“Collaborate with Secretary Kim and find any weaknesses in S Group, big or small. Shake up the entire group and show them the time has come. We must pay the price if we dare to touch Taesung.”
“Yes, I understand!”
“And mobilize all overseas resources to save Choi Youngju.”
“Yes!”
Seoa’s eyes sparkled. She couldn’t take her eyes off Taehyuk’s ability and powerful presence, which seemed capable of bringing back the dead.
As soon as Seokhun and the secretary left the room, Minjeong also led Seoa.
“Seoa needs to rest too. What’s wrong with your face? Let’s quickly go to the hospital room.”
“Huh? I… I’m fine…”
Seoa, who wanted to stay with Hajun more, was pushed out by Minjeong, looking at Hajun with a longing gaze.
Hajun also wanted to stay with her, but he had no choice but to let her rest. He was thankful for Minjeong’s concern for Seoa.
Once Minjeong and Seoa left, Taehyuk, as if waiting for the right moment, opened his mouth.
“You should have told me earlier if something like this happened. What’s with this situation?”
Taehyuk couldn’t say anything to Hajun because Seoa was there.
“I wanted to resolve it on my own because those who made things difficult for Seoa were my doing. I could resolve it on my own until the end, but my body is like this now… I’ll quickly recover and get up, so please make sure Seoa doesn’t get hurt in the meantime.”
“Sigh, tsk… Who knew you’d resemble someone so much and take care of yourself like this?”
“You resemble Father.”
Taehyuk coughed lightly. It wasn’t the time for his father-in-law’s words. Taehyuk had also been injured while trying to save Minjeong when he was young.
“Well, anyway, I will handle it well, so don’t think about quickly recovering and getting up. Take this time to recharge.”
“It’s okay.”
“He’s so stubborn.”
“You resemble Father in that too.”
“Tsk.”
Taehyuk clicked his tongue and nodded his head with a wry smile.
“Well, it was a bit reckless, but you created a proper pretext. Rumors were already circulating that S Group was clouding the waters in the business world. You’ve made a pretext that can shake them up properly.”
Minjeong came to the hospital room with Seoa’s fist in her hand.
Seoa wasn’t in so much pain that she needed support, but she didn’t refuse Minjeong’s care.
“Sigh, it’s a relief that only I did it. How could you think of getting hit by a dump truck and jumping out of a moving car.”
“That’s true…”
“The Kang family genes are unmistakable. Your father did the same. Didn’t your father throw himself in front of a car to save you when he was young?”
“Really?”
Seoa’s eyes widened because it was something that happened before she was born, so she had no idea.
“It happened over 30 years ago. How would you know? The accident was quite severe, but luckily, the Kang family was lucky, and they didn’t get seriously hurt.”
“Ah…”
“Come to think of it, Chairman also had a traffic accident, and both of them were at that time. He was lucky, physically robust, and even now, he looks healthy when he’s looking at wrinkles.”
“That’s true.”
“What are you standing there for? Lie down quickly.”
When Minjeong pulled up the blanket on the bed and spoke, Seoa climbed onto the bed and sat down, groaning.
“Sigh… My body is like this, so I guess I have to go to the meeting alone on Friday.”
“Ah… I’m okay. I can go.”
“It’s okay. For a while, it seems like the business world will be noisy, so it’s better for Seoa to take care of her body. Fortunately, it’s vacation time now.”
Seoa’s eyes became moist. She didn’t know that Minjeong cared about her this much.
“Thank you, Mother.”
“No, why are you crying again? If someone sees, they’ll think I said something.”
“Heuk…”
When Minjeong comforted her and patted her back, Seoa’s tears burst again.
At that moment, the door of the hospital room opened with a creak.
Jinwon and Hyegyeong, who had taken a short break outside while Seoa was entering Hajun’s room, came in.
Thinking that there was no one in the room, they opened the door without knocking, so they were surprised when they saw Minjeong.
And when they saw Seoa crying, their pupils shook violently.
Flustered, Minjeong stood up and greeted them.
“You’ve come.”
“Ah… Yes…”
Jinwon and Hyegyeong alternately looked at Minjeong and Seoa with wide-eyed expressions, and Seoa spoke up cheerfully.
“Mom said so many kind words that I cried!”
“Ah~ I see.”
Laughter echoed in the hospital room.
After Minjeong left the room, Hyegyeong grabbed Seoa and sighed.
Seoa had a lot to say as soon as she woke up, but what she wanted to do now was to meet Hajun directly.
“If something like this happened, you should have told Mom! Why were you suffering alone!”
On the one hand, she couldn’t understand why she, who thought Hajun was leading a dissolute life, rushed into marriage without showing any signs of it to them.
Did she think she had to do it because of a promise between companies? But…
“To prevent you from getting married…”
Seoa mumbled with muddy lips, and Jinwon and Hyegyeong were so dumbfounded that they couldn’t speak.
“If I said that my brother is such a person, do you think Mom and Dad would have stayed still? I still wanted to marry my brother… I don’t like that Mom and Dad hate my brother because of that…”
“Pride! Even if a woman seems easy, it’s not attractive!”
“Tsk…”
“But really, did your mother say good things? What did she say?”
Seoa nodded vigorously with a bright smile.
“Yeah! Mom supported me all the way and comforted me!”
“Ah… Thank you… I didn’t know that… By the way, dear, we didn’t look at her strangely just now, did we?”
“Hehe. You shouldn’t misunderstand… Well…”
That evening,
Hajun’s quiet hospital room suddenly became noisy.
Seoa brought another bed into Hajun’s room. She had arranged it by asking Yeonsuk.
“What… are you doing?”
“Dear, I’ll take care of you until you get better!”
Hajun was very flustered. He didn’t want to show a painful appearance to Seoa, and he wanted her to rest comfortably in her parents’ house because the hospital life would be uncomfortable.
“Dear, you have to be discharged tomorrow. Rest in your parents’ house for a while.”
Seoa, unabashedly, opened her suitcase and started organizing her belongings.
Hajun could only feel frustrated. He wanted to hug her and send her back to the original room right away.
“I found it!”
Seoa, who found the diffuser first, put it beside Hajun’s bed.
“I can’t sleep while hugging you, so I thought I should have a diffuser!”
Hajun’s heart became warm with Seoa’s bright smile and words. It was frustrating that he couldn’t embrace such a lovely woman.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the hospital room, and Hajun and Seoa’s gaze turned toward the door.
It was a bodyguard.
“The guest has come. I strongly told him that visiting is not allowed, but he asked me to convey it just once…”
“…Who is it?”
“He says it’s Kim Jiyoung.”
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?”
