To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 233
The letter sent by the Emperor’s messenger recorded the time for the urgent noble assembly—precisely half an hour before the banquet’s scheduled start.
Though both carriages entered the same palace, one headed toward the splendid banquet hall while the other made its way to the solemn and austere Grand Council Chamber of the Imperial Palace.
Nobles from the former Emperor’s faction and the former nobles’ faction cast discontented glances toward the banquet hall, from which elegant melodies drifted. A dazzlingly decorated entrance to the banquet hall was lined with a long procession of carriages.
The nobles heading toward the council chamber briefly paused their gaze at the banquet hall. Had there been no meeting today, they wouldn’t have come to the palace at all.
Yet now, if given the choice, they would rather go to the banquet hall—anywhere but this council chamber, where one couldn’t predict what might be said.
But after only a moment of lowering their heads, the nobles quickly resumed walking. Upon entering the council chamber, the nobles of the Emperor’s faction and the nobles’ faction lifted their chins high.
“You’ve arrived already.”
Neutral faction nobles, along with Nerea Esteban and Alejandro Rosa, were already seated in the council chamber. The nobles blinked in surprise as they looked at Nerea, Alejandro, and Count Illautzer.
They clearly knew this was a formal meeting, yet their attire was fit for a banquet—especially Nerea Esteban’s.
Normally, formal meetings called for court regalia, but today Nerea Esteban appeared as though she were attending the banquet—magnificent and elegant.
From her crimson hair, half-pinned up with a large diamond hairpin, to her dress crafted from blood-red fabric lavishly embroidered with gold and silver thread, and the diamond accessories adorning her ears and neck—every detail shimmered with opulence.
Yet the discerning nobles did not view her attire as merely beautiful.
To boldly incorporate House Esteban’s signature red together with imperial gold thread—symbols of the Emperor himself—was a deliberate statement. Sensing their gazes, Nerea slowly lifted her head.
Her pale face, once thought naively innocent, now radiated an alluring yet dangerous aura as her eyelashes fluttered.
Once regarded as competent only as a knight, she now unmistakably exuded the presence of a true house head.
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?”
