Second Male Lead, You Said It Was A Contract Marriage? (7 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 058
“How did Yezar manage to block Count Wyden’s movements so perfectly?”
“Did you really want to know?”
“Of course. I watched Count Wyden’s swordsmanship intently, but in the end, I saw Yezar not only block everything but also strike precisely at the weak point. It was breathtakingly impressive.”
“I feel rather embarrassed hearing you say that.”
When holding a sword, he was a fierce knight who never left an opening and ruthlessly targeted his opponent’s vulnerabilities—but in daily life, he was as soft and gentle as a marshmallow.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed. After clashing swords with Count Wyden, I realized something. I want to spend more time sparring with Yezar. I want to improve my swordsmanship. The longer I can hold my ground against him, the more enjoyable it will become compared to before.”
Predicting your opponent’s thoughts and exchanging sword strikes felt like a conversation. I loved that entire process—focusing on every breath, observing movements, studying their gaze, and reading their next move.
“I’ll do my utmost to help you until the day you can stand as my equal. After all, a conversation through words is different from one through clashing blades.”
“Yes, just wait. I’ll grow so much that you’ll find me even harder to handle than now.”
“I look forward to it, my lady.”
His words, utterly sincere without a trace of falsehood, made me happy like a child. He truly believed I could grow that far.
The night deepened, yet our conversation continued endlessly. It only ended when I blinked drowsily and suddenly collapsed into his arms. Even in my fading consciousness, I clearly felt his hand tucking the blanket around me and gently stroking my hair.
“Sleep well, Julietta.”
Smiling in my half-sleep, I murmured back—perhaps too faintly for him to hear. I wished him sweet dreams.

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?”
