Ji Na’s voice prompted Jin Woo to look down at her with a deep gaze.
“Thank you, Sister.”
Feeling somewhat shy at the atmosphere, Ji Na rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.
“Oh, the campfire.”
Jin Woo quickly got up.
“Just wait a bit.”
“I’ll come with you.”
This time, Ji Na also stood up.
“Okay.”
Jin Woo smiled and extended his hand to her. His warm and firm hand was something she didn’t want to let go of. Ji Na firmly held Jin Woo’s hand.
Below the extended deck, a round fire pit was set up. Beside it were stacks of firewood Jin Woo had prepared.
“Sit here.”
Jin Woo placed two foldable camping chairs and started stacking the firewood in the pit.
“It really feels like we’re in the forest here.”
The thought of being alone with him in the forest as evening fell gave her a strange feeling.
“Like treasure hunters who got lost in the forest?”
“Hahaha.”
Ji Na’s whimsical remark elicited a bright laugh from Jin Woo.
“I should have learned some survival skills.”
“Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”
Ji Na smiled at Jin Woo’s reassuring words. Soon, the fire caught among the solidly stacked wood. Night in the forest arrived quickly.
The flames in the woodpile, like the sunset, were beautiful, as if the fire that had been in the sky had transferred to the wood in front of Ji Na and Jin Woo.
“This is why people go camping.”
The crackling sound of the fire was sweet to the ear. Ji Na, gazing at the flames, made a comment, and Jin Woo nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go camping together often in the future.”
Jin Woo’s face, illuminated by the firelight, had a look of intense warmth in his eyes.
“Okay.”
It felt like a magical time had begun, and the thought of him leaving soon didn’t seem to matter anymore. Just his presence by her side was enough to make her happy.
“Can you see the stars?”
At Jin Woo’s question, Ji Na looked up at the sky.
“Wow…”
The night sky, now completely dark, was sprinkled with countless twinkling stars like scattered gem dust.
“Are those real stars?”
Ji Na’s excited voice made Jin Woo chuckle softly.
“Of course. Just a moment.”
Jin Woo stood up and walked towards the deck. The mysterious stars, more and more mesmerizing as she gazed at them, seemed to be pouring down on Ji Na.
“They’re so beautiful.”
It was a sight rare to see in Seoul.
“Can you come here for a moment?”
Ji Na walked over to where Jin Woo was standing next to a long cylindrical object.
“What’s that?”
“It’s a telescope.”
Jin Woo, squinting with one eye and adjusting the angle, looked somewhat unfamiliar.
“Can you see the stars?”
“Yes. They look like they’re within reach.”
“Amazing.”
After removing his face from the lens, Jin Woo gestured for Ji Na to come closer. She did the same as Jin Woo, bringing her face close to the lens.
“Lucky the weather is clear tonight.”
Ji Na heard Jin Woo’s relieved voice.
“Wow!”
An exclamation burst from Ji Na as she discovered the stars.
The endless expanse of the night sky unfolded like a black canvas. The vast universe, with its unfathomable depth, was sprinkled with sparkling stars that seemed close enough to touch.
“They’re truly beautiful.”
From a distance, the stars looked like tiny flecks of light, but up close, each one had its own subtle hues.
“Which star did you come from?”
Ji Na playfully asked Jin Woo while stargazing, to which he chuckled.
“Guess.”
“I think I saw that one. It’s beautiful, just like you.”
Jin Woo gently embraced Ji Na at her words.
“Caught me. I came to meet Sister.”
His breath warmly settled on Ji Na’s shoulder and head.
“I’ll show you the Milky Way.”
The telescope was slightly turned. As Ji Na leaned into the lens with the adjusted angle, she exclaimed again.
“Is that the Milky Way? It’s so pretty.”
Countless tiny stars densely packed together looked like they were about to spill out. They were dazzling enough to blind her.
“Do you want it?”
Ji Na playfully responded to Jin Woo’s question.
“Yeah, can you pluck a star for me?”
“Give me your hand.”
A cold, metallic object was placed on Ji Na’s outstretched hand, causing a jolt of surprise through her body. Lifting her face from the telescope lens, Ji Na looked at her hand and gasped in shock.
Resting in her palm, shining resplendently, was a ring.
It twinkled magnificently in the darkness, like a star freshly plucked from the sky.
At the sight of the ring, Ji Na was rendered speechless, her mind as blank as the night sky.
In that darkness, only Jin Woo’s eyes shone brilliantly, like a dazzling star. Each blink revealed his beautiful eyes, focused solely on Ji Na through his long eyelashes.
“Will you marry me?”
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?”
