Yoon Seon-woo! Hey, Yoon Seon-woo! Seung-chul’s voice, which was gradually fading away, quieted down with the sound of the closing car door.
Kwon Seung-chul in the car cursed violently.
Although he shouted so angrily for a long time, no one inside the car responded at all.
After shouting for so long, his throat felt sharp. At the moment when he was about to ask for water, the bell rang from his pocket. Looking down at the sturdy forearm that firmly grasped his arm, Seung-chul spoke.
“Release this hand a bit; let me answer the phone. It’s so tight that I can’t move.”
The man who had held Seung-chul’s left hand released his fist as if regretful and stared at Kwon Seung-chul with a grim face. It was a kind of warning not to play tricks. Seung-chul mumbled curses under his breath, then, after rotating his stiff shoulders a few times, took out his mobile phone to check the caller.
It was Sun-seok.
Well, the guy who should have already entered the country wouldn’t be able to contact him, so it must have been frustrating. Yes! If it’s Sun-seok hyung, he might help me. I shouldn’t rot away in the construction site when my future looks bright.
“Park the car.”
“Don’t play tricks.”
“I’ll give you 500 million won in cash, so park the car nicely when I ask you!”
For now, park it. The man sitting in the passenger seat instructed Seung-chul to park the car. Seung-chul, shrugging his shoulders, pressed the call button after freeing his other arm.
“Hey, hyung—”
[Hey, you bastard!]Sun-seok’s voice resounded, and Seung-chul frowned. Has this hyung lost his temper? Why does he always shout and make a fuss every time he calls? Seriously, I’m the most easygoing person here.
An unpleasant feeling surged up for a moment, and since it was clear to everyone around that the person who should be lying flat right now was him, Seung-chul forced down his anger, lifting the corners of his mouth.
“Hey, come on. Don’t shout so much. I had some circumstances, didn’t I?”
[Circumstances? What circumstances? Do I look like I’m not yelling right now? It’s because of you. Everything’s ruined! Now what are you going to do? What?]“What are you talking about?”
[I told you not to make a fuss near Yoon Seon-woo, didn’t I!]That bastard Yoon Seon-woo somehow found out and reported all the illegal matters related to our resort. Do you know what that means? I lost everything I’ve worked on for 20 years here. I was banished to Korea, naked. Because of you!
Listening to Sun-seok’s words, my head went blank, and I couldn’t hear anything.
How does Sun-seok hyung know that I’m running a resort in the Philippines? Did he know and committed the crime of covering up that incident?
When Ju-sung was young, he used to run errands under me, and now he’s become a traitor by finding family weaknesses. He’s probably rich. I fell for the trap you set.
“Ha… Hahaha…”
[This crazy bastard ruined someone else’s life and laughs? After hearing your words, I was worried and investigated, and I heard a rumor that this guy is a psychopath in the hospital. Don’t mess with him, that’s what they say.]“…”
[Ha… It’s over. That’s my mistake too. Wait, when I enter Korea, I’ll be the first one to find you.]“Hyung. Listen to me for a moment, hyung!”
The fist of Seung-chul, who screamed like a whale on the already disconnected phone, was again held tightly. Lips with a sharp outline murmured towards Seung-chul.
“It seems like we didn’t talk well, right?”
Depart, we have to arrive before sunset. The man glared at Seung-chul, who stuck out his tongue.
“Ah, no. Again… Again!”
Continuously gripping the mobile phone that only emitted the continuous ringtone, Kwon Seung-chul’s voice, unable to let go of lingering feelings, was close to a wail.
Turning around, Sun-woo sighed with exhaustion. He seemed incredibly weary.
He had half-hoped to show this sight of him climbing the road to hell to Eun-jae. It was based on the thought that, if she saw Kwon Seung-chul’s face, crying and begging for the last time, perhaps the pent-up feelings of the past few years would be somewhat relieved.
He was wrong. Instead, it felt like something more frustrating settled in. It seemed like coming alone was the right decision after all.
How would Eun-jae see this? If so, you would have cried again. It would have hurt again.
A new lawyer stopped in front of Sun-woo as he slowly sighed. He silently took out a handkerchief and wiped away the white substance splattered on Sun-woo’s hands and clothes.
The new lawyer arrived at the scene before Sun-woo, but watching the scene unfold, he couldn’t say anything.
There was no room for objection, and Seon-woo’s calm face throughout the proceedings sent shivers down Sun-woo’s spine. Quietly and very calmly, the events unfolded, catching Seung-chul’s vulnerable point. There was no room to escape, not even a moment.
How was he handling all this alone? Although it seemed strange at first, considering his usual behavior, it was easily understandable. Yoon Seon-woo, whom I had watched since childhood, excelled in every aspect and was diligent.
A genius cannot defeat the one who strives, and the one who strives cannot defeat the one who enjoys. Having all three attributes, who could stop him?
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“You’ve worked harder, Attorney Shin.”
“At first, what Professor said, what you do. I couldn’t understand any of it.”
“Now, do you have an answer to that?”
Yes. Attorney Shin replied as he looked silently towards the place where Seung-chul’s car had disappeared. Seon-woo’s gaze also followed there.
“I hope every day of my life is like hell without missing a single day.”
“This seems exactly like hell. Since there won’t be any distinction between night and day.”
“I’ll go in first, whenever the time. Please check.”
Seon-woo, checking the time like someone who remembered a forgotten person, hastily got into the car.
“I have to pick up my wife.”
The moment when a man who wouldn’t even seem to bleed if stabbed with a knife became human was precisely that moment. When talking about his wife. When thinking about his wife. When going to see his wife. When facing his wife.
At times like this, when it seemed impossible to read him, his innermost feelings were clearly visible. Feeling the rising corners of his mouth, which he didn’t even know were there, Attorney Shin nodded with respect.
“Yes, please take care.”
The deep and low sigh of Sun-woo, who got into the car, spread out.
He leaned heavily against the exhausted body on the seat. Above his closed eyes, the first thing that came to mind was Eun-jae’s face, brightly smiling. When that face came to mind, the tip of his nose tingled.
Please let it suit your heart.
“Now it’s all over.”
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?”
