“You dared to deceive the Royum Kingdom with lies, maliciously slandered the innocent, and even brought down the last remaining honor of Royum with a false pregnancy.”
Queen Isabella’s eyes turned red. While calmly listing Miryu’s sins, she trembled as if her throat was choked.
Miryu was the woman Hessen loved.
She believed that Hessen could be happy with Miryu.
“Above all, you.”
Queen Isabella thundered like lightning.
“How dare you hurt my son!”
Thwack[Dash]
Queen Isabella harshly slapped Miryu’s face.
“My son, Hessen, who was careful not to hurt even his own mother, you, someone like you, dared to hurt him!”
Miryu’s cheek swelled, and blood trickled from her mouth after receiving a harsh slap. However, Queen Isabella’s gaze remained as ominous as that of a wild beast.
Even a mere beast would express anger when its offspring is hurt.
“Don’t even think about breathing normally.”
Queen Isabella was the regent of the central Royum Kingdom, a kingdom with significant influence in the United Kingdoms.
“I’ll trample you, even if I have to stake everything.”
Miryu pleaded as if willing to do anything. In response, Queen Isabella’s dark shadow loomed over Miryu, ready to engulf her.
And the reality that Miryu would face was not much different.
It was the collapse of a perfectly orchestrated deception.
The wedding had completely fallen apart.
“All of it was fake. How could I have done such a thing? I would never have had the courage; I was too afraid.”
“I thought there was nothing to lose. I’ve never seen the regent of Royum so angry before. She was always calm and noble, but today…”
“Who wouldn’t be enraged by today’s events? Even I would have been.”
Guests at the venue turned their heads in surprise at the chaotic news from the wedding. Most wore satisfied expressions, having gained more entertainment than wedding favors.
“I need to spread the news around my social circle as soon as possible. The Duchess of Blanshet must have suffered so unfairly. It’s too embarrassing to see her with such a pale face at the end.”
“Royum Kingdom is also a victim, but the Duchess of Blanshet is the biggest victim.”
“But to think even the pregnancy was fake, what was the saint thinking for a moment?”
“Honestly, can we not say the saint bears no responsibility for this incident?”
I waited for the carriage of the Duchess of Blanshet, receiving Diana’s comfort.
“All because of me, the wedding…”
“No, Estelle. We should actually thank you for what happened in Royum.”
Diana shook her head vigorously.
“Royum’s standing might not be the same for a while. But it’s better than ruining the entire kingdom by bringing in the wrong person, isn’t it?”
“Really?”
“Of course. Perhaps even my brother ran away from the wedding venue with such feelings.”
Hessen had not returned since running away from the wedding venue. Well, even I wouldn’t come home on the day I disrupted a wedding.
“In that case, I’m relieved.”
I smiled brightly at Diana, who played the most crucial role in the collapse of this wedding.
‘Miryu probably thought I told Hessen about it, right?’
However, to Crown Prince Hessen, I am just a lady with whom he has no acquaintance. No matter how much evidence is presented, there was a possibility that aversion could arise, or, on the contrary, he might pity Miryu even more.
So, what I chose to do was to make Diana personally influence Hessen.
“Diana, there’s nothing I can’t tell you. But… Diana, there’s something you can do. Think about it.”
In this way, I guided Diana to go to the information guild I had commissioned, and she found out the truth about Miryu.
Diana, who had been brave even when confronting me initially, did not hold back.
Naturally, she would have moved to reveal the truth to my brother. In fact, Diana had previously taken off Miryu’s engagement ring and consulted with me.
“In the end, Miryu tried to overcome the situation with a fake pregnancy.”
Unfortunately, because it was fake, she fell into an even bigger trap.
“I should have suspected it from the moment she suddenly recommended the Swan Lake Wedding Hall.”
The Swan Lake Wedding Hall, which Miryu gladly accepted, was arranged by me specifically after requesting Nadia.
Especially since the owner of the Swan Lake Wedding Hall, Lady Temillar, was Nadia’s patron.
Near the Swan Lake Wedding Hall was a forest, making it easy to sense people’s movements through the timing of the trees, and it was easy to lead the emotionally distraught Miryu to my side.
“Miryu will never know for the rest of her life, right?”
In fact, the day before the wedding, Hessen knew that Miryu was an illegitimate child.
Listening to the situation of the wedding, it seemed like he wanted to marry Miryu regardless of her being an illegitimate child.
“But the last letter I sent through Diana.”
My sincere letter that only received mockery from Miryu’s scars. That letter touched Hessen’s guilt. And after that, Hessen gave up on marrying Miryu.
“Well, I don’t know the real reason behind it.”
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?”
