Nodding at the Countess’s answer, Ruela said, “Call the maid to take with us. Where is the lord?”
Considering the turmoil, he seemed to be absent from inside the mansion. Lady Laine answered after opening the door and calling the maid inside.
“He went out again, saying he would check the situation outside. It seems he went to see whether the border is blocked or not and needs to know before departure.”
“What are the names of the maid and the servant?”
The Countess, expressing confusion, provided the names of the two individuals when Ruela sent a party invitation to both the Count and Countess as well as the commoners.
“When letters appear in the air, press ‘accept.'”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Countess opened her mouth wide.
“How do you press it?”
“Place your finger on the word ‘accept’ and press. Explain it to your husband and servant later.”
Observing the Countess, who was marveling at the air with a puzzled expression, Ruela asked about the original purpose of coming here.
“Where is the mansion of Maria Kuran in the capital?”
“Maria Kuran? It’s in Nerea Ga near the lakeside. It’s a famous mansion known for its beautiful scenery. It’s also close to the capital.”
“Do you know the exact address?”
“No. Why do you ask? Are you trying to find Viscount Kaman?”
Ruela shook her head.
“No. I’m going to capture Maria Kuran. She’s also a monster.”
“Oh, my. Is she called a monster like a king? Is that it?”
Seeing the Countess, who seemed surprised and about to faint, Ruela added without blinking.
“Count Kuran too. If you have acquaintances who haven’t escaped yet, let them know this fact quickly. If you don’t want to die, don’t go near the Kuran family and their associates.”
As the Countess blinked and nodded, Ruela turned on the screen, opened the map, and spoke.
“Do you see the map in the square window floating in the air?”
Before the Countess could answer, the maid behind her frantically nodded.
Since the Count and the servant were outside and couldn’t hear the explanation, they hadn’t entered the party window yet, but the maid seemed to have followed Ruela’s instructions after hearing the explanation.
Looking at the names now floating under the party window, Ruela asked the maid.
“Do you also know where Maria Kuran’s mansion is?”
“Yes, it’s around here.”
The maid instinctively raised her hand and pressed a spot on the map.
“You catch on quickly. Well done.”
Blushing with embarrassment at Ruela’s praise, the maid looked shy.
While watching this, Kite spoke.
“It’s fortunate that it’s not too far from here. If we take a carriage, it will take less than 10 minutes.”
Upon hearing his words, the Countess, as if coming to her senses, shook her head and asked.
“Are you planning to go outside? Right now, the military is determined to catch people from Peroz.”
“They think we’re inside Peroz Mansion. We need to move quickly at a time like this.”
Having reassured the Countess, Ruela summoned a carriage and said.
“Shall we go then? We’ve identified the mansion’s location, and the teleport cooldown has also reset, so we can depart.”
Looking at the suddenly appearing carriage, Ruela warned the bewildered Countess.
“Right away, find your husband and have him accept the invitation I sent. After that, keep an eye on the party window, and when I say it’s time to depart, come to Maria Kuran’s mansion immediately.”
“Is Miss Romin staying here?”
“No, I’m going too.”
“But how do we communicate with you?”
Ruela explained to the Countess and the maid how to use the party chat.
Once again, the maid quickly grasped the concept. While Ruela was making sure the maid had completely understood how to use the party chat, Kite spoke to the Countess.
“Pack only the essentials for the journey. It would be better to load everything onto the carriage as soon as we depart.”
As the Countess nodded in agreement, Kite added, “And make sure you keep the luggage to a minimum.”
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?”
