Then, Do Ha seemed to gather his thoughts and spoke again.
“Anyway, it’s a relief if it’s a relief that he’s not your husband.”
“What difference does it make if he’s not my husband? What does that have to do with you?”
“Hyun Seo, I can love your child more than Lucas does.”
“……”
Hyun Seo was at a loss for words. No matter how much she pretended it didn’t affect her, her heart ached every time Do Ha mentioned Do Hyun, and at his words about being able to love him, she felt like she was about to cry.
“I want to be a family with you again. With your child too.”
Do Ha was sincere. He thought he could raise Hyun Seo’s child as his own.
Hyun Seo turned her head towards the car window as her eyes kept welling up.
“I can’t do that.”
It was hard to hide her emotions in front of Do Ha when she thought about her child.
Although she could hold onto the love that ultimately didn’t end up together, the fact that was truly regretful was that Do Hyun could never be with his father.
“I have to go in because the child is waiting.”
Hyun Seo quickly opened the car door and got out before tears could fall.
Do Ha didn’t want to let her go like this, but with nothing else to say, he couldn’t take his eyes off her retreating figure.
“Hey, Hye Mi. Take a look at this.”
Young Suk didn’t head home after leaving Song Hwa Palace, but went straight to Ju Hyuk’s house. She was bored, and Chairman Chae had an evening schedule and would be late, so she thought it would be alright to hang out a little more.
She planned to eat dinner at her youngest son’s house. Fortunately, Hye Mi, who had finished her business and returned, was at home.
She spread out the cosmetics she had brought in her bag on the table like medals.
“What is this?”
“These are homemade natural cosmetics.”
“From Song Hwa Palace. Where did you get these?”
Looking at the Song Hwa Palace logo on the cosmetic containers, Hye Mi asked, and Young Suk replied with a naturalness.
“I got them from a friend I met today.”
“Really? Who are they?”
“Yes. They’re a member of the Plum Blossom club.”
“Really? There’s a plum blossom drawing here.”
“I get to try plum blossom products like this.”
She thought it wouldn’t be obvious that she had sneakily taken these, even though they were not hers.
One missing from each person’s belongings, they would probably just make more.
“It looks good.”
Looking at the product in the clear bottle, Hye Mi commented, and Young Suk looked at Hye Mi, who was looking enviously, with pride. Of course, she had stopped by Hye Mi’s house just for this.
“I’ll try it and give you a review.”
It was the day after Young Suk had applied the stolen cosmetics.
“Ah, what’s wrong with my face!”
To her dismay, her face had completely broken out.
“Who is this!”
Upon waking up, her face was itchy and hot, and when she looked in the mirror, it seemed like a strange woman was sitting there. It was red and swollen, looking absolutely terrible.
She was scared. She had to fix this immediately, but she didn’t know what to do.
“Seo San, please prepare some ice compresses for me.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
She was dumbfounded. How could such an expensive cosmetic have such side effects?
Even with the compress, the condition did not improve. By the afternoon, Young Suk began to get anxious.
Chairman Chae was going to leave work early today and have dinner at home, but how was she supposed to explain her current appearance?
He was always warning her not to cause trouble and giving her stern looks.
“What should I do with this?”
At this point, she was quite resentful of Song Hwa Palace. She had high expectations because it was what the members who paid a lot of money were using, but it had turned her face into this mess.
“No, how can they make products like this when they sell them at high prices?”
Frustrated, Young Suk decided to ask Song Hwa Palace to find out the cause, believing it would be a step towards a solution.
As soon as she confidently made the call, an employee picked up.
Hello, this is Song Hwa Palace.
“What on earth are you doing with your cosmetics management!”
Young Suk started off by shouting.
Excuse me? What seems to be the problem?
“No, I used your product and my face has completely broken out!”
Ah, is that so? We’re really sorry. If you don’t mind, may I ask which product you used?
“I’m a Plum Blossom member and I used the Plum Blossom product. What is this? It’s not even cheap.”
Pretending to be a Plum Blossom member, Young Suk confidently complained.
You mean you used the Plum Blossom product?
“Yes, I’m a Plum Blossom member……”
By any chance, do you have any allergies to certain ingredients?
“I don’t know if I have anything like that.”
Could there be such an allergy?
You don’t know?
“Are you blaming my skin now? Weren’t all natural ingredients supposed to be mild? You advertise them as lowirritation natural products.”
Yes, but even typically mild ingredients can cause allergies in some people, so we thoroughly conduct allergy tests for our Plum Blossom Center members.
“……”
May I ask if you’ve gone through an allergy test?
“Ah, now that I think about it, yes, the test! I remember now. I’m sure it was fine then…….”
Caught off guard, Young Suk mumbled in a small voice.
Member, we’re sorry to trouble you, but could you possibly read the number written on the label of the product? We will identify and assist you.
“Just a moment.”
Young Suk, not knowing which of the several products caused the problem, first read out all of them.
Thank you for the confirmation. The number you just read out was the unique serial number that each of the products used by our Plum Blossom members have.
“……Yes? What, what does that mean?”

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?”
