Seeing his excited appearance without proper etiquette, Jaisang rubbed his forehead.
“…I have no choice but to trust you.”
Annoying Lucia nodded with a bow.
[Star Icon]A mural depicting the ancient story of the goddess Ashir of Life, a statue of the goddess.
And even a tree pattern symbolizing that goddess.
This place, the grand mansion of the Kilgis Kingdom, was filled with a sacredness that would not lose to the temple.
After the mansion’s worship, late at night with all the lights off.
In the study of that place, where they relied on moonlight, quiet conversations were going on.
“Well, Jaisang is looking for the last vein of the country. As expected, he intends to prevent the temple.”
The emotionless voice made the woman in front of him bow her head.
Then, the violet hair that had always been neat was loosened, flowing down, and glittered briefly in the moonlight.
“I apologize. Your Grace. It’s my fault that I didn’t expect such information to leak out.”
“The priests under the temple. Fine. Anyway, since that child is where our influence reaches.”
His response was dry.
It didn’t seem like a big deal.
But perhaps there was something else to consider separately, and his gloomy eyes turned toward her in a moment.
“Anyway, besides that, how are other things going?”
“Yes, thanks to Your Grace, persuading Lady Luvin’s wife wasn’t difficult. We will now work on expanding our influence.”
“Well, it may be a trivial existence now, but when that day comes, it will be a great help. Manage it well.”
With those words as the last, Duke Anton’s fingertip slightly flicked.
It was an unspoken command to leave this room.
Anna, the duke’s gashin, immediately stepped back at his gesture and turned her back.
And after taking a step and stopping, when her pupils slightly tilted to the left, it seemed like she remembered something.
Stopping her steps like that, the gaze of a fierce beast, as if it could devour her in a moment, was fixed behind her.
He seemed a little impatient.
Anyway, it wasn’t such a big deal.
“Then rest, Your Grace.”
[Ding] Tap.So, she came out of the duke’s study, and not long after, a small shadow appeared.
A small darkness at the corner of the corridor caught her eyes.
There was only one person who could cast such a size of shadow here.
“Master Evan. Haven’t you gone to bed yet? It’s a big problem to violate the rules.”
However, the child didn’t step back.
She just looked around and approached the lantern she was holding.
“…Has the duke given permission?”
It was an unusual question from the usually silent and proud child who seemed to be unusually vulnerable.
At that cautious question, Anna knelt with a pitiful face.
Then, meeting Evan’s eyes,
“It seems difficult. Master.”
“…But, you did well in kindergarten. Why…!”
“That. Was. Then.”
Her resolute face.
Although her features were delicate, Evan swallowed his words at the unknown, gloomy gaze.
Then, Anna, smiling slightly as if to reassure him, said,
“If Master gets along well with the princess and manages the relationship, wouldn’t the duke soon give permission?”
“…….”
‘…It’s a lie.’
The child, who did not get the desired answer this time either, gave up again.
She just looked at the moon hanging on the window, as if recalling someone dear, and headed to her room.
And as Anna watched her retreating figure, the corners of her mouth lifted again, casting a deep shadow beneath her broad forehead.
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?”
