“Did you have a hard time making it today? Today, I burned it while cooking various things together. Today, I tried adding more garlic, how’s the taste? Hasn’t my cooking skills improved a lot recently? You’re the one who said such things. And then you would say that since you worked hard, you would buy something, and then you’d go to the department store and spend hundreds.”
Those were the things Se Ah had said while serving the food as if she had made it herself.
At Min Woo’s mocking words, Se Ah’s face turned bright red.
“What’s so wrong about calling someone to cook some food? Why are you treating someone like this?”
At first, Se Ah seemed flustered, her eyes wide open, but soon she began to raise her voice.
“What illegal act have I committed? You wanted delicious food, right? Why should I be the one to make it? What does it matter who made it? You would have asked for more if you hadn’t seen this today!”
As she spoke, Se Ah seemed to become angrier and sharply rebuked him.
“Are you angry because I hired someone? Or are you angry because you’ve been deceived by me all this time? I wonder why I told you to learn cooking! I thought it was the easiest thing to do well, just to score points with my father!”
“I clearly said I was not good at it. I’m not particularly skilled, what can I do? And you said I should learn cooking for your father? Don’t make me laugh! You ate the food I made every day, tasting it as if you were evaluating it! I tried to do it myself at first too! But every time I did, you criticized and didn’t even eat it, throwing it away. Complaining about why I couldn’t get the taste right. Am I here to cook for you? Is that why you brought me here?”
“Ji Yeon did everything herself! She worked, cleaned the house, did everything else, and she did it well!”
After Min Woo said this, he regretted it. He had spoken out of turn in his excitement.
‘Why did I provoke my temper like that…….’
Hearing his words, Se Ah started to shed tears and finally began to sob loudly.
“How dare you mention that woman’s name here? How could you! If that woman did everything, should I also do everything? Is that woman a fool for doing everything?”
It was unfair.
She had tried to do it herself for the first few times. She had made an effort.
However, even when she tried to cook as the chef had taught her, she couldn’t get the taste right.
Above all, it was very difficult to satisfy Min Woo’s picky palate.
For a few days, Min Woo showed his displeasure in various ways, refusing to eat the food that Se Ah had prepared.
When she secretly placed food made by someone else among the dishes she had made, Min Woo only ate that.
On top of that, her delicate hands were ruined from all the cooking, and her beautifully caredfor nails were all broken.
Hiring help was the answer to make everyone happy.
‘He wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t caught me today. Did I come to this house to cook? Then why did you abandon Eun Ji Yeon, who cooks well and matches your tastes? You could have her do the housework while you cherish her for a lifetime.’
It seemed ridiculous to her that he was so angry about her hiring professional help for a bit of money.
She was already feeling depressed because there was nothing pleasant between her and Min Woo lately, and this incident made her feel even worse.
She made no effort for the baby that Se Ah so desperately wanted, and sometimes, because of Min Woo’s issues, she couldn’t even set the right mood.
Whenever Se Ah whined a bit, he would turn his back, complaining that he was tired.
He used to torment Se Ah until dawn, far from satisfying her, but now, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
Both Min Woo and Se Ah. It was a series of moments that made them both angry.

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?”
