“You don’t need to worry. I’ve tried it and there was no problem. I moved without even a cut finger.”
Saying so, Prodia spread out her palm and turned it back and forth.
Papier swallowed and calmed himself down.
‘It, it’ll be fine, right? Prodia, the believer, was fine too.’
But contrary to his resolution, his steps didn’t easily move.
Eurtis urged him.
“What are you doing? I’ll make sure there’s no accident, so hurry up.”
Papier hesitated for a moment before slowly approaching Eurtis.
He gathered his courage and hugged Eurtis.
And with both arms, he firmly embraced Eurtis so that no one could pull them apart.
Screeech.
Papier closed his eyes tightly and shouted.
“I’m, I’m ready……!”
Then Eurtis’s eyes turned cold.
“Priest brat, what are you doing?”
“I, I hugged you as you asked……?”
“You’re going to the countess alone, huh?”
“……Yes?”
Still not understanding, Papier heard Eurtis’s sharp words.
“If you take up such a position, how am I supposed to take Prodia?”
“Oh, right……!”
Papier, after thinking for a moment, asked.
“Sh, should I ride on the wizard’s back?”
“Am I your dad?”
“I’m sorry……!”
Tears welled in Papier’s frightened eyes.
“Sigh, for now, come to my left side.”
“Ye, yes yes!”
At the same time, Papier clung to his left side.
Ding ding ding.
He looked like a young beast still clinging and trembling with its mother.
Eurtis sighed internally.
‘Sigh. I worried unnecessarily dealing with this guy.’
He then spoke to Prodia.
“Prodia, are you ready? You can come to my right side.”
At those words, the situation that would soon unfold was drawn in Prodia’s mind.
The image of Papier and me hugging Eurtis on both sides.
‘I hate it, really.’
Prodia, with a displeased expression, hugged Eurtis’s right side.
Soon, Papier came into her view.
With Eurtis’s broad chest between them.
Their eyes met, and Papier awkwardly greeted.
“Yo, you’ve come?”
This was a scene at the end of an era.
‘It’s horrible.’
I hope this is the last teleport.
But Irtis could not have missed her expression.
Clicking his tongue softly, he immediately activated teleportation.
With purple smoke, the three were transported to the Count Duser’s residence in an instant.
(This is a time separator.)
Inside Count Duser’s residence.
Papier was crouched in a corner of the reception room, continuously sobbing.
It seemed that the aftereffects of leaving the ministry had belatedly arrived.
“I should have given my last thanks to the Minister…”
Irtis spoke, looking at her.
“What thanks to the guy who abandoned you?”
Then, Papier, who had been depressed so far, snapped for the first time.
“The Minister did not abandon me! Even after going to the competition, if my faith is unchanging, he said I can come back anytime!”
“Really? Then go back on the first day of the competition. Just say that you tried for a day, and it wasn’t a good fit.”
“But, that’s…”
Papier was at a loss for words, unable to respond.
At that point, Prodia, who had been silently watching until now, approached her.
“Papier?”
She jumped up.
“Yes, yes! Master.”
“Master? Just call me by my name.”
“Oh… Okay, Prodia.”
“Papier, there’s something I want to ask.”
“Yes, feel free to ask.”
“I think the Minister entrusted something to you earlier, may I know what it was?”
“Oh…”
Considering the conversation between the two, it seemed to be related to the competition.
‘What did the Minister say to make Papier have such a defeated expression?’
However, Papier hesitated and could not answer right away.
Prodia spoke to her soothingly.
“You don’t have to answer right now. You can tell me later.”
“……Thank you.”
Meanwhile, Irtis, who had been watching the conversation between the two, felt a slight sting of emotion.
Because of Prodia’s attitude, which was quite different when dealing with him.
‘Why is she so soft with that cleric when she’s cold with me?’
Then he shook his head.
Even from my perspective, that cleric seems weak.
If Prodia treats him as coldly as she usually does with me, that cleric will burst into tears again.
‘Sigh…… Why am I thinking so childishly? Let it go.’
At that moment, Papier, who had made up his mind, opened her mouth.
“……I will tell you. About the instructions the Minister gave me.”
What? Instructions?
Prodia was a bit surprised.
‘Wasn’t it just to participate in the Buma selection competition?’
Then, Papier slowly opened her mouth.
“The Minister told me… not to return to the ministry until I make it into the final 10 in the Buma competition.”
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?”
