Of course, going back like this was extremely dangerous.
It was better not to save the guy who wanted to kill me, and maybe it’s even better for the world if the villain dies early, but…
Why is Idrish dying there now? If he dies out of my sight, I’ll just go.
I turned my footsteps with a tearful feeling, moving faster than before.
Idrish had been in the same spot a moment ago.
“I’m really a stupid fool.”
I muttered and sat next to Idrish’s head.
Slap.
I slapped Idrish’s cheek. I had to prevent the misfortune of Idrish waking up while trying to help. To do that, I had to check if he was still conscious.
“Hey, tiger!”
Slap.
“You’re passed out, right? You can’t get up, right?”
Slap, slap.
“When else would I hit you?”
Clap clap clap clap for Korea…….
Thump. Now is not the time.
Anyway, Idrish was completely unconscious.
I let out a determined sigh and lifted his uninjured arm.
The arm was heavy alone. I pulled it hard, and his body was dragged little by little.
“Ugh…….”
Idrish moaned and turned his head.
I froze like a piece of wood.
He didn’t even flinch when I was hitting his face earlier?
Once Idrish was quiet again, I put his arm back down.
“Does your arm hurt? Come to think of it, you were hurting when you got hit in the chest earlier.”
I approached him slowly and unbuttoned his shirt.
A redhaired woman undressing a fainted man in the woods behind a white curtain. This is a complete horror story.
But that feeling was only for a moment. I opened my mouth wide.
There was something wrong with Idrish’s body.
From the right chest to the side, it was stained black. It looked more like rot than a wound, or like being eroded by black vines.
Looking at it made me feel increasingly uncomfortable and ominous.
I gently poked the black part above his chest with my finger. A moan immediately escaped his lips.
“Hey, do you have an incurable disease or something? You looked so healthy and strong, but you were sick too?”
My mouth was bitter. The memory of being sick with an incurable disease in the past was still vivid. A sick body, a different life from others, and ultimately a death marked by pain.
“I know how you feel…… Wanting to live a normal life. Not wanting to die…… Tsk. Yeah. There’s no one in the world who thinks it’s better to die. Right? You haven’t even done anything wrong yet.”
I snorted once, redressing his clothes to cover the wound.
Then I turned around and went to Idric’s leg. My chest hurt, so I couldn’t drag him by the arm. Instead, I lifted Idric’s legs and tucked them under my armpits.
“Kkeng Cha!”
It was too heavy, enough to blow away the leisurely admiration from moments ago!
“Wow, should I just give up? It feels like I’m carrying a log!”
I did my best, taking one step at a time.
My whole body was soaked in sweat. Meanwhile, the cloth covering my body kept slipping down, and I had to pay close attention not to expose my chest.
How much effort did it take? Finally, I saw the mansion on the other side.
I tossed Idric down. Not because I wanted to, but because I was out of strength in my arms and legs. My already slender arms were sagging.
“Heoeuhhuk. Hayuk. Huk.”
I peeled the hair stuck to my face and neck.
“Someone should be able to find Idric here, right? Yeah. I’ve done enough. Now I have to save my life.”
I crouched down beside Idric one last time.
“……You were handsome.”
Perhaps because I had tended to his wound earlier, I felt more concerned about him.
It was strange. Sympathy for the villain of the novel who had imprisoned and threatened me.
“I wish you well since I dragged you here. Don’t bother others. I hope you recover from your pain. You terrifying Baekho.”
I thought about patting my sweatsoaked hair but withdrew my hand.
Then I dusted myself off and got up. I couldn’t delay any longer as dawn was about to break. I had a long way to go.
That’s when it happened. Something grabbed my wrist from below.
Caught by an unexpected force, my body wobbled, and I fell down. My outstretched arms braced the ground on either side of Idric’s face.
Idric’s face was close. Thick eyebrows like ink paintings, delicately laid eyelashes, and bloodless lips.
Idric exuded a dangerous beauty like a poisonous mushroom.
The next moment, his eyelids slowly rose. Yellow eyes, as if embracing the moon, revealed themselves.
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?”
