[Full] The Villainess Just Wants to Live Quietly! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 33
I entered the lodging I’d been assigned, but there was no sign of Noxia anywhere.
With a puzzled expression, I turned to Askan and asked,
“Where’s Noxia? Didn’t you say she’d be waiting for me?”
Before Askan could reply, Jerin, who had been busily unpacking my belongings, heard my words and spoke up with a look of confusion.
“Huh? Lady Noxia? I haven’t seen her at all.”
What was this? Had he lied to me?
Seeing my incredulous expression, Askan lowered his head without the slightest change in his demeanor and said calmly,
“I must have been mistaken.”
Askan had no reason to deliberately deceive me, so although it felt somewhat absurd, it didn’t seem serious enough to scold him over.
It was strange that someone as sharp as him could make such a mistake, but my mind was already filled with too many other matters, so I decided not to dwell on it.
“Askan, if even you can get something like this confused, I guess tomorrow the sun will rise in the west.”
Feeling a little weary, I plopped down onto the bed.
Today was my first time participating in the academic festival, where I’d presented K01 and received even more attention than I’d anticipated.
I’d only sat down on the bed for a brief rest, but the mattress felt as plush as the one in my room, making me want to lie down right away.
“The bed’s quite comfortable. I’d heard rumors, but this lodging really isn’t bad at all.”
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?”

Not that she can humour Askan all the time, just because he is possessive and can’t control his temper. He might bring her trouble that way. So many people already see him as her weakness!
- The’ve got exposed! What are they going to do now?! And Tanasia is hurt.. that’s a serious problem.
- If we consider they are 15 years old (let’s forget that she was 27 in our world), , then it is kind of rushing things. So, him holding back is wise.

Even when male characters are unpleasant, the worst are always female antagonists.
