If we judge by beauty, Jen was also the same. He splendidly pulled off a dress that was elegant, calm, and slightly sexy, suitable for his brother’s wedding.
Because of Jen’s flattery, I didn’t know where to put my body.
“Anyway! We have to leave now. The carriage is waiting.”
Leading the carriage waiting in front of the main house was Kei’s black horse, Black.
Black swayed with an imposing presence and, upon recognizing Rishi, made coquettish sounds.
When Rishi approached to pet Black, Jen stopped her.
“It’s not the time, Rishi. Get on the carriage quickly. Stop dawdling.”
Jen scolded Black and put Rishi on the carriage.
The dress’s hem was spread wide, requiring the help of several people to get on the carriage. When getting off, some people who would assist Rishi also climbed onto the carriage.
The carriage windows were covered with thick curtains. It was a structure that prevented anyone from looking inside.
“I’ve already explained the order, but I’ll say it again.”
While Jen repeated the order that he had already explained about ten times, the carriage continued without stopping toward the lake where the wedding was taking place.
+++
As the wedding was led by Countess Nellanikos Jenal, it was expected to be splendid, as everyone guessed.
However, this wedding surpassed splendor, and the nobles gathered there all thought the same.
They had adorned the wide lake, the path around the lake, the vast open space, and the densely packed trees beyond the path, leaving nothing unembellished.
Whatever means they used, the trees surrounding the lake had white leaves and stems, and various colored jewels sparkled between the leaves.
Walking along the grass path laid along the lake, a wide open space for the wedding ceremony appeared.
The white arches, upon closer inspection, had various kinds of jewels embedded in them, and light pink flowers were spread on both sides, making it both splendid and elegant.
Under the venue created on the open space, white stones were spread. It was not completely white but made with a mix of pastel-toned sand, creating a sweet feeling.
Although the guest seats and tables were also white, the tablecloth was sky blue, so it harmonized well with the brick-laid floor.
The guest seats were placed facing the lake, and there was a bridal seat made of white marble.
What most amazed the guests was the lake visible behind the bridal seat. All the stones in the lake had been replaced with beautiful colored stones, and the lake shone in various colors under the sunlight.
It was a fantastic sight that seemed impossible to see twice.
‘By the way, who is riding in that carriage over there?’
After admiring the lake for a while, the guests, standing near the bridal seat, began to wonder about the carriage.
The large carriage, mixed with white and sky blue, had no family crest.
There was no way the bride would be riding it. The carriage the bride rode in would wait behind the groom at the end of the wedding road.
However, considering Iris had shown unconventional appearances, such as wearing a black dress at the pre-wedding party, she might make a dramatic entrance from that white carriage.
‘In that case, it would look really awkward. The dress from the pre-wedding party suits her well enough, but it’s not good to show bizarre actions until the wedding.’
‘The lake is shining so much that the bride might look a bit dull.’
‘I also want to get married in a place like this. Will they lend it to me?’
Amid various thoughts, the guest seats were filled without a gap, and the wedding time approached.
The Crown Prince sat in the front row. Around the Crown Prince, on the right, were the Wittlow Duchy family, and on the left were the Green Count family.
Everyone sat quietly, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
When Brittany first entered the wedding venue, she felt annoyed by the fact that Rishi’s wedding venue was so splendid that it was hard to catch up.
However, as she sat next to the Crown Prince, thoughts about Rishi disappeared completely, and her mind was filled with the imagination of walking down the wedding road with the Crown Prince.
‘My wedding will be much more splendid than this. I will spend more money, entrust a more famous designer with a more expensive dress. I will invite more amazing guests. Iris, you won’t be invited.’
Brittany raised her head slightly and smiled gracefully in anticipation of the Crown Prince looking at her. However, the Crown Prince silently stared only at the bridal seat.
‘Who is watching the ceremony? I thought they would ask me. Although we are the same age, the Crown Prince’s status is much higher than K, so if Eovet serves as the celebrant, it will be an honor for the Green Count family. But K didn’t mention the celebrant. It wasn’t only Eovet who thought about the celebrant. Some guests also thought, ‘Prince, please serve as the celebrant. Since you even requested a dance from the Countess Green.’
Even though K, the groom, stood under the arch at the beginning of the wedding road, the carriage carrying the bride Rishi stopped behind him.
Jamie, dressed perfectly, stood next to the celebrant seat and announced loudly that the ceremony had begun.
No one found it strange that Jamie, who served as a butler in the Green Count’s house, watched the social event. After all, Jamie Russell is the ‘Knight of the Firmament’ coveted even by the emperor.
“Today is the day when Count K Brant Green and Countess Iris Green become one.”
Usually, the expression ‘the day when the Green family and Wittlow family become one’ is used in such cases, so people were puzzled.
However, that puzzlement did not last long.
“We will now introduce the celebrant who will bless your beautiful wedding.”
Jamie’s eyes turned toward a building near the celebrant seat. Everyone followed Jamie’s gaze.
Someone opened the door from inside. Beyond the door, a crimson cloak appeared.
‘No way…!’
People held their breath.
‘No, it can’t be.’
The figure they had just imagined was too absurd.
That person was someone who would not even come to bless the emperor’s wedding in person.
At that moment, Jamie said the name of the person who appeared in their short imagination.
“His Holiness Pope Andrizhe Godelrem.”
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?”
