“Oh my. The lovely little master has come to visit the Blanchett Marquis.”
“No wonder they said there was a strange charisma even though it’s a baby.”
Perhaps that was because the unique energy of the spirit could be felt like that.
But without explicitly mentioning it, I kept stroking the baby’s back, which clung closely to my body.
At that moment, the baby, who had closed its eyes, suddenly opened them wide.
“Hooom.”
As soon as the baby woke up, it turned its head as if searching for something. Each time it did so, its chubby cheeks shook.
“Ugh. It’s too much for my heart…!”
Whenever the baby’s gaze met theirs, the maids erupted in admiration as if they were about to collapse.
‘What is it looking for?’
Seeming anxious, the baby snuggled back into my arms.
“Are you looking for something?”
“Kawoo.”
Is this an answer?
“All right, all right.”
I don’t understand what it’s saying.
“Is everyone gathered in the madam’s room after finishing their work?”
In Patricia’s voice, all the maids froze.
“Mi-Miss Patricia.”
“Go back to your positions, everyone. I’ll check if you’ve all finished your tasks after I’m done here.”
“Yes, yes!”
The maids rushed outside. Patricia, who seemed dissatisfied with the maids’ movements, approached me with a letter in hand.
“Madam. I apologize for disturbing your break, but a letter has arrived in the name of Celestia.”
“Celestia?”
“Yes. Please check it once.”
Although the mark of Celestia was engraved on the letter, it turned out to be a letter from the Celestia nun.
[I would like to invite the Lady of Blanchett Marquis to the temple where I reside. [Dash]Stella, Celestia Nun.] Betty cautiously spoke up.“Could it be that I’ve finally lost my mind while praying to God?”
“Betty Blanc.”
Patricia sternly called Betty.
“Be careful with your words when the spirit baby is present.”
Well, since she’s a nun, she’s an important person.
“Even if the nun is unworthy, humble, and a useless creature, how can you speak it out loud?”
“Miss Patricia, I-I didn’t say it like that.”
“…….”
Looking at the letter, I asked Patricia.
“Do I have a reason to respond to the nun’s invitation?”
“No.”
Patricia answered neatly. After a brief contemplation, I said,
“Then I should reply that I will visit the temple soon.”
“What?”
“It seems more justified to visit when there’s no reason than to go with a purpose.”
The temple questioned the news of the visit from the Lady of Blanchett Marquis.
“Did the Lady Blanchett Marquis really say she would visit this temple today?”
“That’s right.”
“I thought she would refuse for sure… Does the Lady Blanchett Marquis feel conscious of the reputation of Princess Stella?”
“I don’t know about that.”
The temple awaited the arrival of the marquis’s wife.
“Is that carriage the Blanchett Marquis’s carriage?”
The carriage looked somewhat modest for the Lady Blanchett Marquis. Soon, the door of the carriage opened.
However, the one who came out was not the marquis’s wife.
“I’m sorry, but who is the guest…?”
“Oh, we are the Alvert family. We’re from the United Kingdom, and we came because the Lady Blanchett Marquis created an opportunity for the Lady to correct any misunderstandings directly.”
“Well, to be precise, she didn’t say that it was to apologize for the damage suffered in the previous incident.”
“Oh, is that so.”
The priests all widened their eyes.
“…What?”
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?”
