I entered the palace with Johann. The palace I saw for the first time at the banquet was only a part.
“It’s much larger than I thought.”
Even though the guest palace where the nobles stayed was smaller than the main palace, it gave an overwhelming feeling.
“Perhaps this is what they were aiming for.”
The royal guests are generally powerful figures comparable to the imperial family. So, the royal family might be showcasing their power to prevent them from daring to climb.
“Well, I don’t have any intention of opposing the royal family.”
Isabella, the queen of Roylum, decided to meet me at the tea party. Of course, other noblewomen from Roylum were also present.
“Viscountess Blancchet, it’s been a while.”
“Yes, it’s good to see you again.”
Noblewomen from Roylum bowed their heads and greeted me.
“I’ve heard a lot about King Isabella. As I heard, you are extremely beautiful.”
“That’s right. How can you be so beautiful…”
I greeted them with a bright smile.
“You flatter me. By the way, where is Diana?”
“The child went to meet other imperial nobles instead of me. I suppose there won’t be a chance to talk until the hunting party is over.”
The people gathered as royal guests seemed to socialize through the tea party before the festival began.
“I haven’t officially debuted yet, so my position is ambiguous, but…”
In other words, theoretically, it would be difficult to attend, but in reality, if one wanted to attend, it was a situation where it could be done.
“Doesn’t the representative of the king need to come?”
“Who could argue when I say I’m coming?”
When I opened my eyes, other noblewomen added with laughter.
“The words of the representative of King Roylum are right. Viscountess Blancchet doesn’t have to worry.”
“I’ve seen the representative of King Roylum for a long time, but it’s the first time I’ve seen someone like this. It’s strange.”
“Nonsense.”
Queen Isabella raised her head and looked at the maid behind her.
“I heard that the Viscountess is coming, so I brought the gift that caught her interest last time.”
The maid placed the gift on the table. An ancient tapestry depicting a mythological scene unfolded.
“There were different paintings, but you brought them all correctly.”
The tapestry seemed quite long, but all the stories from the myth were there.
“Angels bestowing blessings on the kingdom to protect it. That’s all in here.”
Queen Isabella nodded.
“Yes, this is the tapestry that I received from the former Viscountess Blancchet. Of course, it wasn’t like this, and I happened to obtain this last piece by chance.”
Ancient myths are a common theme for many artists. However, the more delicately a picture depicts a myth, the higher its value.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a picture with such a detailed background.”
The picture of the triumph being blessed by angels is almost like seeing it for the first time. Other noblewomen admired the tapestry.
“To give a divine tapestry as a gift, that’s what King Roylum’s representative cherishes the most….”
“I’m truly envious, Viscountess Blancchet. Representative of the king, won’t you give me a tapestry too?”
“Oh, come now, why are you saying that, all of you? Viscountess Blancchet might find it burdensome.”
I expressed my gratitude and carefully examined the tapestry.
“Come to think of it, there are trees near the triumph.”
For some reason, those trees continued to catch my eye. Queen Isabella placed an emerald earring on the tapestry.
“This is a gift that the former Viscountess Blancchet gave me in return. We established a friendship while she supplied materials needed by the Blancchet family. It’s something I received.”
“Why such a precious item…?”
“This earring is a precious item to me as well.”
Queen Isabella spoke in a locked voice as if reminiscing.
“It’s the first time someone helped me since my husband’s death, and it was a gift from the former Viscountess Blancchet. Somehow, I felt like I should give this item.”
I pondered while looking at the vivid emerald.
“Johann’s mother was indeed a good person.”
Both Patricia and Queen Isabella. Seeing people who still miss her even after such a long time has passed says something.
“I will accept it with gratitude.”
As I held the emerald earring, a tingling sensation surged through my fingertips. Suddenly, strange characters appeared behind the trees near the tapestry.
Like writing that was bent like mist, I carefully examined those characters.
“Isi… dor?”
It’s the name of the fairy who turned into black vines last time.
“Why is the name of that fairy here?”
The noblewomen began to bring up topics about society.
“I heard many knights are trying to swear loyalty to Saint Stella.”
“There’s also a knight who is proposing this time. There’s no law that says a saint can’t get married, right?”
I continued to stare at the name, completely unable to concentrate on the noblewomen’s conversation. The trees, noticing the turmoil in my heart, rustled.
[Dash] Why is Isidor’s name coming up here?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?”
