Renisha and Cassius staged a splendid scene.
If it had been like a farce so far, now it was like a charming scene between a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Viscount Denver spoke up.
“A beautiful couple.”
Those who had gathered sat up in their seats, trying to figure out Viscount Denver’s intention.
Viscount Denver was a powerful figure even within the empire.
There was a high possibility that Viscount Denver’s words contained various intentions.
How is the political faction in Hientri viewing this situation?
Is the emperor genuinely considering making Renisha the empress again?
As a former maid-turned-empress who had a child, isn’t it time to think about political influence rather than a child?
Viscount Denver smoothly diverted the concentrated attention with a gentle smile.
“Hientri has indeed received many benefits from Lady Renisha’s virtues. The Imperial Palace wouldn’t have served its purpose properly if it weren’t for Lady Renisha. Hientri’s administration would have collapsed. Surely, Hientri needs Lady Renisha.”
He intends to make Renisha the empress again!
The eyes of the messenger squad, who had been listening carefully, turned to the floor.
Holding Cassius’s hand, Renisha lightly jumped up.
The lace woven by craftsmen spread out like flower petals at that moment.
Under the light, the golden threads emitted a splendid glow.
Both the exterior and the interior were meticulously crafted; it was evident that Turiel had put in sincere effort.
“Turiel poured his heart into it.”
Denver chuckled. It was an appropriate performance.
Moreover, it was clear that Turiel had also designed Cassius’s outfit.
The lace pattern on Renisha’s dress was subtly incorporated into Cassius’s outfit.
“Um… What kind of discussions are taking place within Hientri? Although it might not be the most popular topic internationally, I think it’s quite hot within the country.”
“Do you think external perspectives and Hientri’s perspectives would be the same? Opinions here are diverse as well.”
“Hmm. How does Viscount Denver see it?”
To a straightforward question, Viscount Denver pursed his lips.
Denver, too, turned his gaze towards Renisha and Cassius.
The waltz was coming to an end.
The person under the chandelier’s colorful light, which suited the parting darkness perfectly, was Renisha.
She had a natural charm.
“Everyone seems to be stuck in their fixed ideas, so it’s hard for me to make any comments.”
“Stuck in fixed ideas?”
“Even if you just turn your gaze a little, you might see something new. Isn’t it a regrettable situation?”
“Wasn’t the viscount maintaining neutrality until now?”
“Now is the time when a choice is necessary.”
Viscount Denver turned his head, surveying the messenger squad.
Princes, dukes, and other individuals from various countries swallowed nervously, their faces tense.
“If the fate of a nation is at stake, wouldn’t you move, no matter how heavy your behind is?”
Viscount Denver pursed his lips.
“What does breaking prejudices mean?”
Finally, a question worthy of consideration was raised.
Viscount Denver turned his gaze to the man with a settled expression.
“Take it literally as seeing the situation from a new perspective. I’ve already given my answer. Ah, it’s time to rise. Since the song has ended, I’ll also step back. Pianse is waiting.”
Viscount Denver, who had risen gracefully, distanced himself from his seat.
Those who had been waiting until he was completely away opened their mouths.
“Do you know what that means?”
“Are you guessing, Your Highness? I don’t even have a guess.”
“Break your prejudices. Hientri can’t function without Lady Renisha. So far, Viscount Denver has only talked about Lady Renisha. Do you still not understand what that means?”
The one who had thrown the most effective question sighed slowly.
Are they blocked by fear, or are they not even considering the thought?
“Viscount Denver hasn’t considered the emperor at all.”
The prince cast a glance towards the devil on the imperial throne.
The reason they couldn’t muster the courage to ascend to the floor right now was to avoid Lexus’s gaze.
Thanks to Lexus’s eyes, there was already a precedent for being swept up in rumors.
“Those who follow Viscount Denver would be the same. According to my informants, Viscount Denver publicly claims neutrality, but there’s speculation that he may be communicating with Lady Renisha in secret.”
“How do you know that? Viscount Denver has no ties to Queen Canaria.”
“Recently, it’s said that Viscount Denver has been using Turiel’s dressing room more often. It’s common knowledge that Madam Turiel and Lady Renisha sailed together.”
“So, what are you trying to say?”
“It’s dim.”
The prince said cynically.
“Viscount Denver is considering a way to make Lady Renisha the empress.”
“That’s…!”
“He wants to change the fate of Hientri.”
A temporary silence passed.
It was an incredibly frightening statement.
The symbolic meaning and power that Hientri, considered the origin of the three serpent gods, possessed were tremendous.
Those who were scared cowered.
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?”
