That’s what people drink for, to forget everything and just fall. Asleep. To be happy.
A face that was neither laughing nor crying.
It was too beautiful, but it might say something different tomorrow.
“Eun Jo I have a question.”
“Hmm, what is it? But this smell is really, really wonderful.”
She pushed her empty glass towards Jae Ha, as if to fill it up again.
Good at knowing fine wine, Eun Jo, you’re indeed a pretty drunkard.
Though you can’t drink much.
It’s dangerously tempting.
Tsk
Jae Ha, whose gaze was fixated on the round lips sucking up the red liquid, whispered softly.
“Why didn’t you date men? At your level, there could have been plenty…”
“I did date men! I even had a child, remember!”
Hmm Jae Ha chuckled silently.
Even when tipsy, she sure did blurt out cute lies.
“Did you have a child because you were in love?”
“Well rolling around and sticking like glue with someone I don’t love, and what else… Anyway, don’t talk about the child’s father! I don’t like it! I’m in a good mood now!”
“This wine is really excellent. It’s a Domaine de la RomanéeConti 2016 vintage wine.”
“What? Domaine de, de what? So how much does it cost? Yes!! How much is it?!”
“Why do you want to know?”
“I want to know! I should know the price before drinking it.”
“So what do you think I’m going to ask you to add to the 600 million? You’ve almost finished it.”
“Hmm.”
“If you knew the price, you wouldn’t be able to drink more. We should finish this, it’s certainly not worth throwing away.”
“I’m annoyed.”
“Listen I, I want to apologize to Da On when I get the chance. I was a bit harsh last time.”
“You do remember well… you’re really amazing.”
“What kind of person was Da On’s father?”
At Jae Ha’s sudden question, Eun Jo straightened her previously tilted neck.
She blinked her big eyes as if to collect her thoughts, and shook her head as if to shake off something.
She looked like she had drunk a bottle of soju.
“He was nice, and… a, a handsome person. But a bit weakhearted…”
“Handsome? He was handsome? Who?”
Jae Ha suddenly straightened up, and Eun Jo shrank her neck because of him.
“…He was indeed handsome.”
“This is 8 million won.”
“Huh?”
“Domaine de la RomanéeConti. You wanted to know the price before drinking. Here, take it.”
“……”
Whether she was drunk, or didn’t understand, even after hearing the price, she smiled, squinting her eyes, offering her empty glass again.
“Hah! I must be crazy.”
Eun Jo’s thin, beautiful fingers gently brushed over the scar on her broken back of the hand.
“Were you… very angry?”
“Yes.”
“…Why?”
“Don’t know.”
“Stupid.”
“……”
“How will you apologize?”
“What?”
“You said you will apologize to our Da On…”
“Ah. Yes, I should. To Yoon Da On apologize.”
“Thank you……”
There was no way to know if she was alright or not.
.
.
“When I asked you to sit next to me earlier, you were so against it.”
“……”
Eun Jo was firmly hugging Jae Ha’s neck, who was climbing the stairs to the second floor carrying her.
Despite knowing that her actions were an unconscious attempt not to fall.
Jae Ha couldn’t help the corners of his mouth turning up in a silly smile,
Without a hint of hesitation, he laid her down on the princesslike bed and right next to her, he laid himself down.
“I’m going to put you to sleep, like old times.”
When her dull eyes blinked at me, she asked again.
Unbelievably naively and shyly.
“Do you really think he was handsome? That son of a person?”
And he heard the answer.
“……Who?”
But why are you here the moment Eun Jo frowned slightly,
Jae Ha quickly placed his large hand over her eyes.
“Shush let’s sleep now, Eun Jo.”
Blink blink I could feel her eyelashes tickling my palm, but soon her breathing calmed down.
Sleep well.
I softly pressed my lips to her lips that I had been looking at and teasing all along.
The scent was truly… splendid.
“……”
Secretary Kang continued to speak, scrutinizing Kwon Jae Ha who was halflistening to the report.
“And in Japan, when one mentions ‘Takeda’, they would think of TCHC’s top brand, Ariumin, to the extent that it enjoys high customer trust. The company’s president also has a strong sense of how much this brand has played an important role in Takeda’s history and has declared this.”
“……Indeed.”
He was lost in thought. He sat deeply in his chair, occasionally brushing his lower lip lightly with the tip of his index finger.
“Then, my birthday party will be held at your villa.”
Jae Ha’s gaze, which had been on the desk, suddenly lifted.
Startled, Secretary Kang pulled his head back.
“Why the sudden talk about a birthday party? What are you doing right now?”
“You were lost in thought.”
“……”
Kwon Jae Ha, who didn’t deny it, raised his eyebrows slightly.
“If it’s about that issue, don’t worry.”
“What are you talking about? I’m worried about you, you. You’ve been acting up unnecessarily these days.”
“That’s not true. Why would I act up?”
“Enough. Don’t attend the meeting later.”
“Again?”
“I have a place I need to go.”
“Oh, is it important?”
“Of course.”
“Where are you going?”
Toys R Us…?

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?”
