Sister, I'm the Queen This Life (330 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 308
Late spring sunlight poured into the room so brilliantly it was almost blinding. The Taranto ducal townhouse occupied an entire sun-drenched hillside in the very heart of Bocca della Giano, making it a grand mansion bathed abundantly in daylight.
The building dated back several generations, constructed when the ducal family had not yet ruled the Taranto domain but were merely a very close cadet branch of the De Carlo house.
Unlike the fashionable marble used recently, this old mansion honestly revealed its granite framework—large, sturdy, and warm. Ariadne felt this grand residence closely resembled Alfonso.
It was a rather hasty conviction—formed upon her first visit and confirmed on the second—but such impressions, by nature, often remain unchanged from the very first moment.
“We’ve crossed paths a few times since then.”
The prince finally spoke, his back to a wide-open window. The southwest-facing drawing room received even more sunlight than the rest of the Taranto ducal residence, which already basked fully in the sun.
“We just never had a chance to talk properly.”
His eyes dazzled her. Alfonso’s hair, since returning from Yessak, had turned closer to desert sand than golden thread—bleached by the blazing desert sun just as his skin had darkened.
Added to his now much larger frame and deeper, heavier voice, he looked, at first glance, like an entirely different person.
That fact always pained Ariadne, for it gave her an unfounded illusion—that the man she loved no longer existed in this world.
Yet today’s Alfonso reminded her of the boyish prince he’d been years ago. Whether this was due to the golden glow lent by San Carlo’s sunlight, or the occasional flashes of his cheerful smile, she couldn’t say which contributed more.
“Have you been well? Are you in good health?”
Because of the backlight, she couldn’t clearly read Alfonso’s expression. Yet Ariadne was certain—his eyes would be burning with feverish intensity. That’s how the Alfonso she knew would be.
But under the weight of his intense gaze, Ariadne lowered her head deeply. Knowing and responding were two different things. She simply couldn’t think of what to say.
She wasn’t some naive young lady blushing before a prince. This near-instinctive urge to avoid him had a clear cause.
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?”
