Although her body felt refreshed, her head still felt muddy, as if she were still stuck in a mud puddle.
‘Frustrating.’
Eventually, Alicia got up from the bed and opened the window.
The temperature in the room quickly dropped due to the chilly wind, but Alicia didn’t feel that way at all.
Once again, a blue butterfly began to flutter in front of her eyes.
“Huh?”
“Hello.”
“You again?”
“We met today, didn’t we?”
“I asked you to convey my regards.”
“Ah, right. I noticed you were catching on.”
“Who are you guys really?”
“It’s a long connection. Now it’s a bad one. It’s sad, but.”
Somehow, the voice seemed melancholic, so Alicia tilted her head with a smile.
“Will we forget the conversations we’re having now?”
“Probably. But the time we spend in contact is increasing. To be precise, the time you respond to me has become faster and longer.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“Maybe. At least I have no intention of harming you.”
“I see.”
“Surprisingly calm.”
“So many things have suddenly happened, and now I don’t even know what’s a big deal.”
“Oh, that. There will be bigger things in the future.”
“Ah, that’s a bit tricky.”
Seeing Alicia grumbling, the voice seemed to laugh.
“You’re a bold kid. Maybe it’s in the blood.”
?”
Just as Alicia was about to ask what that meant, she returned to reality.
A familiar warm hand rested on her shoulder.
“Eric?”
“Why are you thinking so hard that you don’t recognize when I call you?”
“Ah, really? I didn’t hear. When did you come?”
“A while ago. Why are you doing this when it’s so cold? How chilly is the wind right now?”
Eric scolded while closing the window and even drawing the curtains.
Alicia felt a bit teary seeing him worry about her.
“What’s wrong?”
“Why are you standing there? I told you to wait, but you just left. I came to see if something happened.”
“Ah, you seemed so busy.”
“At least say something before leaving.”
“Sorry. I forgot.”
Casually responding, Alicia walked past Eric towards the desk.
Then Eric grabbed Alicia’s arm, turned her around, and looked at her.
“What is it?”
“Huh?”
“Something seems strange.”
He’s quite perceptive at times.
Alicia bit her lower lip.
‘When will Princess Valerie make it official.’
Looking at Alicia avoiding eye contact, Eric was sure.
There must be something.
“Speak, quickly.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Don’t lie.”
The hand that Eric had on Alicia tightened.
“It hurts.”
“Ah, sorry.”
As Eric quickly released his grip, Alicia quietly stared at him.
In fact, nothing hurt.
She just said it because she wanted to avoid this situation.
Nevertheless, this man who thought it was real, seeing him fret made Alicia feel strangely good.
So Alicia held a magpie feather and wrapped her arm around his neck.
Surprised but quickly concentrating on herself, Alicia met Eric’s lowered head and kissed him on the lips.
Impulsively initiated, the kiss, unexpected by Eric, began to heat up from the moment Eric firmly embraced Alicia’s waist.
It had been a long time.
So, Eric, who became desperate, pushed Alicia deeply.
The lips tightly intertwined, and the sweet breath passing between them made Alicia cling more to Eric.
Eric, more actively than usual, lifted Alicia, sat her on the desk, and delved into the space between them.
As the movements became more intense, the touches became more discreet.
With the trembling sound, Alicia felt like she was about to fall back, so she grabbed the desk with the arm that had been holding Eric.
Because of Eric, who came down densely along the neckline, Alicia gritted her teeth and grabbed Eric’s hair.
This man wants me like this too.
What should I say if I tell him what I heard today?
Should I tell him not to worry? Or…
“Kya-haha!”
“Kya-ah!”
With the sound of the door opening, the twins rushed in with screams.
Even though it was late, their voices were filled with excitement, as if they had been having fun until now.
“Haa.”
After Eric sighed for a moment, he separated from Alicia.
With the sound of their twins running, they immediately grabbed one leg each and hung on to Eric.
“Right. You guys weren’t asleep. Why weren’t you sleeping?”
“Hug us.”
“Me too. Don’t just hug Unnie.”
“Don’t say that anywhere.”
Facing Alicia’s stern questioning, Ryan and Lyla stuck out their tongues as if they didn’t want to answer.
But seemingly afraid of scolding, they quickly buried themselves in Eric’s arms.
“The kids are scared.”
“If you keep receiving them like that, they’ll get spoiled.”
“What’s wrong with that once in a while?”
Laughing as he patted the twins, Eric said.
After watching the twins squirming in his arms for a moment, he turned his head to Alicia.
“Will you have twins later?”
“······Can I decide that on my own?”
“Is that so.”
After thinking for a moment, Eric grinned.
“Try hard, okay.”
Smack.
Alicia lightly hit Eric’s shoulder as he smiled gracefully, confirming his sincerity and responding to his teasing while still sharing her everyday life with him, even though her mind remained uneasy in one corner.
“I’m here.”
“Welcome, Chase.”
Sitting face to face with Chase, who entered her room as usual, Alicia had a serious expression.
“What’s wrong, Alicia? Why so serious.”
“I have something to ask. And I need your help depending on your answer.”
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?”
