Shocked, Tae In was speechless for a while.
She had just lost her memory due to an accident, but she had been declared dead.
Was this even possible?
Then the silence in the house was interrupted by the sound of a doorbell.
“First get treated, then we’ll talk.”
Nok Hyun, looking at Tae In who was staring blankly into space, walked towards the entrance.
Shortly after, Eun Seok approached Tae In and asked her.
“Miss Seo Tae In, how are you feeling today? Has your memory returned?”
Tae In, sitting distantly on a couch, glanced at Nok Hyun who was staring at her and then fixed her gaze on Eun Seok.
Is he really a doctor? What is his relationship with Kang Nok Hyun?
Did he know me from before?
While quietly observing Eun Seok, Tae In sighed.
It all felt meaningless after learning such shocking facts.
“My body is fine and I still don’t remember anything.”
“Don’t worry too much. Apart from your ankle, there are no significant injuries, it should be a temporary phenomenon.”
“Yes.”
“…Do you want me to rewrap the bandage?”
Tae In looked down at the bandage Nok Hyun had wrapped.
It seems his hands are not very dexterous. I thought he was perfect, but he has cute sides.
Tae In gave a little smile and shook her head.
“No, it’s okay.”
“It seems to be coming undone.”
That was when Eun Seok tried to reach for Tae In’s ankle.
“Ji Eun Seok.”
Nok Hyun, who had been sitting silently, called out to Eun Seok. His deep voice seemed like a warning.
When Eun Seok turned around, Nok Hyun, who was sitting upright, pointed at Eun Seok and made a small movement.
Does he mean don’t get too close?
Is he telling me to treat her, or not to?
Was he always so bossy?
Eun Seok tilted his head and then turned his gaze towards Tae In.
Eun Seok unconsciously dusted off Tae In’s shoulder and then regretted it. The back of his head felt hot.
“If you’re done, let’s talk for a moment.”
Nok Hyun took Eun Seok and moved to the study.
As soon as the door closed, Eun Seok stood close to Nok Hyun, as if he was about to grab him by the collar.
He wanted to question him immediately, but in case they could be heard outside, Eun Seok tried to calm his excitement and spoke in as quiet a voice as possible.
“Hey, are you in your right mind? What’s the reason for keeping your wife who needs to be taken to the hospital right away in this villa?”
Nok Hyun created a distance between Eun Seok and himself, and ran his hand through his hair.
“She was almost murdered. Someone tried to disguise it as an accident and get rid of her. If I let her out now, she might really die next time.”
Nok Hyun, who spoke indifferently, frowned.
The thought of Tae In going through another horrible accident made his chest tighten strangely.
“We can ask the police for help.”
“The accident wasn’t her first. The suspects were different each time.”
“The suspects were all different?”
“Yes. We need to catch the mastermind.”
The police had failed to find substantial evidence each time. There must have been someone who gave the orders. However, none of the culprits spoke up.
Nok Hyun slowly recalled his memories.
The day Tae In had an accident.
It was also the day when Tae In had asked Nok Hyun for a divorce.
Tae In left their marital home, taking with her only a handful of possessions.
She left Nok Hyun with a somewhat absurd statement about being fed up with things like revenge, and seeing no reason to pursue it with him. She wanted to find her own life.
The Tae In that Nok Hyun knew was not someone who would easily give up her goals. There must have been a reason.
Maybe she was being threatened by someone.
After Tae In woke up, Nok Hyun meticulously investigated her surroundings.
Two months before Tae In’s accident, Tae In’s grandfather had passed away.
The contents of the will were not disclosed, but it was a known fact amongst those who should know that the grandfather was working behind the scenes with his legal team to pass on Taegang to Tae In.
Then, all of a sudden, Tae In had an accident.
The one who benefitted most from this was her halfsister, Se Ji.
“So… Let’s say that’s right. Did you know about that?”
“What?”
“I’m a urologist. I can earnestly look into your issues. But the issue of Ms. Seo Tae In…”
“You don’t need to look into anything for me. There are no issues.”
“Don’t you think you’re being naive? This is unlike you. I hope you find a wise course of action, seriously.”
Even after Eun Seok left for home, Nok Hyun stayed in the study for quite some time.
A wise course of action.
They had married for mutual benefits, and he had only intended to use Tae In.
He had no intention of giving up his plan just because Tae In had lost her memory.
Nok Hyun, who had been sitting and staring at the firmly closed door, suddenly got up with a sense of unease.
Tae In, who had been following Nok Hyun around in small steps, was quiet.
Wondering if she had gotten into some accident, Nok Hyun slowly moved his steps.
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?”
