The next day, I woke up in Muzel’s room. Despite hoping to wake up in my own room, it was not to be.
“Phew…….”
I sighed deeply. Knowing this world from the original novel was one thing, but living as a character in it was a daunting and trembling experience.
Moreover, it wasn’t just about living; I also had to dress as a man.
With these thoughts, I completed my preparations to go out and stood in front of the mirror one last time.
“Hmm.”
I’ve really come far. In my life, when would I ever again have such beautiful blonde hair and turquoise eyes?
Muzel, as described in the original, owned an extravagantly handsome appearance. He was quite tall, almost matching the height of the male lead. For a woman, he was exceptionally tall.
Moreover, his build wasn’t slender. His square shoulders made for a good clothes hanger.
Especially in my outfit, mainly coats extending below the waist, the overall impression was enough to be perceived as a ‘man prettier than a woman.’
Even if I quit being an aide, it seemed I wouldn’t have to worry about making a living if I chose modeling as a career.
After concluding that everything from head to toe was in order, I carefully opened the door.
My room was on the same floor as the prince’s attendants and maids’ chambers. Hence, it was more lively than other places.
People I encountered in the corridor briefly greeted me and went on their way. It was a familiar scene, reminiscent of the atmosphere when arriving at work.
“Muzel! Have a great day.”
A young maid, seemingly just come of age, approached from the opposite side and greeted me. I gave her a business smile.
“Yes, you too….”
I hesitated, realizing it was rude to refer to her without a name.
Quickly noticing my discomfort, the young maid introduced herself.
“I’m Gretchen. I briefly greeted you on your first day at the palace.”
“Ah, Gretchen. Sorry, I didn’t remember.”
“Hehe, it’s okay. At least you knew my name starts with a ‘G.'”
Gretchen smiled brightly.
“I’m so happy that Muzel is the first person I talked to today. I’ll be happy all day long!”
She fluttered away, waving her hand.
“Haha.”
I awkwardly raised my hand and then slowly lowered it.
It seems this body is more loved by the palace folks than I thought.
No wonder. If I were them, I’d also be curious to talk to a new colleague this handsome.
Pretty women are valuable, but handsome men are even more so, aren’t they?
Soon, I arrived at my workplace. The best perk of this job I gained through transmigration was undoubtedly my boss’s face.
Shortly after, the prince and his chief attendant appeared in the office. I respectfully clasped my hands and bowed.
“Your Highness, have you arrived?”
“You’re early today.”
Klaus casually tossed out the comment and sat on the sofa.
“Sit down, Muzel. There’s something I need to discuss.”
“Ah, yes.”
Unexpectedly, I sat stiffly on the opposite sofa, slightly nervous about what he might say.
Klaus started speaking with an indifferent expression.
“I heard there was quite a commotion during your conversation with Lady Elfriede yesterday.”
“Ah…….”
My heart sank. I knew the prince would have good intelligence, but I didn’t expect him to know such minute details.
Klaus slightly curled his lips.
“Almost nothing in this palace escapes my notice. Moreover, when the prince’s well-known aide meets privately with the flower of the social circle, did you think it wouldn’t become a topic of gossip?”
I was stunned.
The next day, I woke up in Muzel’s room. Despite a faint hope of waking up in my own room, I was still here.
“Phew…….”
I let out a long sigh. Even though I knew this world from the original novel, living as a character in it was daunting and unsettling, especially since I also had to disguise myself as a man.
Lost in thoughts, I finished getting ready and stood in front of the mirror once more.
“Hmm.”
I’ve really outdone myself. When else in my life would I have such beautiful blonde hair and turquoise eyes?
Muzel was described in the original as having an extravagantly handsome appearance. He was quite tall, almost on par with the male lead. That’s exceptionally tall for a woman.
Moreover, his build wasn’t slender. His square shoulders were ideal for clothes.
Especially in my outfit, mainly coats reaching below the waist, the overall impression was enough to be perceived as a ‘man prettier than a woman.’
Even if I quit being an aide, I looked like I could make a living as a model.
Satisfied that everything from head to toe was in order, I cautiously opened the door.
My room was on the same floor as the prince’s attendants and maids’ chambers, hence more lively than other areas.
People in the corridor greeted me briefly and hurried on their way. It felt familiar, like the atmosphere when arriving at work.
“Muzel! Have a great day today.”
A young maid, seemingly just come of age, approached and greeted me. I responded with a business smile.
“Yes, you too….”
I hesitated, realizing it was rude to refer to her without a name.
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?”
