Dohan was sitting on the sofa, looking at his phone.
After finishing the shower first, he was searching for a restaurant near the hotel on behalf of Sarang.
He planned to pick a few places, let her know, and have her decide.
While checking several reviews posted by people, the bathroom door opened.
“What should we eat for dinner?”
He asked while hearing Sarang coming out.
His gaze was still fixed on his phone.
“If you don’t want to go out, the hotel restaurant is fine too.”
Having left home early in the morning and wandered around all day, she might be tired.
Moreover, it rained, and she was cautious not to catch a cold.
However, until Sarang approached him, he didn’t respond.
Dohan felt something strange and looked up.
He expected her to come out after changing into clothes from the bathroom, so he was a little surprised to see her in a shower gown.
On the other hand, while Sarang felt her chest trembling under his gaze, Dohan, who noticed the unexpected situation, could only stare without saying anything.
She had expected him to say something, but Dohan just continued to gaze at her without responding.
Unable to bear it, she reluctantly opened her mouth.
“Jiwoo, put a gift in my bag.”
“A gift?”
“Yes. So, I wore it.”
Seeing Sarang’s blushing face, Dohan realized that the gift was underwear.
Although he was also confused by the unexpected situation, curiosity overcame him, and he lowered his phone.
Perhaps they might have to postpone dinner, he thought.
“Let me see.”
Jiwoo chose the gift.
As if saying, “Check the details,” he comfortably leaned back on the sofa and clenched his fist.
It was an attempt to relieve tension, but his actions increased tension for Sarang.
“S-So, there’s no separate manual, so I’m not sure if I wore it properly.”
Sarang slowly untied the belt of the shower gown around her waist.
Her mouth dried up, and she stumbled over her words.
“What manual do you need for underwear…”
Dohan, who was about to ask if it was necessary, suddenly choked.
The moment the shower gown spread open, a breathtaking black slip enveloped her body.
No, due to the not-so-dense mesh, it didn’t completely cover, revealing her white skin.
“Is, is this how you wear it?”
Turning her head away from the straight gaze piercing her, Sarang felt embarrassed to the point where she wanted to run away after showing it.
Unable to endure it any longer, she hastily lifted the shower gown that had slipped slightly below her shoulders. However, he, who had approached unnoticed, held Sarang’s hand to prevent her from doing so.
“It seems more like my gift than yours.”
“…What?”
Confused by what he meant, Sarang’s eyes shook back and forth.
The hand holding hers had become warm due to his warmth.
“I even wrapped it. Here.”
Dohan gently touched the large ribbon neatly tied to the chest part of the slip.
It seemed like he was resisting the urge to untie it immediately.
In order to support the courage of the girl in front of me in this state, I decided to temporarily hide my beast-like self.
If I revealed it hastily, she might refuse to travel together again.
“Not in wrapping, but if I didn’t do it like this, everything would be exposed…”
Sarang struggled for a long time with this string in the bathroom.
It was strange no matter how she tied it.
It wasn’t easy to tie it nicely while covering her body as much as possible.
In the end, making a ribbon in front of her chest seemed to be the best choice.
“You did well. It looks like you wore it properly.”
He didn’t know well, but it seemed that way to Dohan.
Considering how her heart raced just by looking at it.
He took off the shower gown and let it fall on the floor.
Then, he carefully examined the gift.
“Kang Jiwu has good taste.”
Sarang couldn’t lift her lowered gaze.
Due to his gaze exploring her body, she became tense from head to toe.
“I thought it was a couple’s underwear for a gift.”
“Actually, when we went to the department store together, Jiwoo recommended couple’s underwear. I didn’t take a picture, but…”
“Why.”
“Jiwoo said to find out Oppa’s preferences…”
Dohan, thinking of her who would be embarrassed, smirked.
“I don’t have a particular preference for underwear.”
“No, it’s not that.”
Curiosity in his eyes, Sarang wiped her arm awkwardly.
“It’s Oppa’s preference when I wear something like this.”
“What?”
“…Whether you tear it apart or bite it off.”
Even though she said it with her mouth, she felt embarrassed and lowered her head deeply.
Should she have worn it after dinner in the dark night?
Facing the setting sun beyond the window, Sarang was fiery, as if the sun itself was setting on her face.
“Which side do you think?”
“What?”
“My preference.”
“Well, I don’t know.”
“Then, what about you?”
Understanding his words, Sarang could only blink her eyes without answering.
Then he briefly added an explanation.
“Hands? Or mouth?”
This time, she understood, but still, she couldn’t answer.
The momentary imagination that unfolded in a short time made the hair on her whole body stand up.
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?”
