“Kang.”
“Why.”
“I have no intention of ever leaving here.”
“So why?”
“……”
Look at him, just laughing again.
He was, after all, a stubborn old mule.
Resigned, she quickly changed the topic.
“Brother, then on your next birthday, I’ll change the car for you.”
“Hey, you crazy. Is money rotting? Why change the car?”
“It’s better than exchanging it with your life.”
Sam Young was taken aback by the unexpected straight punch.
However, Kang didn’t care and continued speaking.
“How many times have you been broken down on the road? If you keep it, you will only incur more maintenance costs.”
There wasn’t much to say to that, but she didn’t really need a car either.
As Kang said, the car was nearing the end of its life and she had been thinking about getting rid of it.
“I commute to work in the company car, and I use public transportation on my days off. I hardly have to go out anyway.”
“Really strange. Why don’t you take it when I offer?”
“Because I don’t need it. I’m really okay, Kang.”
“How about learning to be greedy from Director Hwang at this opportunity?”
“Hey. There’s nothing to learn, do you learn such things? And from a person like that fool?”
“……Haa.”
Her eyes narrowed as if looking at a confirmed old bachelor.
Sam Young, who was sweating cold, reluctantly replied.
“Hey, I got it! I got it! So when I get married in the future, you can do something nice for me then. Is that okay?”
“Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Hey! What do you see this brother as! Just! I don’t make one because I’m busy. If I try hard, it’ll be the end, really?”
“If you can’t even speak.”
At Kang’s affectionate rebuke, he, who had been giggling, began to prepare earnestly.
“Do you know our landlord’s wife runs a butcher shop? The meat is really the best. Look at this. Isn’t the color killer?”
“The meat we eat here always tastes good.”
“See. There’s no place like our house, right?”
Excited Sam Young turned on the cherry light bulb hanging on the clothesline.
As night fell, the brilliant city night view was beautifully spread out below the rooftop.
Although she didn’t want to admit it, due to the high ground, the view was nothing short of spectacular.
“San Ah. Come quickly too!”
As he put the meat on the heated grill, Sam Young shouted.
San, who had been standing in a corner of the rooftop where the night view was best seen, didn’t show much reaction even after hearing his voice.
It seemed as if he hadn’t heard because he was lost in thought.
“San seems strange today.”
“Why?”
“Just. He seems to be thinking a lot.”
At Sam Young’s words, Kang also turned her head to look at San.
Staring at the city’s night view with a blank face, he seemed to be completely absorbed in thought.
“San Ah.”
She called out to him, but still, there was no reaction.
“Han San!”
Raising his voice a bit, San finally slowly turned his head.
“Come quickly. The meat’s going to get cold.”
“Right! Meat should be eaten while it’s hot!”
A faint smile spread on his lips as he quietly watched Kang and Samyeong waving their hands side by side.
San turned around and came back, brushing his disheveled hair with the incoming wind.
“Phew! Even the rooftop is just made into a runway!”
Samyeong, who was flipping the meat with tongs, shouted.
“Annoying, really! Your good looks!”
“I’m sorry.”
With nothing particular to say, Kang passed over his apology with a giggle, and Samyeong’s face turned even redder.
“Don’t apologize, jerk! If you’re sorry, share some of your hair!”
His angry shouting and her laughter holding her stomach echoed under the night sky.
Squeeak!
The pork belly on the heated grill was getting golden brown.
Samyeong mixed soybean paste in the scooped red pepper paste and added chopped green chili peppers.
And Kang looked at the various pickles and unidentified wild greens on the plate and asked.
“What are all these?”
“I dried them in the spring and boiled them.”
“What are their names?”
“There’s dandelion, balloon flower, and dropwort.”
“And this pickle that looks like ginger?”
“Pig potato.”
It was a whole basket of vegetables that the landlord had grown himself for diabetes and had pickled them.
Anyway, there was nothing missing when you came to Samyeong’s house.
“Brother.”
“Huh?”
“I don’t have a grandmother, but if I had a grandmother living in the countryside, I think it would be just like this.”
“Don’t talk too much at the table. Eat quickly.”
He cut off the sprout of ridicule and picked up a wellcooked slice of pork belly with tongs.
Then he cut it large and brought it to Kang and San’s front plate.
San, who was staring at the pork belly on the plate, spoke.
“Brother.”
“Why.”
“I don’t have a grandmother, but”
“Quiet.”
Annoyed that these guys were now teasing the adults in pairs, he got angry.
“I’ll eat well, brother.”
Kang, holding back her laughter, picked up a piece of meat that he had laid out with her chopsticks.
“I will eat well.”
San also picked up his chopsticks in response.
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?”
