They bought a lot of food and sat in a deserted grassy area.
There were limited places where they could all gather and have a quiet conversation.
“Hey! It seems like you and your husband are getting along better?”
“On your honeymoon, did anything special happen?? It seemed like it wasn’t an ordinary relationship!!”
Seo Ah had a hard time calming them down as her friends shouted for them to leave the school.
“Speak quietly.”
“But, why do you look so gaunt for someone who just had fun? Why is your voice like that? It’s hot, why the scarf? Are you sick??”
At Hyun Jung’s words, Seo Ah looked around and cautiously opened her mouth.
“The truth is…… I slept with my brother.”
“What?? Aaaah!!”
When one friend screamed out of surprise, the others also yelled.
It was because Seo Ah had said she wouldn’t sleep together until after graduation, as if she were going to have a baby then.
The embarrassment was Seo Ah’s part.
“Speak quietly!”
“Really? So, are you planning to have a baby?”
“No…… that’s not it……”
“Then why all of a sudden?”
“Hey! It’s strange if nothing happens when a young and healthy man and woman share the same blanket! Especially after getting married.”
Hyun Jung raised her voice as if she knew it would happen. No matter how innocent Seo Ah was, it seemed unlikely that Ha Joon would stay still.
“I must have refrained just like Hyun Jung said…… it only happened after I said I was okay……”
Hey, I’m actually excited? Seo Ah said she wants to have a baby after graduating from college. Even though she wants to.
It was what Hyun Jung had said when she said nothing had happened on the first night of their wedding.
“What? You said let’s do it first??”
All the friends opened their eyes wide. They had never imagined that Seo Ah would suggest it first.
“Actually…… I think my motherinlaw wants a baby. I thought I should at least show her I’m trying.”
Seo Ah held her words. She couldn’t say it was because she sincerely liked Ha Joon and wanted to be loved by him.
She was going to say it when she saw with her own eyes what kind of person Ha Joon was and felt certain he would only look at her.
If Ha Joon continued to live a promiscuous life even after marriage, and if it were to become known to the media, her friends would worry.
If that happened, she would have to pretend she hadn’t liked him and reassure her friends.
At Seo Ah’s words, the friends’ faces grimaced mercilessly.
“What? We’re only twentythree! What’s the rush! That’s funny!”
“That’s what I’m saying! It seemed like everything would fit before marriage, but now you’re changing your mind?!”
“It’s not like we can’t do it after we’re married. Like Hyun Jung said, it’s not easy to have a baby… it’s a world where onenight stands happen……”
“What if it suddenly happens!”
“There’s nothing we can do, we have to have it sometime.”
Then, one friend suddenly cringed and opened her mouth.
“But…… how was it? A new world?”
“Your husband has a great body, right! Is that why you’re so gaunt? It’s been two days since you returned from your honeymoon.”
Seo Ah couldn’t say that they were still making love even after their honeymoon.
She struggled to suppress the corners of her mouth that kept rising.
Her body was a bit, no, very tired, but she felt like she was flying.
Not just the conversation of the body, but also the conversation with words was exchanged a lot.
Seo Ah hoped that the day when she could fully express this fluttering feeling to her friends would come soon.
((()))
That evening.
“Auntie, please prepare a simple salad for dinner today and leave work early.”
“Salad?”
“Yes. I have a meeting on Friday, so I’m going to see a dress today.”
Seo Ah smiled shyly.
It was because she had just received a message from Seok Hoon saying he would pick her up around 7.
She knew how important work was to Ha Joon, so she didn’t expect it, and originally she was planning to go see it with Yeong Ju or her mom, but it was surprising that he finished two days early.
“Still, you should eat something……”
“It’s okay. I had a very late and large lunch.”
Seo Ah gently rubbed her belly. She met with her friends after a long time and ate a lot, feeling as if her stomach had protruded a bit. But to Yeon Sook, it was unnoticeable.
“If you’re hungry, you can eat with oppa after looking at the dress.”
Seo Ah soothed her words, worrying that Yeon Sook might worry.
Of course, it was only words. She felt like she would have to refrain until Friday. If she wanted to wear a pretty dress.
“I don’t know if we have salad ingredients.”
When Yeon Sook opened the refrigerator, Seo Ah quickly approached to take a look together. She thought about eating anything that was there, but Yeon Sook was someone who would say she’d buy more even when there was enough.
However, a tangerine chocolate was haphazardly placed in the middle of the refrigerator. Judging from the lumpy shape with chocolate smudged all over the wrapper, it seemed like it was put in after melting.
Just a chocolate, but why does it feel so unpleasant?
As Seo Ah stared intently at the chocolate, Yeon Sook picked it up.
“Ah, this. It came out of master’s jacket pocket.”
“Really?”
Could it be the chocolate she gave him because he looked upset on Sunday?
“It was all melted, and the pocket was dirty. I don’t know why he kept it when he dislikes chocolate. I was going to eat it after it hardened again.”
“Ah… Does oppa dislike chocolate?”
“Huh? Didn’t you know? Since that day, he gets surprised whenever he sees chocolate. It seems like he doesn’t show his dislike to Madam. Perhaps he feels too sorry.”
“That day… what are you talking about? Why would he feel sorry?”
Seo Ah was perplexed. Yeon Sook was speaking as if she knew something.
“The incident when the Valentine’s Day chocolate was lost.”
Valentine’s Day? Could it be… referring to the chocolate she made herself and gave him for the first and last time, feeling sorry 6 years ago? Surely it can’t be. Ha Joon definitely said he threw it in the trash, didn’t he?
“What do you mean…”
A quake shook in Yeon Sook’s eyes.
“Oh dear, what should I do… you really didn’t know? The master didn’t say anything… I thought you two had a good talk… please don’t say that I mentioned it…”
Yeon Sook fiddled with her fingers, blocked her mouth, and anxiously looked around.
“Please tell me in detail. Is that time when oppa had a military leave? Are you saying that the one I gave got lost?”

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?”
