The money she had been defrauded of in the housing scam was fully returned. It was a moment of desolation. She had deliberately set a trap and had been waiting.
“Ha…..”
Even a sense of desolation arose at the fact that those with money and power could manipulate the powerless as they pleased.
“Marriage. Cha Yu Hyun….”
Cha Yu Hyun was Kang Hyun’s older brother. Yoon, hit by a bolt from the blue, sat numbly in the empty room, staring blankly ahead.
The most significant event, marriage, had been decided without any regard to her will.
Yoon rose weakly from her seat. Her energy had completely drained away from all the worry and running around she had been doing yesterday and today. However, she couldn’t afford to remain so deflated.
‘I need to find a house quickly.’
Ho Sik and Ok Soon must be shedding tears in their hotel room right now.
‘Sigh……’
Yoon felt guilty for making Ho Sik and Ok Soon suffer because of her stubbornness.
Over the weekend, Yoon managed to secure a lease on a multifamily house after much searching.
“I should just die.”
Ho Sik pounded his chest.
“Stop it. It hurts.”
Yoon quickly grabbed Ho Sik’s hand. She couldn’t bring herself to tell them that all of this was Seo Jung’s doing. She feared they might drop down in shock if they knew the truth.
“It seems like your father did consider our situation.”
Ok Soon let out a sigh. Yoon had told them that she had sought help from Ji Man and shared her situation.
“Did he just give it without saying anything?”
Ok Soon asked weakly.
“He…… asked me to get married.”
“What?”
Ho Sik, who had been blaming himself and hitting his chest, looked at Yoon in surprise.
“He said it’s time for me to get married.”
“What about Young Hoon?”
“Actually, I…… broke up with my senior a while ago.”
Yoon replied weakly.
“No……”
Ho Sik and Ok Soon were so surprised that they just opened their mouths wide.
“No wonder he didn’t show up even when we were moving… He found another woman, didn’t he?”
Ok Soon grabbed Yoon and trembled as she asked.
“No, it’s not like that. It just happened.”
Ok Soon swallowed her tears as she brushed a hand over Yoon’s face, which had lost half of its weight in a matter of days. Yoon wouldn’t have suggested breaking up.
‘Oh dear……’
Looking at Yoon, whose eyes had become sunken from days of dealing with the situation, Ok Soon’s heart ached even more.
“What’s the conspiracy? Seo Ji Man… Is it about that bastard?”
Ho Sik stuttered, even the mere mention of Seo Ji Man’s name irritated him. Seo Ji Man was the man who had not only turned his daughter into an unwed mother but had also almost ruined his granddaughter’s life.
“They said the marriage should be within the family……”
“But there’s another daughter in that family.”
“She seems to have a fiancé.”
Yoon quickly made a vague response.
“That man can’t be trusted. He’s the one who almost starved my daughter to death. It’d be better to return the money. With this money, he might be trying to sell you somewhere strange again.”
Ho Sik’s voice trembled.
“It’s not a strange place, they said it’s the son of Woo Sung Construction.”
Yoon quickly added, trying to reassure Ho Sik and Ok Soon.
“Oh, Woo Sung Construction or whatever, it’s all my fault.”
Ho Sik felt as though everything was his fault. If he hadn’t sent young Yoon to that man, she wouldn’t have had to suffer, and she wouldn’t have been forced to get married like this.
Ho Sik pounded his chest again, exhaling deeply. Ok Soon could only shed tears. Yoon, looking at the two of them, felt a lump in her chest.
Kang Hyun visited the residence of Chairman Cha in Hannamdong for the eighth memorial service of his mother, Lady Song Ki Sun.
But there was an unwelcome figure there. It was Hyun Seung, the son of Chae Min Suk.
“Why is he here?”
“Kang Hyun.”
Hyun Seung was blocked by Yoo Hyun as he approached Kang Hyun. Despite Yoo Hyun’s significantly smaller build, he was the only one who could restrain Kang Hyun.
“Isn’t it time for Hyun Seung to attend family matters?”
Chairman Cha, who was descending the stairs, opened his mouth.
“I don’t care whether he attends other family matters, but he can’t for mother’s memorial. That is, if you have a conscience, Father.”
Kang Hyun glared at Chairman Cha and said.
“That… that bastard.”
“Get lost before I throw you out.”
Kang Hyun spat coldly towards Hyun Seung.
“He seems to be slowly pushing in. Go tell your mom to wake up from her dream!”
At Kang Hyun’s fierce expression, Yoo Hyun sighed and approached Hyun Seung.
“Hyun Seung, it won’t work today. Please leave.”
“Yes, brother.”
At Yoo Hyun’s words, Hyun Seung politely bowed to Chairman Cha and Yoo Hyun and quietly left. Like this, Hyun Seung always behaved like a gentle sheep in front of Chairman Cha and Yoo Hyun.
Suddenly, Kang Hyun recalled when Hyun Seung had yelled at him before he went abroad.
“Watch me. I will take everything your brother has. I will turn your stupid brother into your mother…”
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?”
