“You were alone….. I thought at first that you weren’t the lady. You didn’t even have a maid by your side…..”
Serun trembled at Jane’s words, gnawing on his lower lip.
‘Why would the lady…? No way…!’
A person popped into Jane’s mind at that moment. A person who despised Rosé to insanity.
“Jane!”
Jane, whose legs had given out, swayed. Serun caught her unsteady body.
“….I, I’m sure the previous earl intends to do something to the lady!”
She spoke while trembling, her face deathly pale.
“Do you, Serun, know anything? You’re under him!”
Jane, having lost her focus, desperately held onto Serun.
“The master had nothing to do with it. There was no particular order given to me.”
“Are you sure? There could be others, how can you be so sure!”
“Jane, please. Lower your voice. If there is another like you said, both you and I are in danger.”
He desperately said to Jane who was screaming like mad. Only then did Jane lower her voice, staring blankly at Serun.
“Why are you doing this to me!”
“Jane……”
“All was a lie, your approach to me, to the lady, all of it was scripted. But why do you keep coming close? Why do you worry about the lady!”
Jane stared at Serun with her trembling eyes.
Serun was also quite complicated. After he spouted those cold words towards Jane, he hovered around her. It was reasonable that Jane couldn’t understand.
“….I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but my feelings for you have always been genuine.”
“….Then why did you say those things back then!”
Jane was greatly confused at Serun’s words.
“I was upset because my identity was suddenly exposed. I thought what would happen if you got hurt meddling in the master’s business….. You’ve heard too much. So I was worried. I was worried that what I was doing would harm you.”
Serun’s confessionlike voice echoed in Jane’s heart.
“Serun….”
Should I believe his words?
The person who deceived me and the lady with his innocent gaze.
‘No…… I can’t believe him.’
A wound once made does not heal easily. Jane, who was in turmoil, couldn’t get rid of her suspicion towards Serun.
She thought it was certain that he was approaching her with some purpose.
‘Even the fact that the lady was kidnapped could be a lie.’
She might have been lured to Rosé by Cedric who found out her secret that day and killed her.
Jane couldn’t understand Serun’s intentions. She had no idea whether he was sincere or not.
Seeing Jane’s downcast eyes, Serun sensed it.
Ah, this woman can no longer trust me. The person who once gave me endless trust is no longer here.
Jane and Serun stared at each other for a long while.
Their fervent feelings for each other remained the same, but it was hard to return to the way things were.
Serun, who was holding Jane, slowly let go. Jane’s arm fell heavily.
When Serun let go, Jane’s gaze lost its focus and wavered. Even though she doubted Serun, it seemed she wanted him to hold onto her until the end.
Jane gave a bitter smile and lowered her head. Then she turned her back to Serun.
One step, another step.
Her steps were slow, as if she had become a tortoise. Jane moved slowly, as if she was hoping Serun would catch her.
But, Serun didn’t hold Jane.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]A woman’s humming could be heard from Rosé’s empty room. The owner of the voice was Doana.
With Rosé gone, the Earl of Wens’s house had become Doana’s world.
Now, everyone was watching Doana. Gwen, who used to ignore me, was gone, and Rosé, who was like a thorn in the eye, was also driven out by herself.
A smile naturally appeared on her face.
She no longer wore the maid’s clothes. She was wearing Rosé’s dress.
“Hmm. It takes a while to fit the new dress, so I should wear this for the time being.”
She didn’t really like wearing Rosé’s clothes, but she was happy to take off her maid’s clothes.
And since Eric said he would get a lot of new dresses, there was no problem.
At least for now.
Doana, wearing Rosé’s dress and looking in the mirror, suddenly sighed.
“Why does this rash last so long. I hope it doesn’t leave a scar?”
It was hideous at first glance. She was covering her face with gauze every day, but she was a little uneasy.
Even her hands, let alone her face, should not have changed like this.
“…… Is it because of this that Eric has been avoiding me lately?”
Eric, who was pushing first, has been quite quiet lately. It wasn’t that he didn’t hug Doana, but the frequency definitely decreased than before.
“…… I hope there’s no other woman.”
She chewed her lips nervously.
Eric was so inconsistent that she couldn’t relax for a moment.
If she becomes the Countess, she might be able to live more at ease than now.
Since she had a child, it was only a matter of time before she took the position of Countess. Doana was happy with everything.
“It seems you’re trying to fix this mother’s fate.”
She gently stroked her stomach and whispered softly.
“I hope it’s a son.”
If you’re going to continue the succession, it’s better to have a son. And that son will establish her position.
“Come out healthy, resembling your father.”
Her room, where Doana was murmuring alone, suddenly opened.
A middleaged woman in gorgeous dress was standing arrogantly at the door with her servants.
It was Tersia. She smirked when she saw Doana.
‘Who is it?’
Doana quickly scanned the lady standing in front of her.
“Are you Doana? Are you pregnant with our son’s baby?”
At the word ‘son’, Doana finally realized who Tersia was.
‘It seems she’s Eric’s mother.’
Doana instinctively wrapped her belly and was wary of Tersia.
However, Tersia’s actions were shocking enough to make such cautious actions meaningless.
“Thank you, my child.”
What came out of her mouth was not sarcasm, but warm encouragement.
Of course, all this was a lie, but there was no way Doana could know that.
Tersia approached Doana with a gentle voice. And then she gently embraced Doana.
“Huh!”
“What is this……”
The maids around were buzzing at her unexpected behavior.
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?”
