But even if words were like that, everyone knew that Ted and Amber trusted and followed Taeseo a lot. Although Taeseo may act arrogantly without acknowledgment, everyone knew that he cared for Ted and Amber as much as they stayed by his side.
You’re really unlucky. It’s unbelievable why the angelic Jaein is meeting you. It’s truly unreasonable that she accepted your ring.
Though Amber attacked to scratch Taeseo’s inside, he just raised one eyebrow, seemingly annoyed, and didn’t seem to listen to Amber’s words properly.
While watching that, Sanghwa wiped away tears, smiled, and when Jaein returned, she was already there.
“Our Jaein, we really have to go now, right?”
“Yeah…”
“What are you going to do coming to Korea and leaving? There’s no good memory about Korea for you… I’m really upset.”
“No. I met you who came from Korea, and here, I also got to know Mr. Taeseo. The most precious people to me in my life have connections to Korea. My mom too. So, to me, Korea is a good country.”
Sanghwa tapped Jaein’s buttocks with an admiring expression on her face. Her touch was so natural, as if she had done it more than once. Watching from a distance, Taeseo furrowed his brows and approached them.
“Hey, Mr. Kang Taeseo, your jealousy is no joke.”
“Huh?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Sanghwa shook her head, indicating that it was nothing, and patted Jaein’s buttocks once more, as if to show it off to Taeseo. In response, Taeseo reached out and embraced Jaein.
“We should go inside now.”
“Yeah.”
Time had passed unnoticed. The farewell at the airport was the last one. The three people leaving for Korea on the flight today were Taeseo, Jaein, and Ted, who was heading to Chicago alone.
As Taeseo’s resignation was being processed, Director Jang also decided to settle his ties with Kangsun Group. He planned to follow Taeseo to the United States, becoming his person and working together.
However, since Taeseo’s resignation had not been finalized yet, Director Jang was still busy. Moreover, even if he submitted his resignation, there were many tasks related to the handover of responsibilities to the successor, so it would take some time before he could go to the United States.
Amber, as the interim CEO of Hyeonyang Construction, still had some work to do in Korea.
Therefore, for a while, she planned to stay in Korea with her lover, and each night, they would enjoy beer while dealing with the bomb Taeseo threw at her. The only thing she hoped for was that the cat brought from Taeseo’s house would be by her side.
“Anyway, come to the U.S. for a visit. Got it?”
“Yeah. Don’t say I visit too often.”
“Why would I say that?”
“Ms. Sanghwa, are you really going to visit the U.S. frequently?”
“Yeah…?”
While laughing at what she said, Jaein, who couldn’t understand what she was muttering, tilted her head, looking at Taeseo who was mumbling something incomprehensible.
“Oh, even if you come, you won’t stay at our house for long, right?”
“What are you talking about? Ms. Sanghwa doesn’t know anyone in Chicago. If she comes to Chicago, of course…”
“If she doesn’t know anyone, when Ms. Sanghwa comes to Chicago, it’s only natural for her to stay and live in a house.”
Looking down at the surprised Jaein, Taeseo, who had been teasing, smiled mischievously.
“Ted wants to stay a bit longer in Korea, so I told him to go to the U.S. after I handle urgent matters. Oh, did I mention that to you?”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah. If he comes this time, Ted will also get a house in Chicago. Even if I do this or that, it’s more convenient for him to work next to me.”
Suddenly talking about Ted, Jaein, who didn’t understand English, had a momentary spark in her eyes.
“So when will you tell everyone that you two are dating?”
At Taeseo’s sudden question, Sanghwa, surprised by the turn of events, widened her eyes. Jaein, in Taeseo’s arms, also opened her eyes slightly, looking at Sanghwa.
“No, it’s not dating. It’s more like…”
“Oh, not dating? Are you just going to play with a young and innocent guy?”
“Who, who said that?”
“I treat Ted in my own way.”
Completely turning away from Sanghwa, Taeseo raised the corner of his mouth. Although they were the same person, the smile he put on this time seemed a bit stern for some reason.
Sanghwa, feeling that it wasn’t because of her mood, was also a person with a conscience.
“Ted is the number one in the world ranking of the online game Asterion. He’s been guarding that position for three years since the game was released, doing all sorts of things.”
“…”
“A while ago, he put up all his weapons, armor, and even the character for sale. Even without that, considering he dabbles in stocks, he would have a lot of money. Isn’t it obvious why he wants to sell and get rid of the game character? It means he doesn’t have time to play games anymore and has something else he’s deeply immersed in.”
“…”
“Ted must have spent an enormous amount of money on that game.”
“…”
“Of course, judging by the market, if he sells that, he’ll have several times the cost of enhancement left over.”
When Sanghwa, who had closed her mouth tightly, gestured with her eyes, Ted, not knowing what had happened, approached with a delighted face.
Sanghwa, who had been told to keep her distance as much as possible outside, looked like a docile puppy when called by her, in a crowded place.
“I will live happily with Yoon Jaein. So, Miss Sanghwa, don’t lightly consider the childish desire to sell everything, even the panties you’re wearing, to be close to the person you like. Ted seems to be looking for a house on both sides, shuttling between Korea and Chicago.”
“… Don’t lightly consider it. I just…”
“Just…?”
“I’m embarrassed to let people know, and… I just…”
“Embarrassed…?”
“Me! It’s just that… I’m just a naive kid who got taken over. Well, it’s true that I got taken over. After finding out, I quietly… took over the quiet Ted. I teased him, comforted him gently, and told him to believe only in me, that I would teach him a new world…”
The atmosphere became silent for a moment. Only Ted, who didn’t properly understand Sanghwa’s rapid speech, was giggling and laughing. Jaein, with a flushed face, coughed awkwardly, and Amber and Taeseo turned their gazes away, keeping their mouths shut.
“…That night, on the night something happened… I said I would sleep for only 30 minutes in the middle and wake up, so be prepared. I also said I would send him to Hong Kong. Ted misunderstood that I meant let’s go on a trip to Hong Kong and disappeared to get his passport. But when I went home, hastily grabbed only my passport, and returned to the hotel in a hurry, he was gone…”
Cook, starting with Taeseo’s burst of laughter, everyone couldn’t hold back their laughter, congratulating the birth of the couple Sanghwa and Ted.
“…Representative.”
Instead of calling him Director, Jang used the new title “Representative” to address Taeseo. She, who had turned to take a call a while ago, was now contemplating as she stared at Taeseo.
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?”
