It was not common for a married couple to work in the same hospital, especially in the same department. While they paid attention to each other at the hospital, they made a thorough effort to distinguish between work and personal matters. However, the couple’s thoughts might have been different from what others perceived.
Hyunwoo, not having anyone openly express their thoughts to him, was more concerned about Sori’s words.
“Be honest. Has anyone been giving you a hard time? Is there any discomfort in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department?”
“To be honest, the most uncomfortable thing lately is…”
“Don’t beat around the bush.”
“It’s Professor.”
Sori playfully said, shaking her head with a smile.
Although the atmosphere had eased a bit, Hyunwoo added a remark with a cold tone, fearing Sori might take it seriously.
“Actually, everyone envies me.”
“What?”
Hyunwoo furrowed his eyebrows, wondering if he heard correctly.
“They say they envy me because I’m married to someone like Professor. They say if they could be reborn, they would want to marry Professor Hyunwoo. I happened to overhear nurses talking about it in the station.”
With one eyebrow raised, he leaned his head to the side.
“Hearing that, I even feel jealous in my next life.”
“…”
“It’s not just once or twice. Every time I hear it, it feels strange.”
With a puzzled expression, he looked down at Sori with blurred eyes. It was truly unbelievable.
“I, on the other hand, do you know how worried I was after hearing that story?”
“Really? I’m sorry. Lately, I’ve been feeling inexplicably fluctuating emotions. Sometimes those words feel good, and sometimes they sound like curses. Why am I like this these days?”
He sighed softly. It was probably due to hormonal influences.
“Yeah, Professor following me around and taking over my work has made me rebellious lately.”
“No, it’s not that.”
Knowing how much he was struggling, she felt annoyed.
He was taking care of everything, even things he didn’t have to, just to help her. He was handling and organizing tasks beyond his scope, from mistakes made by interns to first-year residents, just to prevent them from reaching Sori. If she pretended not to know, it would all fall on Sori.
Seeing him do all that, she was worried for him.
“Because Professor does things that he doesn’t have to do. Why does Professor draw blood instead of interns? Does that make sense?”
Hyunwoo chuckled and this time pinched both of Sori’s cheeks. When Sori shook her head as if to say she wasn’t displeased, he pinched her cheeks again, causing Sori to flinch and say, “Ouch.”
“While I’m struggling with thoughts of our baby, what about you?”
“Is Intern Eugene Young enjoying looking at Professor with heart eyes?”
“Stop making things up.”
“How can a married man be even more popular after everyone knows? It doesn’t make sense.”
“What popularity? And what’s the use of that popularity? Every word from Yoo Sori makes my heart flutter every hour and every minute.”
Upon hearing those words, Sori’s mood seemed to brighten, and a smile appeared on her lips.
“Just a moment… So, the reason for the morning tears was jealousy?”
“It’s not like that.”
“But you were irritated like that?”
“If that’s the case, I wished no one would help me. If you do well, I take it for granted. The intern can’t get a grip.”
As Sori complained genuinely, Hyunwoo chuckled as if finding it cute. And somehow, Hyunwoo’s mood improved.
“I thought nobody cared about me at the hospital lately, but were you watching everything?”
“How can I not see Professor? In my eyes, I only see Professor.”
“I don’t kno~w.”
Suddenly, Sori’s mouth opened wide. Hyunwoo just burst into laughter.
“Anyway, today there was jealousy, irritation, and feeling sorry to the professor. So, like a fool, I cried again.”
Of course, it was Hyunwoo who triggered it.
Hyunwoo, with laughter in his eyes, held Sori’s hand while wiping away the laughter-induced tears from the corners of his eyes.
“I need you to tell me like this. I keep my mouth shut, not knowing if it’s jealousy, dissatisfaction, or irritation. I also make mistakes with you.”
“I don’t want to be childish.”
“Don’t be childish. Whether it’s jealousy, irritation, or whatever, express your feelings freely. I’ll accept it all.”
“Then, since we’re talking about it, can I be more jealous?”
“Is there still more?”
“I haven’t started yet.”
He said, leaning in, and put his lips on hers.
“When I was an intern, Professor was in a different hospital. I envy that intern.”
Between each syllable she spoke, he moistened her lips like a breath. It was a jealousy that suited Yoo Sori. It was so cute that it was driving him crazy.
“Then, scold me harshly until tears are shed? A complaint comes in because I can’t do a simple blood draw. If you make seniors work a lot, they’ll kick me out.”
“Oh. If you do that, I’ll run away again. We’re already short of hands.”
Sori suddenly shifted her body a little. Lifting the blanket, she said,
“But why isn’t Professor coming in? Come here. Lie down next to me.”
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?”
