Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 108
She slowly stepped backward. It seemed her attempt to appease the seemingly dim-witted kidnappers had failed.
If only these wrists would come loose, she might still manage something.
While the two men exchanged words, Cordelia frantically shook her arms. But however tightly they’d bound her with rope, it didn’t budge an inch.
[Should we kill her?]
[Yeah. Bury her in this forest—who’d ever know?]
[Do you… really think so?]
Tom perked up as if tempted by the suggestion. Their gazes, which had been drifting away from Cordelia, turned toward her again. The moment their eyes met, Cordelia immediately spun around and bolted.
“Ah!”
[Where do you think you’re going?]
Naturally, her escape ended almost instantly. Roku seized Cordelia’s arm firmly and dragged her back to the front of the carriage. She struggled fiercely, but it was no match for the strength of a grown man. Tom grabbed her other arm and pinned it down as he spoke.
[Should I go get the hammer from the carriage?]
[If there’s blood, someone might get suspicious. Let’s just strangle her.]
[Ah, right.]
Cordelia’s spine grew colder with every word of their calm murder plot.
Was she really going to die here? In such a ridiculous way?
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?”
[Humorous female scientist vs scheming live-in son-in-law male lead]
[Touch the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the screen to move to the next chapter if you want.]
Cordelia’s life is heartbreaking. Almost everyone around her (excluding Leonard, her mother, and Lani) has used, abused, or harbored ill intentions toward her, despite her only wanting to help everyone.
I hate this. I loved this story so far but is she serious?? These type of fls pmo man. He was literally ready to sacrifice himself and clearly didn’t mind the fact that she’s half-demon why does SHE care so much 😭😣
I’m kind of upset she’s ashamed of her fathers blood in her he’s such a cutie 💔
It was finally going so well…but like always she learns something new and takes a step back. Hopefully she will soon properly communicate with him.
