The text alone showed how angry Kite was. Luella hesitated, biting her lip, before reluctantly responding.
[/Party Yes.] [/Party Explain in detail what happened.]Luella shot one more glaring look at Hazen and Michel before recounting today’s events.
She had run away to Balder’s residence for about 30 minutes, and then Balder had come chasing after her.
However, she didn’t forget to mention that she had gone there because there was an excellent quest reward.
Of course, Kite didn’t seem to understand this at all. His subsequent chat messages were also filled with anger.
[/Party You met Balder alone just to get that measly staff?] [/Party A measly staff? Technically, I didn’t go to meet Balder. I went for a ‘territory capture’ quest. He was the only person worth visiting, so I set him as the destination.] [/Party Don’t play with words. You went to meet Balder alone anyway.]“Wow, Kite is really angry,” Lapellian muttered, to which Michel agreed.
“Why wouldn’t he be? Who would’ve thought that Lady Luella would do something so reckless?”
Luella wanted to retort to the criticisms around her, but she held back because she wasn’t entirely blameless.
After all, she didn’t feel entirely guilt-free.
[/Party I won’t do it again. Seeing Xenon today made me regret a lot.] [/Party Xenon, why?] [/Party Because Luella used her return skill before meeting Balder, he got furious and stormed in here. Xenon tried to stop him and got beaten up badly.]Hazen sighed deeply, looking toward the next room where Xenon was, filled with a sense of regret.
[/Party He dares to beat my guard?] [/Party I’ve also considered making this a diplomatic issue, but those people don’t abide by common sense. Still, I gave them a stern warning. I’m letting it slide just this once.] [/Party Did Balder leave peacefully?] [/Party Luella claimed she hasn’t returned yet, so what could I do? No one has seen her come in, so he had no choice but to believe her. He even searched the residence once.]For a while, no text appeared in the chat. As they all watched with bated breath, Kite finally spoke.
[/Party Luella, are you truly regretful?] [/Party Yes, absolutely.]Actually, it wasn’t that significant, but it felt like it had to be said that way at the moment.
[/Party Promise it won’t happen again.]Kite’s question furrowed my brow.
Did these people have no understanding of the useful skills I possessed? If I had thought it would be really dangerous, I never would have approached them.
So when Luella didn’t respond due to her own stubbornness, a text soon came in. After confirming it, Luella quickly changed her mind.
[/Party Answer, Luella Rominin.]It was easy to understand that the text was filled with anger.
[/Party Yes, I’ll try to do that.] [/Party Don’t evade the question vaguely; give a definite answer.] [/Party Fine, I promise. Now let’s talk about Xenon again.]Another moment of silence passed. It was clear that my answer displeased Kite. However, Kite, who knew he had to resolve this, soon gave a positive response.
[/Party Bringing Xenon’s family is fine. I’ve looked into who they are and even met them in person. But if that family enters the mansion, they’ll be shunned by those around them.] [/Party That’s already happening.] [/Party If we can’t conquer Kuran, Xenon’s family will never fit in with the people here.] [/Party Then we’ll have to make sure that doesn’t happen.]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?”
