As Juwon sat next to her, Ina quickly turned on the TV.
Juwon sat close to Ina, placed his hand on her waist, and pulled her closer.
“Ahem.”
Ina, making an unnecessarily solemn coughing sound like a stern school principal, flipped through the channels.
Regardless of that, Juwon continued to look down at Ina while embracing her waist.
Rolling her eyes, Ina spoke.
“Hey… can you watch TV instead of just staring at me?”
“Don’t want to? I came here to see you, you know?”
“No, even if that’s the case, if you look too much, it’s a bit……”
“A bit what?”
“A bit… embarrassing, you know.”
“Really? I enjoyed it when you looked at my body earlier.”
Chuckle.
Ina, exhaling a rhinoceros-like breath, looked at Juwon.
Juwon’s face was full of laughter.
“Really… are you going to keep talking about that? Embarrassing?”
“What’s embarrassing about it? You saw what’s yours.”
Honestly… there’s no way to handle this humor of Lee Juwon.
Ina looked at Juwon without resentment.
Upon which, Juwon chuckled and kissed Ina on the cheek.
“Okay. I won’t tease you anymore, so let’s just relax today, watching TV or something. The pace might not be good.”
“No, it’s almost completely relaxed now.”
“Still, resting well today will help with work tomorrow.”
“Well, then, shall we watch a movie?”
“Sure. Let’s do that.”
Ina went to the movie channel, searched for a new movie, and clicked on a recently released horror film.
“Oh, this is already out? Have you seen this?”
“No. I haven’t.”
“Then shall we watch this?”
“Sure.”
With an excited face, Ina went to the balcony, pulled down the blackout curtains.
“Why the curtains?”
“Because horror movies are more fun when watched in the dark.”
With an excited face, Ina returned to the sofa, turned on the movie again.
Soon, with eerie music, the movie started.
The close-up of the faces of a young man and woman wandering in the forest revealed both of them with pale faces.
The face of a man fed up with fear and the face of a woman who seemed to have resigned everything, her soul gone.
Contrasting the two faces, the movie flowed back to a few hours ago.
Watching the movie with an interested face for a while, Ina suddenly felt Juwon’s hand, which had been hugging her waist, loosening.
Turning her head, Ina looked at Juwon, who was leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed.
Ina lowered the volume on the remote control.
He said he couldn’t sleep at all last night… seems like that’s true.
Feeling guilty for causing the sleep disturbance, Ina stared at Juwon with a remorseful expression.
Quietly observing the sleeping Juwon, Ina gently turned off the TV.
Then, she delicately pressed her ear against Juwon’s chest.
The rhythmic sound of his strong heartbeat echoed from Juwon’s broad chest.
Listening to that powerful heartbeat, Ina somehow felt an illusion that her own heart was beating fast too.
Lifting her gaze again, Ina softly reached out and touched Juwon’s handsome nose.
Then, hesitating as if deciding, she gently approached Juwon’s lips with her lips.
After tasting those attractive lips for a moment, as she was about to pull away, Juwon suddenly pulled Ina’s waist, embracing her.
As surprised Ina’s eyes widened, Juwon slowly opened his eyes.
Then, with a languid smile on his lips, he said,
“If you’re going to do it, do it properly.”
Whispering, Juwon immediately embraced Ina, lifting her onto his lap.
Juwon, with eyes that seemed to ask when she fell asleep, pulled Ina towards him and sensuously kissed her lips.
Exploring Ina’s soft lips for a while, Juwon slipped his hand into Ina’s T-shirt.
Though Ina flinched for a moment at the warm touch, she soon relaxed and surrendered herself to Juwon’s touch.
Then, Ina, too, slipped her hand into Juwon’s sweater.
Determined not to engage in awkward skinship like last time, Ina stared at Juwon with a firm gaze.
“Jagiya.”
Whispering as he called her, Juwon responded with a subtle voice.
“Yeah?”
“Hurrah.”
As Ina whispered “Hurrah” into Juwon’s ear with a somewhat peculiar voice, Juwon chuckled.
After chanting “Hurrah” and raising both arms, Ina swiftly rolled up Juwon’s sweater like making an omelet.
Then, Ina, tossing the sweater toughly below the sofa, uncovered Juwon’s head.
Watching Ina, who was so cute, Juwon whispered to her.
“Ina, say ‘Hurrah’ too.”
Upon which, Ina promptly cheered, “Hurrah.”
Suppressing the laughter that was about to burst out, Juwon swiftly removed Ina’s T-shirt in one go.
Staring at Ina’s blushing face, Juwon gently caressed her cheek.
“Is your stomach really okay? No headache?”
“Yeah, I’m okay.”
Blushing, Ina nodded her head and replied.
Then, with a soft smile, Juwon placed his hand on Ina’s waist.
“Well, shall we go to bed then?”
Holding Ina, Juwon stood up in one breath.
With a flushed face, Juwon, kissing Ina’s lips as he put his hand on his neck, walked to the bedroom.
Opening the door and gently laying Ina down on the bed, Juwon gazed at Ina with an affectionate look.
Then, starting from Ina’s forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, to lips, Juwon gave her kisses one by one.
Ina, too, raised her hand, grabbed Juwon’s handsome face, and reciprocated with cute kisses.
Although it was a bright midday, the touch towards each other was as heated as a warm night in the afternoon at 3 o’clock.
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?”
