“She’s definitely crazy. She doesn’t know how high the sky is, leaving home…”
Dennis gritted his teeth.
“Why did you just come in? Even if we came without contact, we are guests, isn’t it impolite to send us away like this?”
“Stop it, Brittany. And you too. The Earl of Green is the Guardian of the Holy Relic.”
“Even if he’s the Guardian of the Holy Relic, we’re a ducal family, aren’t we?”
“Brittany. Don’t say such things in front of others.”
The Green family, the Guardians of the Holy Relic from generation to generation, and the declining Wittle Duke family.
It was clear who was superior.
There was nothing good about being out of Kay’s sight. But Iris’s rude attitude was also unforgivable.
“Let’s visit again tomorrow. The Earl of Green has vacated his post. Once we set foot in that mansion…”
We should thoroughly discipline that girl’s rudeness.
+++
The ‘Disciplining of Iris’s Rudeness’ that Kevrant firmly intended could not be implemented the next day either.
“The Countess is not feeling well today. You will have to come back tomorrow.”
The next day as well.
“The Countess is busy today. You will have to come back tomorrow.”
Each time they were driven away at the door, Kevrant’s face grew redder and his voice louder.
Even though he was chastised, Jamie maintained the same subtle smile as before.
After the Duke’s family, who had been cursing in front of the mansion for a while after Jamie went in, confirmed their departure, Jamie headed to the greenhouse.
Risi was picking a ripe apple under the apple tree.
“The Duke of Wittle’s family has gone, Lady Iris.”
“I see.”
“I think they might really leave the territory today.”
“They won’t. They’re people who can’t let go of their petty pride. They won’t return without a harvest. If rumors spread that they couldn’t step foot in and were sent back, it would be hard for them to show their faces.”
Risi said coldly.
Jamie was amazed at how different Risi’s expression and atmosphere were when she was in front of Kay and when she talked about the Duke of Wittle.
“What shall we say to drive them away tomorrow?”
Jamie asked.
“Hasn’t the Count heard anything yet?”
“Yes, I think it’s hard to come within a week because it’s a long way…”
“And Jerezien?”
“Jen contacted that he will come in 2 or 3 days.”
“Then.”
Risi picked an apple and put it in the basket, staring at Jamie.
“We should teach manners to the Duke of Wittle before Jen comes, right?”
Jamie liked it when Risi smiled like this.
A smile filled with arrogance and mischief.
A smile that seemed to understand why Kay, who had no interest in women, was so fascinated by Risi.
Jamie also smiled back and nodded.
“I hope you give a lot of lessons.”
+++
Brittany was so annoyed that she felt like she would explode at any moment.
She had been humiliated at the door three times already.
Even though their power had diminished compared to before, they were the Wittle Duke family.
It was not a family that should be humiliated by a mere count.
But three times.
Even though they went to ask in person, they couldn’t even step foot inside the mansion.
And it wasn’t because of Kay, but because of Risi.
“This is ridiculous!”
On the way to visit the Earl of Green for the fourth time.
Brittany yelled in frustration in the carriage.
“No matter how much they are the Guardians of the Holy Relic, treating us like this is unacceptable!”
“Britney is right, dear. We have to formally protest this.”
“Yes, we should let the Holy Nation know… and we should also speak directly to Duke Green. Iris is acting on her own while Duke Green is away from home!”
“Don’t worry. Even today, if we drive her away, we will complain about the rudeness of Duke Green’s household not only to the Holy Nation but also to the emperor.”
Globan’s visit to the emperor of the Gabizar Empire did not take place. Today, the door opened peacefully, and a carriage could enter through the main entrance.
Upon seeing Iris, Wittle had resolved to slap her cheek right away.
However, that opportunity did not come.
“Please wait in the reception room for a while.”
Although she clearly said ‘for a while’, even after one hour, even after two hours, Iris did not come to the reception room.
Tired of waiting, he called Jamie, but he did not come, and even when he asked the passing maids, all they said was, “Please wait a little longer.”
They didn’t even serve a cup of tea.
Jamie returned only when the sun was setting, despite having arrived early in the morning.
Globan stood up abruptly.
“What the hell is this?”
“Huh? What’s up?”
Jamie asked back as if he didn’t know at all.
“You told me to wait for a while, how many hours has it been! Besides, not even serving a cup of tea, not even a meal!”
“Oh, are you hungry? I couldn’t prepare a guest meal because of your sudden visit. I apologize.”
Jamie said with a look on his face that was not sorry at all.
“You…!”
As Globan couldn’t bear it and started to walk threateningly towards Jamie, Britney quickly came over and gently put her hand on Globan’s arm.
Britney gave Globan a slight wink and asked Jamie with a graceful smile.
“Did Iris order this?”
“What?”
“Did she order you to treat our family so harshly?”
“Why would she? She told me to treat you with respect.”
“In the Duke Green’s household, is this considered respectful treatment?”
“Depending on the other party.”
“Other party? Are we, the Wittle family, so insignificant that we can’t even get a cup of tea?”
Britney asked calmly.
Jamie smiled brightly and said what Liche had instructed him to say.
“Considering what the Wittle family has done to our Lady Duke, I think this is quite a respectful treatment.”
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?”
