11 Virtues A Hero's Civilian Friend Must Uphold (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 33
“Quite impressive, huh?”
Hee Won smiled faintly as he prodded the two men sprawled on the ground—battered and motionless—with the toe of his boot, rummaging through their pockets like someone sifting through trash.
His expression, as he checked on the men and then glanced toward his teammates, betrayed a hint of pride.
Seriously, something’s off.
Thinking that heroes—including her friends and even that guy—were all strangely abnormal, Na Eun shook her head slowly.
“His leg really is broken, but maybe it’s because this bastard’s leg bones are naturally weak.”
“I lost control of my strength, thanks to the alcohol.”
Hee Won grabbed the collar of one unconscious man, lifting him like a sack, when he noticed the man’s ankle twisted in an eerie direction.
Seon Jin quickly added an excuse from the side, and Seung Joo readily admitted it was her fault.
According to protocol, they should have beaten them just enough and then dumped them at the police station or somewhere, since breaking a leg could be considered excessive force by the Center and invite serious reprimand.
But Hee Won, their team leader, simply chuckled and brushed the whole incident aside.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it myself.”
“…….”
Seung Joo and Seon Jin stared silently at Hee Won’s back as he calmly picked up his phone and started dialing someone without so much as a single word of anger.
His personality wasn’t great, his private life messy—in fact, he ranked number one among people they never wanted to get involved with—but in moments like this, they couldn’t help but feel: well, he’s the team leader for a reason.
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?”
