“I am… I…”
Ibelia stammered while looking at Felix, lowering her head to gaze at her own palm. Her fingertips were trembling. It was too confusing. Even though she had seen it with her own eyes, she couldn’t fathom what had just happened.
“What did you do to me?”
She asked in a trembling voice. There was no doubt that Felix had done something to her. Otherwise, such a strange event could not have occurred just now. However, Felix firmly shook his head.
“There’s no answer I can give you if you ask me. I didn’t do anything to you. Your body just showed a reaction it couldn’t understand. That’s why I’m confused too.”
“It doesn’t make sense. If you didn’t do anything, why is my body reacting like this? How is it possible? Just before you did whatever to me, I’ve never experienced anything like this!”
Ibelia retorted with a somewhat intense tone, filled with fear.
Felix involuntarily sighed. However, his attitude remained as unwavering as before, unaffected by Ibelia’s protestations.
The more emotionally charged Ibelia became, the more he had to act rationally.
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. The power I just sent you is not like magic; I simply infused some of my energy into you. And you, in turn, returned that energy to me, amplified by at least twice.”
“This, are you asking me to believe that now?”
“Even if you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do. That’s the truth and the fact.”
Ibelia instinctively parted her lips but couldn’t say anything. Felix’s expression was too serene. There was no sign of the playful demeanor that was usually evident, and it was even more unsettling to see him so composed.
As if this absurd situation was indeed the truth and fact, he seemed to be quietly waiting only for my response.
“……”
“……”
Ibelia quickly lowered her gaze. Then, she focused on the chaotic thoughts that had been rolling in her mind for quite some time.
[I asked you last time. About your childhood stories. You definitely answered like that. You spent an ordinary childhood.] […….] [If you had the divine power to see me, you couldn’t have had an ordinary childhood. Without you knowing, divine power must have flowed through your body, causing inevitable events. Moreover…]The condition to see Felix is having divine power, and if she possessed it, then she couldn’t have had an ordinary childhood…
Ibelia organized the key points from Felix’s words and concentrated on them. But no matter how much she thought about it, there was no particularly memorable scene. Except for the fact that she often suffered from illness, that is.
“Haah.”
A deep sigh escaped. Could this even be a story she couldn’t remember? The thought alone gave her a headache.
Ibelia touched her temples, tightly closed her eyes, and then, in a heavy, subdued voice, whispered.
“Sorry, but can you leave me alone for a bit?”
“Ibelia, even if it’s just for a day, I need to think about you…”
“I’ll think about it.”
Ibelia decisively cut off Felix’s hurried words. Felix, momentarily surprised by the unprecedented attitude, tightly sealed his lips. Ibelia, raising her head, stared sharply at Felix.
“Felix has never been so firm with me before. If someone who wasn’t like that does it to this extent, there must be a reason. So, I’ll think about it. Please, leave me alone.”
It was an exceedingly upright and resolute attitude. Felix could no longer say anything in response.
With a light exhale, he nodded and turned towards the window. Opening the previously closed door wide, he concentrated on the hamster he had placed on his palm.
The familiar blue light, which had become accustomed, emitted strongly, and soon the surroundings fell silent. Neither Felix nor the hamster could be seen.
Only then could Ibelia completely succumb to the encroaching fatigue, shoulders slumping.
Late at night, Caliph wandered the Crown Prince’s Palace gardens in silence. Although he came here without any hesitation after hearing Ibelia’s story through Felix, when it came time to meet her, his feet couldn’t seem to move.
[You seemed confused. You said you wanted to be alone, so I left you alone for now.] […….] [But I am sure. Ibelia must have a mutated ability. I confirmed that ability once again today.]There were quite a few words Felix had conveyed, but what deeply embedded itself in his mind was the part where she said, ‘I want to be alone.’
Even without seeing her directly or hearing it for himself, he felt he could guess what kind of feelings she might have. He, too, wasn’t very surprised when he first heard Felix’s words. However, she, the person involved, must have felt awkward.
“……Eve.”
Caliph, looking at Ibelia’s closed bedroom window, whispered softly. He wanted to go to her bedroom right away and see her sleeping face, but it seemed like that wouldn’t be a good idea.
She had been having uneasy days because of him. If he conspicuously appeared, it might complicate Ibelia’s feelings even more.
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?”
