“Ah, seriously. Who took that picture again!”
Upon reading the article, Woo-hyun expressed annoyance and grabbed his head. Somehow, the crazy horse that had been quiet lately was causing trouble again.
“The interview is ridiculous too. What? Studying? They’re trying to package it like she had an accident and fled.”
Woo-hyun grumbled, pressing his throbbing temple. The article about Se-gyeong that had been making a fuss for a while seemed to be settling down, but now the fire was reigniting due to Oh Yeorri.
Moreover, they were still not married, and they were talking about a breakup. Who on earth would write such an article!
“Ah…, damn it, Reporter Choi O-soo.”
Woo-hyun gritted his teeth as he confirmed the name of the reporter written at the end of the article. It wasn’t like this at that time.
“Have you contacted Se-gyeong? Wouldn’t she misunderstand after seeing the article?”
Woo-hyun cautiously asked, observing Tae-jo’s expression. He was only dealing with the documents waiting for approval, paying no attention to Oh Yeorri’s article.
“I did earlier. I told her that I’m meeting my sister-in-law today. She saw the article, but she doesn’t seem to care much.”
“Now that you’ve even registered your marriage, right? Oh, didn’t Se-gyeong also meet Oh Yeorri?”
“Yeah. When Seok-joo had a pre-meeting for the program. They met at the broadcasting station.”
“This is crazy. How can they meet again like that? Then Se-gyeong must know. What type of person Oh Yeorri is.”
“I heard from Seok-joo. But just in case, we should also…”
At that moment, Woo-hyun’s phone rang loudly. He checked the caller ID, slightly frowned, and answered the call.
“Yes, Reporter Jang. It’s been a while. Ah, Se-gyeong’s article? Ah, it’s not like that. How long has it been since the marriage rumor, and now they’re talking about a breakup. That’s just Oh Yeorri’s unilateral claim, and Se-gyeong is getting along well with CEO Jin. They even submitted their marriage registration a while ago. What? Oh, really?”
Woo-hyun, who was on the phone, looked at Tae-jo. When he asked why, Woo-hyun briefly removed the phone from his ear and said to Tae-jo.
“Se-gyeong seems to have posted something on SNS. Reporter Jang is asking if it’s okay to write an article about it along with your marriage registration.”
Tae-jo took out his phone, waiting for Woo-hyun’s approval. There were several pictures posted on Se-gyeong’s SNS. Pictures from the trip to Gangwon Province, a couple ring on their intertwined hands, and the back view of the two sent by Seok-joo from Yangyang filming location.
“It’s okay to write the article.”
As Tae-jo’s approval came through, Woo-hyun asked Reporter Jang to write the article well. Taking the phone after the call, he took Tae-jo’s phone, asking what kind of picture had been uploaded.
“Hmm? Did Se-gyeong upload this herself? Originally, Se-gyeong’s official SNS is managed by the company.”
“That’s true. It doesn’t seem like it was uploaded by the company. The pictures are all on Se-gyeong’s phone.”
Woo-hyun suggested checking with Director Song just in case. Director Song answered without hesitation, saying that he had already received a contact from Se-gyeong.
“Oh, that photo? Se-gyeong contacted me earlier. She said she saw the article too. She wants to explain herself, so she asked if she could upload a photo and a message on SNS.”
“Really, Se-gyeong uploaded it? I heard something from Reporter Jang again and was wondering.”
Woo-hyun displayed Se-gyeong’s SNS on the tablet and asked Director Song.
“Did other reporters call?”
“They did. Many emails came in, but now it seems like they’re just looking at SNS and writing articles. Quite a few people seem to have seen CEO Jin and Se-gyeong together in Gangwon Province. Witness accounts are coming up in the comments.”
Director Song reported and then looked at Tae-jo. Tae-jo slightly raised his eyes, as if asking why.
“Why? Is there something you want to say?”
“No, just… seeing the witness accounts, it seems like they enjoyed the trip.”
Director Song smiled. Every witness account that came up emphasized how close the two were.
“It was good. I wanted to stay longer, but Director Kang kept nagging, so I couldn’t.”
“Hey, when did I nag?”
Woo-hyun’s mouth twisted. Director Song suppressed a laugh, covering his lips inwardly.
“Anyway, Director Song, please take care for a while. This year’s schedule seems to end with the photoshoot.”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
Director Song nodded, clenching his fist.
Se-gyeong wrapped thin slices of bulgogi around cold noodles and put them in her mouth. After slurping a spoonful of broth, she confidently picked up the dumplings that came as a side dish.
“Wait, does that mean Unnie noticed since then? When I took Se-gyeong to the gallery?”
Dr. Sim, holding chopsticks, looked at Yeryeong with a face that betrayed a sense of betrayal.
Unlike Se-gyeong’s dad, who found out about Tae-jo after the marriage rumor article, Yeryeong claimed to have known about their relationship before that.
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?”
