The Villainess Doesn't Want Love (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 58
“Haaah, it’s cold.”
Aiden cupped his hands and blew warm breath into them.
Then he hurried his steps toward the orphanage.
Since the charity event where Karina exposed the corruption, Elior Orphanage had finally begun receiving proper support from the ducal house.
They had moved from a shabby, run-down warehouse into a proper building, and even the staff in charge had been replaced.
They were currently in the process of selecting a suitable new director to manage the orphanage.
In addition to Mitchell’s medicine, they continued to regularly receive monthly provisions for food, clothing, and shelter without interruption.
The children’s standard of living had improved immeasurably compared to before.
The former director, who had abused the children and embezzled funds, was now locked in prison.
Not only his accomplices but also many others involved in the illegal activities had each paid for their crimes.
‘All thanks to Duchess Karina.’
Aiden grinned broadly.
He wanted to do anything, however small, to be of help to the Duchess.
So even while working odd jobs all over town to earn money, he never failed to assist with the flower shop’s tasks.
Ever since helping to scatter newspapers throughout the alleys last time, he had continued doing various small favors for them.
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?”

She no longer loved Jeremiah.
No, you should be honest with him: tell him he abandoned you on your wedding night, took away all authority, and never checked on you. He never showed you any compassion. That’s what you need to say. Forget about love—he may have no respect for you because it all began on your wedding night. Keep that in mind.
“It was Mikhail who saved me. Since he rescued me, I should at least thank him.”
Technically, he did save her. I mean, she would’ve died if he hadn’t given her some of that healing power, if you know what I mean. 😆 😂
“Maybe, as you say, he only rescued me to fulfill his duty as a guard. But thank
Yo, I know this guy is furious right now because she’s standing her ground and defending her guard like a true warrior!

Between the father and Jeremy Jenny, you’re about to be on the list. Y’all really are pissing me off this chapter.
this was an OK chapter. Jeremy still pissed me off. Did Daddy need to be pushed off a cliff and we will have a good ending.
I think she could’ve cussed him out more and shown more of her hurt. She was drunk because, at this point, baby, you’re still holding onto the hurt when you don’t need to. Curse this man out from the depths of your soul.
