Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 258
Isabella handed Cesare the next sheet of parchment. It was from the bundle she had been holding.
Cesare instinctively thought he should not look further, but he could not stop. His hands trembled as he unconsciously took the next page.
“My Alfonso,
You must be wandering between life and death in the barren desert, right? San Carlo is fully in winter. The weather is very cold.
Today I went on an outing to the suburbs. I saw a truly marvelous valley. It was actually a place I already knew, but I had forgotten about it for a long time. Visiting it again by chance made me happy.
There, lily-of-the-valley flowers are blooming. They reach full bloom in May, even behind the waterfall, in a place where sunlight never reaches. Isn’t it admirable how they stubbornly bloom without a single ray of sunshine?
I thought of you. …(omitted).
It was clearly a diary entry she had written on the day they went together to the lily-of-the-valley valley. That day, Ariadne had thought of Alfonso the entire time she was with him. Seeing that fact with his own eyes made his hands shake.
In his precious hideout, she had smiled while thinking of her half-brother, his irreconcilable mortal enemy.
He had trusted her and let her into his domain, inside his boundaries. Ariadne had neatly betrayed that trust.
He could not stop and continued reading the letter.
“…(omitted)… My Alfonso, who is stubbornly carving out your place in your homeland without our father’s support, just like the lily-of-the-valley. My steadfast Alfonso.
I heard about your military achievements through Raphael. ‘The Undefeated Knight’—I truly believed in you from the very first moment I saw you. I am so proud of you. And above all, I am happiest that you are healthy and unharmed.

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?”
