She had to be bold and savvy so as not to be scammed again.
And the project had to succeed to grow Narae Creative. Bomi clenched her fists, biting her lip.
She could do it. Because she’s a mom. A feeling of strength that seemed to be able to do anything for the sake of Summer surged.
“Hoo… This place hasn’t changed.”
Bomi, disguising her tension for the first visit in a long time, pressed the doorbell.
The garden, decorated according to CEO Hwang Minjoon’s taste when he lived in the UK when he was young, was a magnificent sight when the summer roses were in full bloom.
“Wait, who is this! Long time no see. How have you been during this time?”
Gangwon, who recognized Bomi, welcomed her warmly.
“Have you been well? Can I see the CEO?”
“He’s waiting in the study. Today is a busy day with many guests.”
Bomi walked towards the study, glancing at herself reflected in the mirror and sighed.
The Bomi reflected in the mirror looked refreshing, showing that the past six years of her life hadn’t been easy.
‘If it’s a mistake, you can start anew. If you give up the baby, I’ll find a good place for you.’
Upon hearing the news of Nakwon’s death, Bomi came to Seoul to find him. She wandered around like a crazy woman without eating or drinking, and when she collapsed, she was taken to the hospital.
And with the status of a guardian, Minjun, who came, looked at Bomi with a pitiful look.
He must have been disappointed.
Due to the risk of miscarriage, she was forcibly taken to an obstetrics and gynecology department and hospitalized.
To prevent the baby from being taken away, Bomi ran away and hid. Or maybe Minjun let her go. After that, her contact with Minjun became strained.
She wanted to show that she was doing well…
Bomi took a deep breath and raised her hand to the doorknob. Don’t be afraid, Han Bomi.
“Hello? CEO.”
Bomi opened the door with a bright smile. The relationship might be awkward now, but it was true that Bomi had received a favor.
Hwang Minjoon, the CEO, looked up from the documents. His manly figure with squared shoulders remained unchanged over the years, unaffected by approaching the age of sixty. Despite nearing the milestone of sixty, he still appeared to be in his forties.
“A few months ago, your aunt contacted me.”
“My aunt… What happened?”
“She mentioned something about buying both land and a house…”
“I’m sorry. It was my mistake.”
It seemed that Bomi’s aunt had invested in the land left by her grandfather, deceived by the sweet words of Junghoon senior.
“It’s done. There’s nothing you can do anyway.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Tsk. I didn’t call you to make you cower.”
Jun’s tone was cold, and Bomi somehow shrank. It was always like this with Minjun. As a recipient of help, it was uncomfortable for Bomi, and Minjun always found such Bomi displeasing. Nevertheless, it was an awkward and unmatched relationship that couldn’t be severed.
“I heard you’re working with Dowon Distribution.”
“As for the relationship with the CEO…”
Bomi cautiously raised her head. Perhaps because of the backlight, Minjun’s expression was not visible.
“I’ll make sure it doesn’t get revealed.”
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?”
