Yura quickly left the hotel and pulled over at the roadside a short distance away, fearing an accident might occur due to her turbulent emotions.
“I don’t want to repeat such shameful acts because of him.”
“Ha, what a situation.”
Yura laughed bitterly, biting her lip.
This absurd situation and Jin Ho’s actions turned her stomach. She wanted clarity on whose idea this was.
Resolving to sever ties if Jin Ho really did this despite knowing her past with Sejin, she grabbed her phone.
There was no response for a long time, suggesting avoidance. Determined to see who would give in first, she finally got through.
“It’s me.”
[Dash]Yu, Yura…Hearing his subdued voice, Yura stared into space with a cold glare.
“Mr. President. No, brother-in-law.”
[Dash]Hey, don’t call me that personally, it makes my heart race.Well, why did he do something to make his heart race like that?
Yura twisted her trembling lips, trying to suppress her anger as she sought to understand the situation with a constrained voice.
“Was it you, brother-in-law, who requested Oh Sejin?”
[Dash] No, absolutely not. They approached us first.It was unexpected. Usually, the planning side approaches the performers. While less famous individuals might initiate contact, a rising star like Sejin wouldn’t usually opt for this approach.
Sejin was a hot figure in the classical music world.
Furthermore, given his aversion to performing domestically, it was a desperate situation for every planning agency. It was assumed that if he did a local show, he would choose Argon Art Center, given their ongoing efforts to woo him since last year.
But for him to approach Songlim first, it couldn’t just be a coincidence.
“And you just accepted?”
“But you did!”
Yura couldn’t hide her erupting emotions as she shouted, frustrated by his rambling excuses.
[Dash] Argon was doing some backstage work to rope in Sejin.“Ha.”
Yura sighed deeply at the continuing excuses. Jin Ho kept on justifying his position.
[Dash] I did think a lot about it. But we’re perennially second to Argon. Rejecting Sejin might have backfired. And that would have only benefited Argon.Yura somewhat understood Jin Ho’s perspective. Rejecting the performer’s offer could lead to unnecessary controversy and solidify Argon’s position even further.
Moreover, Songlim, having entered the scene later, was still trailing behind Argon.
“Then why assign me as the project manager?”
“Sejin requested it, didn’t he?”
[Dash] I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done this.Yura bit her lip, speechless, as Jin Ho desperately tried to persuade her.
[Dash] Yura, I’ll make sure he doesn’t cross any lines. Just treat this as a professional commitment.Yura knew from the moment she first faced the situation that it was irreversible but couldn’t accept it.
“Okay, I understand.”
She responded in a calm yet sharp voice and hung up the phone, unable to contain her frustration.
“Ugh, so annoying!”
After all, Sejin choosing her and coming to Korea was already crossing the line.
Having received reports of unusual activities, Lee Hyun visited Jin Ho, who casually changed the topic and eventually called Jin Yura to avoid the situation.
Wondering what to do, Lee Hyun entered his office where his secretary handed him a small envelope.
Urgently receiving the material, Lee Hyun, with deepening eyes, examined the contents. Inside the envelope were pictures of Oh Sejin entering the country, dated today. A sardonic smile broke on his face at the unsurprising photos.
“Ha, it really is Oh Sejin.”
So this is why he kept sneakily taking trips to Europe, and now he’s pulled off such a cute event. There was even a photo of him entering Songlim Art Center. That means he had already encountered Jin Yura and more.
He might not have met her directly yet, but Lee Hyun’s sharp intuition leaned towards them having already crossed paths. Staring at the photo laid on the table, Lee Hyun stabbed the face of Oh Sejin in the photo with a paper knife.
“Both of these guys really have some nerve.”
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?”
