To You Whom I Donโt Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 083
83.
Anna, who had been explaining innocently, looked at Rosetta and instantly burst into shock. Despite being so startled that her face turned deathly pale, the fact that she still didnโt let go of the dress she tightly grippedโฆ showed she truly had an impeccable work ethic. Anna dropped the dresses onto the living room couch as if throwing them, then stammered in a voice that sounded close to fainting.
โWh-what happened to your faceโฆ?โ
โWhat? My face?โ
Rosetta, unaware of what startled Anna, casually touched her face with her hand. As a result, the ink line straight across her nose began to smear, making Annaโs face turn three times paler.
โTh-thatโฆ umโฆ h-how dreadfulโฆ thoseโฆ those terribleโฆ m-mustachesโฆ?โ
Only then did Rosetta realize why Anna was so horrified. Anna swiftly approached, carefully wiped Rosettaโs face with the hem of her sleeve, and upon confirming the dark smudges werenโt facial hair but ink, her expression turned terrifying.
โTomorrowโs tea party youโve been so anxious about is right around the corner! And look at this mess!โ
Anna glared with both hands planted firmly on her hips, as if demanding an excuse. At this point, one couldnโt even tell who the real mistress was. Rosetta meekly protested.
โI didnโt do this on purposeโฆโ
โJust stay still.โ
Anna grabbed Rosettaโs chin as if to hold it in place and wiped her face with a damp handkerchief. The motion started gentle, but grew rougher and rougherโclearly, her emotions were increasingly seeping into her actions. After what felt like an eternity, Anna finally released Rosettaโs face, looking satisfied.
โWell, at least I caught it in time. No lasting traces remain. And fortunately, the stains were mostly on the faceโฆโ
Before she could finish speaking, Anna spotted the uneven smudges on Rosettaโs hair. Rosetta let out a soft โEek,โ instinctively trying to cover it with her hand, but Annaโs glare had already sharpened dangerously.

Male lead Asks for a Divorce Every Day
Itโs not often you come across a plot like this in the female-dominant genre โ make sure to check it out!
This is a novel Iโm 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 scientistโrational and logical. Even when she falls for the male lead, she doesnโt let her emotions cloud her decisions.
If you push through the first few chapters, youโll 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 puzzleโexcept 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:ย 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 heavenโs 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 ownerโs family is about to go bankrupt, and her husband wants a divorce.
Even worse, sheโs stuck with a research system full of restrictions.
Zhu Wansheng: ? Is this the destiny of a research dog?
โโ
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, โDivorce or not?โ The intoxicated Zhu Wansheng mumbles vaguely, โI thinkโฆ itโs notโฆ itโs notโฆ impossible!โ
โโ
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 lipsticksโฆ all shall bow to the power of modern technology!
The original ownerโs 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, itโs the pinnacle of her lifeโฆ
โโ
But there are always those who canโt stand to see her doing well. Jealousy, scheming, assassination attempts โ 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 bloodโฆ
Zhu Wansheng feels guilty, โI can grant you one wish.โ
Gu Yingqing tentatively circles his arms around her, carefully resting his head in the crook of her neck, pleading softly, โI regret it. Can we not divorce?โ
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: โMy lady, may I apply it for you?โ
Cool fingertips lightly brush her lips. His Adamโs apple bobs as he leans in for a light bite.
Zhu Wansheng: ?
Gu Yingqing: It smells so good, I wanted to taste itโฆ
On a warm spring day, Zhu Wansheng tries a new perfume: โSpring Night.โ Gu Yingqing corners her against a wall.
Warm breath lingers on her neck.
โMy lady, from now on, may I test the fragrances for you?โ
