Imperial Hospital Director’s Office.
Baek Sunhwa sat in the desk chair and spun the chair around. Looking particularly pleased, Sunhwa burst into intermittent laughter.
Visiting Director Seo Gukhwan’s office again was a move of genius.
Although she obtained the worst information about intending to marry, the bomb she had been trying to detonate was now in her hands.
Meanwhile, it seemed she was tirelessly working to repay the money from Baekhwa Finance.
‘What should I do? Trying to get rid of me, Director, you fell into the trap.’
“Director Baek.”
“For the Brain Research Center, to cover the deficits, he used hospital funds for land speculation and bought virtual currency.”
Where she acquired the wrong information, the land she bought was still tied up in the green belt, almost barren. Moreover, the virtual currency was almost gone as the bubble burst.
If reported to the prosecution, he would be immediately dishonorably retired due to embezzlement.
For Director Seo Gukhwan, who valued honor, it was an unthinkable event.
“Marriage? Whose decision is marriage anyway?”
Now, I could do anything for the marriage of Seo Hyun-woo and me.
Even the depression I thought I couldn’t overcome, dropping that one nuisance seemed like a piece of cake.
Even if we had already submitted the marriage registration, it didn’t matter.
Whether it was a divorced man or a separated man, as long as the end of Seo Hyun-woo’s life was with me…
No, it seemed like it wouldn’t matter even if we didn’t get married.
Preserving the human named Seo Hyun-woo in the Imperial Hospital and being satisfied just by watching him seemed possible now.
If there dared to be a person who wanted to be his woman, I could easily tie their arms and legs and throw them away.
Sunhwa’s phone rang. It was Director Seo Gukhwan.
Director Baek.
“Yes, I’m listening.”
I’ve done everything I can do now.
“Director, did you call just to show off after doing that little thing?”
Even in this situation, Director Seo Gukhwan, who maintained his dignity toward me, was somewhat amusing.
Indeed, not all parents were the same just because they were parents.
I was abandoned at birth, grew up without knowing who my mother was or recognizing her face.
My father, eager for profit, was obsessed with selling me somewhere.
The one I loved endlessly, Seo Hyun-woo, lost his mother early, and his father sought to profit from him.
In this way, Seo Hyun-woo was a person similar to me.
Who else could take care of him if not me?
“If Yoo So-ri doesn’t leave for sure, you should be prepared not only for fund recovery but also for a prosecution investigation.”
Instead, I need some time.
“I can’t wait long. I’ve already waited too long, so I don’t have much patience left.”
…….
“Also, from now on, answer my calls promptly. Don’t miss any chances for no reason. I’ll be looking forward to a quick information update. Well then.”
Click.
Leaving only my words, Sunhwa unilaterally hung up the phone.
The wrinkles on the fully filled vermilion lips gradually faded, and the corners of the mouth lifted upwards.
It seemed there was no time for melancholy when there was a target to jump into and hunt.
Today’s rabbit hunt was successful, so I should celebrate alone.
The next day.
Hiding in the on-call room, the sound of sobbing, tired and worn out, fell asleep late at dawn and suddenly woke up.
“What time is it now? What should I do? Am I crazy!”
I forgot that I was supposed to assist in the first surgery this morning.
It was Hyunwoo’s surgery, but it was also a surgery observed by interns and participated in by Chief Kang Sehun as the first assistant.
The sound of despair began to run towards the operating room.
Huff, huff, huff.
Still catching her breath, the sound entered the operating room.
“Sorry for being late.”
Everyone was watching Hyunwoo.
When a disapproving remark was about to be made, stiff eyes were searching through the sound.
“We will start the surgery right away.”
Unexpectedly, Hyunwoo’s low and calm voice pierced through the cold air of the operating room.
Hyunwoo, who was sitting, immediately focused on the microscope.
What’s going on? Why just let it pass? Something’s strange.
Nurses and doctors who knew Hyunwoo’s personality exchanged glances. But soon, following Hyunwoo’s instructions, they began to concentrate on the surgery.
The sound bowed deeply and quickly found her place.
After the brain tumor patient Guseonghee died, this was the first tumor patient. It was a considerable responsibility.
The sound scolded herself inwardly for being late for such surgery and glanced at Hyunwoo.
Hyunwoo, feeling her gaze, briefly met eyes with the sound. The sound bowed slightly again, meaning another apology.
But even that was short-lived, and Sound’s concentration rapidly declined. There were several instances of absent-mindedly performing unnecessary procedures.
Sehun, who was watching from the opposite side, chuckled inwardly.
“Suction.”
“…….”
“Suction.”
“…….”
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?”
