“Then you should have practiced enough not to make a mistake in the first place.”
“……That’s true, but everyone is bound to make mistakes. For example, both Your Highness and I could make a mistake while dancing like this…….”
“I don’t make mistakes like that.”
Ashud cut off Delina’s words. Delina resigned. It was astonishing how these wouldbe villains were all so stubbornly individualistic.
The music was coming to an end. Delina recalled the next move.
‘Surely, it’s the move where the male partner grabs the female partner’s waist and turns her around….’
It was the most challenging and energyconsuming move in this song, so usually only adults performed it as is, while children often omitted it. But Ashud’s hand, gradually going down towards Delina’s waist, prompted Delina to say in a small voice,
“Your Highness. You’re not going to lift me, are you?”
“Of course.”
“No, you don’t have to. Initially, children don’t have to do this move.”
“The royalty can’t fail to do it.”
Despite Delina’s urgent refusal, Ashud grabbed her waist. Simultaneously, Delina’s feet floated in the air.
“……!”
Now that he’d lifted her, all that was left was to turn her. But for some reason, Ashud couldn’t move.
“……Your Highness.”
“……”
“Heavy, aren’t you.”
“No.”
It was already evident that Ashud’s arm was trembling, and Delina stared blankly into space, fearing he might collapse any moment.
And she remembered. The jewels hidden here and there, and the dress that had become considerably heavy because of them.
Several young children stared in astonishment at Delina, who was suspended in midair. Delina’s mouth went dry.
“Better…… put me down.”
“……”
Ashud didn’t respond to Delina’s words but slowly put her down. Her toes felt the ground.
An awkward silence passed quickly between them. Delina looked around unnecessarily.
It seemed that what had just happened was quite shocking, and she felt people’s eyes on her and Ashud. And among those people, Delina found an alltoofamiliar face.
“……!”
It was undoubtedly Gideon. Delina, whose eyes met Gideon’s for a moment, quickly turned her head. Her mind was in turmoil.
‘How, how did he get here……!’
Gideon certainly didn’t come to the royal palace to make his debut in the past. But Gideon was undoubtedly in the royal palace. Delina slightly opened her mouth in disbelief.
‘Don’t tell me he followed me all the way to the royal palace to find me…….’
Gideon would certainly recognize her even with a wig. Just as Delina was about to turn around, someone grabbed her.
“Where are you going?”
“Me?”
“We have to do the turning part. Definitely.”
“Me?”
Already resolved, Ashud’s eyes were aflame with determination. However, Delina’s concern was with Gideon, far away.
“The royalty must know how to do this.”
“But Your Highness, the song is almost over.”
“We can still do it.”
“But Your Highness…….”
As Ashud and she talked, Gideon slowly approached Delina. Delina, who was shocked internally, turned her gaze to Ashud in haste. Now she really had no time.
“Yes, I understand. Whatever happens, we just have to do that turning move, right?”
“What?”
There was no time. In sync with the music that rushed towards the end, Delina, with an extremely serious expression, placed her hands on Ashud’s waist.
“What are you doing……!”
Before Ashud could stop Delina, it happened. Delina, who had suddenly lifted Ashud, spun her body around and naturally set Ashud down. The music ended perfectly in time with her movements, and afterwards, the hall was enveloped in silence.
“…….”
Ashud wore a stunned and bewildered expression.
“Let’s, let’s step back now, Your Highness.”
Still appearing to be in shock and only able to move his mouth, Ashud retreated, and Delina, in haste, bowed and quickly left the place.
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?”
