All day long, inundated with articles and comments flooding the portal sites, Sejin felt like he was going insane. Journalists from various media outlets relentlessly contacted him to handle the situation, and a solution was nowhere in sight.
“Darn it!”
The cleanly organized past incidents had suddenly exploded in such a helpless manner; someone must have manipulated it. Who could have exposed such a discreet secret? Sejin felt a burning sensation in his gut.
Sejin glared at Jinwoo, who knew all his flaws.
“Was it you?”
“Me?”
“Did you leak it to the reporters?”
Sejin jabbed at Jinwoo, his manager.
“Why would I spread rumors about you? It wasn’t me.”
“Then who was it?”
Angrily, Sejin erupted even more at Jinwoo’s denial.
Jinwoo was equally frustrated. This was undoubtedly a company confidential matter. However, who leaked it, and how did the victims find out?
Jinwoo suspected someone harbored resentment toward Sejin. If there was a vengeful person, they were undoubtedly the victims.
How could they expose his shameful past so easily? But no matter how much he thought about it, besides them, there was no one else who would do such a thing.
“Darn it, who ruined everything!”
In the midst of the situation where new tips and comments were continuously popping up in real-time, Sejin felt like his head was about to explode.
“Ahh!”
With a scream-like outburst, Jinwoo desperately tried to calm him down.
“I’ll inform the director. She’ll handle it.”
Gasping for breath, Sejin’s gaze, red with rage, glared at Jinwoo. A madness resembling a wild dog could be felt, giving Jinwoo goosebumps.
“It’s always like this. The director will take care of everything.”
“Call her.”
Only then did Sejin seem to calm down a bit, sinking to the floor. Jinwoo, sweating nervously, dialed Hyerim’s number.
However, after several signal tones, the call got disconnected. Wondering what was happening, Jinwoo repeatedly tried to make the call, dripping with sweat.
Sejin, waiting for the call to connect, quickly lost his patience.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh, the call got cut off.”
“What?”
Frustrated that the person who could solve the problem couldn’t be reached, Sejin quickly urged Jinwoo as if his destination was predetermined.
“Try the office, try the office!”
In Sejin’s eyes, Jinwoo’s sluggish movements seemed irritating. Frustrated, he reached out impatiently.
“Give it here. I’ll do it myself.”
Sejin dialed the office number stored in his phone. After a few signal tones, a familiar voice echoed.
“IF Management.”
“I’m Sejin. Is Director Ju Hyerim there?”
“The director is currently on a business trip.”
“I can’t reach her. Is there an emergency contact?”
“No, she didn’t leave one.”
Sejin, frustrated by the lack of contact options, rudely ended the call.
“Isn’t she in?”
Sejin squinted at Jinwoo, who hesitated to ask.
“Haven’t you heard? She’s on a business trip.”
“A business trip? No, I haven’t heard anything.”
Sejin glared suspiciously at Jinwoo. The one Jinwoo replaced immediately was Ju Hyerim. After letting go of the efficient manager, she suddenly attached an inexperienced rookie to herself.
Since Jinwoo arrived, whenever something happened, Ju Hyerim appeared like the wind and handled the matter. Because of this, Sejin thought Jinwoo was merely a mouthpiece while Hyerim did all the work. However, it was absurd not to know Hyerim’s actions.
On one hand, thinking about it, it seemed possible for her to be ignorant while wandering around like that. If it was Hyerim, she was more than capable of doing so.
She was a woman who only acquired the information she needed, revealing nothing to the other party. Thus, she would likely have known what was happening in Korea.
After issuing an ultimatum that they couldn’t eavesdrop anymore and telling them to find someone else to spy on, she now openly avoided contact and was turning people’s lives upside down.
“Where the heck did she go?”
“I, I’ll keep trying to contact her.”
As if he couldn’t bear to hear Jinwoo’s words anymore, Sejin went into the bedroom.
Seeing Ihyun holding Yura’s bag, Yura pursed her lips.
Ihyun truly lusted after himself with determination to fill the entire three hours.
He finally withdrew under the ultimatum that he felt so weak and hungry that he might die. Even while settling for a simple lunch with the sandwich provided by his secretary, Ihyun’s lascivious touch didn’t seem to leave.
Whether it was an innate talent to drive people to extremes or something acquired during growth. Yura surrendered to Ihyun’s beastly stamina, feeling the sensations running through her entire body.
While organizing her appearance, Ihyun, holding the bag, looked strange. When he stood up, he followed her like he was going to follow her to the parking lot.
It was unpleasant to see a vice president or someone like him holding a woman’s bag and following her. Yura took the bag from Ihyun’s hand.
“I’ll go.”
“Go to your family.”
At the back, following naturally, Yura looked at Ihyun.
“The situation has completely changed; there’s no need to do that, right?”
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?”
