The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 133
Herdin, having learned that Katrina was involved in Esmeralda’s death, immediately descended to the capital.
The first words Herdin spoke upon quietly seeking out Katrina were neither an interrogation nor anger…
“Did you know that Her Ladyship visited the Empress’s palace that day?”
It was a question of whether she had used her own daughter’s life.
“How could a mother ever use her child’s life like that? I didn’t kill that woman!”
Katrina desperately denied her guilt. Watching her, Herdin gave a cold, mocking laugh.
Seeing her scream furiously with a face so like Blair’s filled him with revulsion.
“So then, you admit you used your wife—the very victim of that incident—as a means to conceal the truth and escape suspicion?”
“…”
“Her Ladyship must have been quite fortunate that day, suffering an accident right there before His Majesty.”
Katrina, unable to immediately retort against Herdin’s sarcasm, finally spoke up after a delay.
“I…!”
But at that moment, Herdin, who had been staring at her with icy eyes, spoke first.
“I won’t ask you any more about that incident. However…”
He swallowed his rising anger and continued.
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?”

this is actually brutal 😭💔 like everything went from 100 to 0 in seconds… dude really said “reset the timeline” after losing everything
This is very sad.
What suffering! Herdin loved Blair with all his heart, but didn’t know how to show it. Blair, who longed for that love, had already received it without even knowing it, and both died without being able to enjoy the pleasures of happiness. 😭😭😭😭

I want to see your eyes.
Running away from her…never explain properly what is the real problem…never spent time with her then tell her you want to see your reflection in her eyes…sick bastard
If I return with my memories intact, I’ll never let you go. Unable to separate m
And yet you were unable to let her go regardless! All in all you were less selfish in your first life than the second but you were still DUMB AS A ROCK!!!
He wanted to find a solution as soon as possible and return peacefully to Blair
Now I’m torn. Should I feel sorry for the baby not having his father around or the ML who only want to secure the safety of his family?!? 😭😭😭
