Watching this, Hyun Woo’s expression was utterly cold.
He turned his body and walked out of the nurse station. Then he walked along the corridor where she stood with an unhesitating stride.
Just as the old lady’s guardian entered the ward and greeted Sori, she turned her body.
What? Is she avoiding?
From yesterday, a faint furrow had formed on his forehead as he had become a ‘beast’ to Sori.
Belatedly, Sori sensed someone’s presence from afar, discovered the approaching Hyun Woo, and was startled out of her wits.
She should have greeted him, but unknowingly she slipped into the emergency exit and hid herself.
Leaning her back against the iron door, she propped her forehead with her chin, making enough noise to be heard.
“Am I really crazy? Why avoid, why!”
Last night, all her resolutions made throughout the night ended up in smoke.
The fact that she had to confront it to get used to it.
As she steeled her mind and opened the emergency door once again.
“Heeek!”
In front of the door, Seo Hyun Woo stood with an emotionless face.
“Pro, professor, you came out.”
“I told you not to catch my eye yesterday.”
“Ah, yes, you did, true.”
Sori, who was trying to go out of the emergency exit, rather stepped back awkwardly. It was because Hyun Woo pushed in toward the emergency exit.
As the distance suddenly decreased dramatically, the overwhelming presence made it hard for Sori to even breathe.
“Yesterday… I was sorry, and thank you.”
“Your condition?”
“I’m fully recovered.”
“Then you can roll now.”
“Yes, please roll me hard.”
He looked down at Sori, who didn’t even know what she was saying, with an indifferent face.
“Come to the lab every day until 8 in the evening, starting from today.”
“Every day?”
“Why?”
“No, I’ll go.”
“Okay, then, good luck.”
Hyun Woo walked down the stairs as he was.
Whew, it was Sori who swept down her chest along with a long sigh.
The job of going back and forth between the ward, emergency room, and operating room ended at 7 in the evening.
Now, there were tasks that could be done at a somewhat fixed place.
I need to check the photos taken today, I need to give orders, and I need to organize the list of patients admitted and discharged.
Ah, can I do this in an hour?
Sori was planning her work minute by minute, second by second, and demonstrating superhuman concentration in order to meet the time set by Hyun Woo.
“Yu Sol. Yu Sol.”
“Eh?”
Gi Tae, who quickly grabbed dumplings for dinner, looked at Sori who was entering the orders with a surprised expression.
“What, already done?”
“Did you have a good dinner?”
“Roughly.”
Gi Tae looked at Sori, who was working as if she was possessed, with his mouth wide open, and then gave her a thumbs up.
“Sori. This is amazing. I look incompetent all of a sudden.”
“Oh, no. You’ve been working hard in the operating room.”
“You, what, you didn’t have a hard time in the emergency room, did you? Did you eat?”
Gi Tae asked, but the question came back to him.
“Why did you visit Professor Park’s office?”
“I was asked to prepare a case study for the paper. I’m going to pull a few allnighters, I have to prepare for a presentation, and I have to dig up the paper again. It’s really hell.”
“Tell me about it. I’m not making much progress with my presentation either, I keep getting emergency calls.”
“Just the usual, I guess.”
For both Ki Tae and Sori, working late was a necessity today as well.
As soon as it was 7:55 PM, Sori abruptly stood up from her seat.
Although she hadn’t even started to organize the list of admitted and discharged patients, it was a priority to respond to Hyun Woo’s call.
“Where are you going?”
“Professor Seo’s calling.”
Ki Tae looked at Sori with sympathetic eyes, groggy from sleep.
“Professor Seo seemed to be looking at you particularly sternly. You made a mistake in the emergency room earlier, and he immediately frowned. I thought my spine would shiver to death.”
“Ugh… me too.”
The emergency room was already stressful, but when he was watching, she felt particularly more tense and prone to making mistakes she normally wouldn’t.
“Do you think he’s calling you in because of that?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why did you make a mistake on your first day?”
Although he called Sori as soon as she arrived, Ki Tae seemed to think it was because of a mistake she made earlier in the day.
He didn’t scold her verbally today, but just frowning and looking at her made her feel like she was already scolded.
Still, it was desirable for a resident to brush it off and continue to act nonchalantly.
“I’ll be back.”
“Rest in peace, Yu Sol.”
“Thanks.”
.
.
.
Nothing could be sharper than this.
Right in front of the lab, it was precisely 8 AM.
Sori, who was allowed to enter the lab with a knock, carefully opened the door.
Hyun Woo was sitting at his desk with a neat posture.
“Professor.”
“Just a moment.”
“Yes.”
When he finished organizing the materials he was going through, he glanced at Sori and furrowed his brow for a moment.
“Did you come like this?”
“Pardon?”
Looking down at me, I was still in my surgical gown.
Suddenly he took off his doctor’s gown, threading his arm through the sleeve of his suit jacket, he said,
“Go change your clothes now and meet me at the hospital main entrance.”
When Sori hesitated because she still had unfinished work, he rushed her.
“What are you doing. Hurry.”
She thought she would be assisting with his paper, but the place they ended up was his apartment.
And his home, where no one, not even Ji Woo, had ever been.
In front of the entrance.
“Can you memorize the number?”
“Pardon? Oh, yes.”
Beep beep beep beep beep.
His long finger slowly pressed the numbers, and Sori memorized the number as instructed.
With a cheerful electronic sound and a click, the moment the door opened and she intruded into his sanctuary for the first time,
Sori could feel a completely different air entering her lungs, compared to her own home.
His house seemed to be at least twice the size of Sori’s apartment at first glance.
The size of the living room, the number of closed doors here and there, it was obvious even from a quick glance.
“What’s the number?”
“Ah, it’s 173526.”
She answered promptly even though she was in a daze, which made him chuckle lightly.
“Come this way.”
“Yes.”
It was when they reached the door after passing through the long corridor, which looked like a maze.
How was she to handle this unfamiliar excitement?

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?”
