let’s have another scolding. Scolding.”
At Latil’s command, the guards’ faces turned pale.
“50 laps around the training ground!”
But when the emperor personally pointed out the direction and gave the order, the guards had no choice but to start running around the training ground.
Watching this, Latil slowly smiled. From around the 43rd lap, she started hearing the inner thoughts of one or two guards, and by the time they finished the 50th lap, she could hear their thoughts so loudly that it was almost noisy.
‘I was right!’
Cheering inside her heart, Latil intentionally put on an even colder expression and said,
“Actually, the reason you guys are getting scolded this time is not because of the Lion Palace.”
Then why are you doing this! Many inner thoughts protested against Latil.
With a cold smile, Latil intentionally stared at them.
“It’s because you failed to notice the spy right next to you.”
The inner voices soon became even more clamorous. Most of them were tense or worried, asking, “Who is that?” and “I secretly dated with Ariana, what if this leads to a misunderstanding that I’m a spy?”
Among those, one inner voice stood out, agitating Latrasil.
[“It must be a lie. I didn’t leave a single piece of evidence.”]The corner of Latil’s mouth slightly lifted.
‘So it’s you.’
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?”
