To Become Family with the Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 58
-Slap.
Father’s hand struck Rodney’s cheek fiercely. No one had time to stop it.
I had never heard such a sharp sound in my life. When the clash of blades echoed through the entrance hall, I felt as if time itself had frozen.
When I came to my senses, Rodney’s head had turned to the side. The cheek facing forward was red as if burned by fire. A twitch tugged at the corner of his mouth, numb from the blow.
“You are the eldest son of House Marceau, Rodney! That will never change, even if you die and come back to life. Until now, you’ve grown up in abundance thanks to the Marceau name. Yet now that you’re a bit older, you want to abandon House Marceau outright… You’re ungrateful, caring only for your own desires.”
Perhaps regaining his composure after that slap, Father’s voice grew calm. Yet Rodney’s expression remained utterly unchanged. He lightly touched the cheek that had been struck.
“Abundance is important, yes. But is that abundance truly something you achieved yourself?”
“I’ve devoted my entire life to House Marceau… You, who don’t understand that, have no right to judge me.”
“I, too, have done everything asked of me for House Marceau. I once took pride in being a Marceau and truly worked for the family. But Father, I’ve now realized that House Marceau is no longer my pride—it’s my shame.”
“What nonsense is this?”
“Do you think I know nothing? About how House Marceau rose to this position?”
Father paused briefly, as if stung by guilt.
“You don’t understand, Rodney. Business has always been…”
“I don’t want to hear such hollow excuses. Ever since I was young, I’ve resented you—and now I despise House Marceau itself. If someone like me, who feels this way, stays here and inherits the company, what will become of House Marceau—the very house you claim to have protected with your life?”
Rodney knew something his siblings didn’t. I could tell it was the tangled web of moral corruption hidden behind House Marceau.
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?”
