Lugard saluted at the command of another division’s captain, who had been at the forefront, and then exited the hospital barracks.
The angelically beautiful nurse also bowed to Lugard, and he could feel the envious gazes of other soldiers directed at him just for that.
Ah, this is what it feels like to fall in love at first sight!
He was filled with emotion, thinking that she was the destiny he had been waiting for.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Even if the situation was good, field hospitals in the battlefield were always short of hands.
Skaha had come to the well with Eriu to wash the blankets and towels used in the ward. It was a bit of a troublesome task, but laundry duty was popular because they could avoid the watchful eyes of Nurse Castelin.
Castelin’s temper was the hardest thing to endure in the field hospital, because as busy as she was, she was always on edge.
In addition, the chance to exchange glances with ablebodied soldiers made outdoor chores popular.
Since the quality of the soldiers reflected the honor of the family, even ordinary soldiers were fairly selected talents.
Eriu, who had become Skaha’s buddy, squatted by the well, complaining, with her reddened hands stuck in her armpits.
“I can see why there are few volunteers. Working in winter is the worst.”
The early winter of Eben Bahar was not very cold, but washing laundry with cold water drawn from the well was another matter. Skaha’s hands, rubbing the blankets in the large basin, were also swollen as if about to burst.
The silver lining was that the soldiers drew well water for the nurses on laundry day.
“Shall we step on it to wash?”
“What’s worse, cold feet? Your hands are going to burst. Let’s switch now.”
“I can endure it.”
“What if you get frostbite? Will I have to do your share too?”
Eriu rolled her eyes, and Skaha awkwardly wrapped her swollen hands in her uniform.
Though she scolded, Eriu took good care of Skaha. A bit like a female Nemed…?
Most of the soldiers were also kind and polite, so life in the field hospital was much more bearable than Nemed had feared.
The work was a bit hard, but it was similar to what they did in the regular hospital, so it was fine.
One thing she worried about was that among the three families assigned to the ward where Skaha mainly worked, there was the Blahnath family.
But, compared to the other two families, they had noticeably fewer wounded… and she hadn’t even seen the face of the man she was most worried about in two weeks.
Duke Blahnath, or rather the Admiral, only appeared in stories of successful strategies and achievements; Skaha, as a nurse, had no opportunity to meet him in person.
“Over… there… Ms… Eriu.”
Lugard, a soldier from the Blahnath division, who had escorted Skaha on the first day, hovered around Skaha and Eriu almost every day.
Several times hearing the familiar voice of Rugard, Eriu’s head turned first before Skaha’s. It seems that Eriu’s lips are twitching, ready to tease again.
According to Eriu, the soldier who calls me ‘Sue Eriu’ every day seems unable to call Skaha’s name, and he must like you, he said.
Is that really so…?
When Skaha looks at it, that soldier always prepared gifts for two and gave them to Eriu, so naturally, if there’s interest, it should be towards Eriu, but Eriu firmly denies it. He teases him twice, calling him a fool.
Even the latex gloves he brought today are a precious item that even a nursing assistant receives once every two days, so Eriu quickly reached out and received the gloves.
“My goodness! You even brought latex gloves today.”
“I, I saw it on my way, and it seemed like the water was cold.”
“Oh my, you even brought two pairs. Look at the taste.”
Eriu wiped the moisture from the front flap of her uniform, chattering. Rugard shyly smiled, apparently satisfied with Eriu’s exaggerated reaction.
Skaha, who was just scratching the back of his head without even looking at them, greeted Eriu again.
“Then, I leave it to you.”
Hmm, that greeting ‘I leave it to you’ that he says every time, could it be a request to me for Skaha?
“Thanks to you, even the latex gloves will be tried out when doing laundry. The supply from the Blahnath Division must be really good, right? That place has the best quality among the soldiers. The competition is fierce. Thanks to our Skaha, my sister also enjoys the luxury!”
As soon as Rugard left, Skaha pursed her lips, looking at Eriu who quickly wore the latex gloves.
“It looks like it’s you, Eriu, no matter how I look at it…”
If I have to speak my honest impression of that young soldier, even if it’s interest towards Skaha…
‘A soldier can be so idle on the battlefield.’
This was all from Skaha, who wasn’t even curious about who he was interested in.
Woof!
Rather, if there is interest, it is in this direction.
“Woofwoof!”
A large dog with black fur came running excitedly to Skaha’s call, wagging its tail.
“People might think you’re the owner, you know.”
At Eriu’s words, Skaha, who smiled with a grin, hugged a dog as big as herself and patted it.
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?”
