‘He’s still trying to keep me in his arms.’
Even in the afternoon, I never crossed the threshold of this room.
He even tried to hug me and take me to the bathroom when I said I wanted to wash.
After accepting various things from him, my stomach was quite full.
On the other hand, the plate he brought in seemed new.
“Kashaar?”
The hand that was carrying strawberries to me stopped.
He was giving me time, as if telling me to speak.
“I’ll go to the kitchen for a moment.”
“Why?”
“I want to make something for you.”
His sense of taste was still not completely restored.
Maybe he was postponing the meal because he could only taste what I made.
‘And it’s said to help with madness.’
Whether he knew my inner thoughts or not, Kashaar nodded.
“It’s okay. Just stay by my side.”
“But still…”
Ignoring me, Kashaar buried his head in my neck as if he hadn’t heard.
Perhaps it was because of yesterday’s incident.
Today, he seemed particularly lacking in energy.
“Is there anywhere that hurts?”
Could it be that a headache had returned?
As I asked with concern, Kashaar flinched.
Laughing softly against my neck, he lifted his head and said, “It hurts. So don’t leave.”
“…You’re lying.”
It wasn’t mourning, but it was a lie about being in pain.
Moreover, he seemed to have no intention of deceiving.
“I’ll get up now.”
As I tried to leave his embrace, Kashaar grabbed my hand and pressed it against his forehead.
The palm that touched his forehead was warm.
“Oh? It seems like you have a bit of a fever.”
“Is that so?”
As if appealing that he was in pain, Kashaar playfully slapped my hand on his cheek.
“It really hurts, so my fiancée should take care of me.”
It was a pure mischief.
However, was this because of directly experiencing his madness?
Even this sight seemed like a giant beast was coquettishly acting towards me.
“Alright.”
Once again, I couldn’t leave Kashaar’s side today.
It was after we finished our meal.
With a knock, Eshtra and Mikhail entered.
Although they pretended not to notice me in Kashaar’s arms, I was just happy to see new faces.
‘A person, they’re human!’
They were faces I had never seen before in three days, coming only when I was asleep.
I called Eshtra, who was trying to clear the meal.
“I’ll take care of the dishes.”
“Just a moment!”
The hands that were cleaning stopped.
I spoke to Eshtra, feeling as if everything was fine.
“Eshtra, how are the princes? What about the annex?”
“They were a bit surprised, but both of them are fine. The annex is being quickly restored with the help of the wizards.”
It was a piece of news from the outside that I heard after a long time.
“Thank goodness. The princes didn’t come looking for me, did they?”
“Prince Michael said to soothe you. Right now, he is playing with the foals.”
It seemed like they followed a new nanny more than the old one.
I was relieved that they were fine, but there was an unavoidable sense of disappointment.
‘Even if I raise them, it’s useless!’
I tried to sneak out under the pretext of going out because of the kids, but it was impossible.
‘Come to think of it, I didn’t even thank Freesia.’
Just coming to play, but ending up working and going back.
I should ask for a video call later.
After Eshtra left with the tray, Mikhail approached and said, “Excuse me.”
A letter was in Mikhail’s hand. He handed it to Kashaar.
“A message has arrived from the Shaina Temple.”
From the temple, to Kashaar?
While I couldn’t take my eyes off the letter, Kashaar, on the other hand, refused to accept it.
“Ignore it.”
“It’s a letter with the seal of sanctity.”
Not from a duke, but from sanctity.
Still, Kashaar seemed unwilling to accept it.
Mikhail’s gaze turned to me.
I reached out my hand towards him.
“Give it to me.”
Only then did Mikhail show a relieved expression.
In front of everyone, I opened the letter.
‘This is…’
As soon as I opened the letter, I saw the seals of sanctity and the saint side by side.
I read the first line of the letter.
“The saint’s first blessing?”
“…Is it written like that?”
Mikhail asked, surprised.
“Yes. Kashaar’s name… is written.”
When a saint ascends, they choose the recipient of their first blessing.
It is an honorable act that cannot be refused unless it is an emperor in a country with a Shaina Temple.
Usually, it would be appropriate to bless the descendants who will succeed the throne in each country, but this time, Kashaar Vladis’s name was included in the list of this blessing.
‘Even the date of the visit is specified?’
This was at the level of official notification.
Moreover, this was different from the original.
‘Elcias’s first blessing went to the emperor.’
In the imperial palace, a party is held to congratulate the saint.
The original content was that Elcias blessed the emperor on the order of the temple.
“…This is almost like coercion.”
Mikhail wore a serious expression for a moment.
“Huh?”
Kashaar took the letter from my hand and snatched it away.
After throwing the letter anywhere, he hugged me again.
“I’m insane. Tell them I might kill them just by visiting.”
“But…”
Mikhail’s words trailed off.
If it was relayed like that, the emperor would undoubtedly step forward.
Mikhail’s gaze turned to me again, silently asking me to somehow calm Kashaar down.
“It might help with the curse?”
At my words, Kashaar let out a bitter laugh.
“You’re the only one needed. So stay by my side.”
Somehow, it seemed like my fiancé had gone mad in a different direction.
“For now… I can’t refuse.”
In the end, the visit became an established fact.
One week after the letter arrived.
A flag with the emblem of the goddess Shaina was fluttering in front of the mansion.
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?”
