My Fiancé Keeps Trying to Raise Me (16 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 58
“Jeon Milard of the Royal Knights requests an audience with His Majesty the King.”
King Heyworth observed Jeon entering the audience chamber and kneeling on one knee with a bow, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
The king was extremely pleased with this dependable young knight, whose swordsmanship was exceptional as well.
This was true even though Jeon’s father happened to be Marquis Milard, a noble the king had always deeply disliked.
Part of the reason was that Jeon’s relationship with his father, the marquis, was so cold they might as well have been sworn enemies.…
The king glanced sideways at his daughter Bridget, who stood beside him with a shy expression.
But the real reason was, of course, that Bridget herself favored Jeon.
In fact, though she had not uttered a word until now, when a political marriage was about to be arranged, Bridget finally revealed her true feelings—
that her heart belonged to the heir of House Milard.
At first, the king had felt hurt and angry, but Bridget’s sweetly pleading words—that she couldn’t bear to leave her father’s side, and that marrying someone from the kingdom would let her see him every day—sounded lovely to his ears.
Upon reflection, a mediocre position as queen consort in a foreign kingdom would still fall far short of becoming Grand Duchess of the Alkan Empire, so he saw no pressing need to force Bridget into an alliance marriage either.
‘Though the age gap is somewhat concerning…’
But since the king himself was ten years older than his current queen, Esther, he couldn’t very well object.
Moreover, having recently scrutinized the noble youths of Heyworth with his daughter’s marriage in mind, the king confirmed that Jeon Milard stood head and shoulders above the rest.
He couldn’t fathom how there wasn’t a single other notable figure among them—it was enough to make him despair as a monarch—but at least he was grateful that a talent like Jeon remained unmarried.
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?”
