“It will operate again soon. They announced that they would turn off the power from 9 o’clock due to a safety inspection today, but it seems like due to an employee’s mistake, it got turned off much earlier.”
“Yes…”
Despite the man’s kind explanation, Ji Yeon was still scared and just sat there, unable to lift her head, looking at the floor and shaking.
“This place has thorough safety management, so there won’t be any accidents. Don’t worry.”
He said that while patting Ji Yeon’s shoulder.
Soon after, as soon as the elevator doors opened, Ji Yeon, feeling like she would collapse, nodded her head and ran to her car.
Once she got home, she regretted not having properly greeted him.
‘I need to properly greet him when I move. Thanks to him, I was less scared.’
[I’ve set a moving date. It’s next Saturday.] As soon as Ji Yeon sent the message, she received a call from Min Woo.Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
“What are you talking about?”
About moving.
“I told you when we met last month that I was going to move. When I leave, you can sell or keep the house, whatever you want. The house is in your name anyway.”
Where are you moving?
“Min Woo, I think you have a big misunderstanding. I’m not someone who needs to report every single thing to you anymore. Got it?”
That’s what Eun Ji Yeon said.
Unfamiliar and displeased, a frustrated expression naturally appeared on Min Woo’s face.
“Anyway, I’ll take all my stuff out in ten days, just so you know. If there’s anything we need to split, I’ll let you know.”
When is that day?
“That day? What day are you talking about?”
The day we meet once a month, like you asked. You need to tell me in advance so I can clear my schedule.
“Ah…”
Ji Yeon suddenly became blank.
‘That’s right. I did say that.’
Once a month, she insisted on meeting, but she hadn’t given it a second thought.
Starting a new job and looking for a new house to move into kept her so busy that this aspect was completely pushed to the back burner.
“That is… this Friday. Let’s have it at our house.”
Words that weren’t in the plan popped out of her mouth, as if she was taken aback.
Understood, I’ll come over after work on Friday.
Min Woo, who had just ended the call with Ji Yeon, stared at his phone for a moment.
Was Eun Ji Yeon’s voice always so highpitched?
The Ji Yeon that Min Woo remembered often spoke in a weak or small voice.
Dressing in clothes that seemed older than her age, tying her long hair tightly, always looking out for herself. That Eun Ji Yeon.
It was not too long ago when she was like that.
The day of the office dinner that the entire planning team had been waiting for had arrived.
Two Plus Hanwoo Barbecue Restaurant had a modern interior with lowered lighting, creating an atmosphere similar to that of a luxurious wine bar.
“Deputy, have we had a dinner party here before? This place is very expensive and it’s quite hard to make a reservation…”
Ji Yeon asked the deputy, Ju Yeon, in a low voice.
“Yes. We used to come here sometimes. The head manager said that someone he knew owns it.”
It seemed that the head manager had a wide network.
If it was money from the company’s dinner expenses, even Samgyupsal (Korean pork belly) would not be enough, let alone Two Horn Hanwoo.
People soon ordered delicious Hanwoo and a variety of alcoholic beverages and drinks, ate, drank, laughed, and chatted.
Ji Yeon, who hadn’t been in such an atmosphere for a long time, was so excited that she had already had a few glasses of wine.
‘Ah, it’s so much fun. I love this atmosphere.’
The work was fun, the people were kind and passionate, and the afterwork dinner was enjoyable, so for a moment, the stress that had been filling Ji Yeon’s mind until recently Min Woo, Se Ah’s thoughts completely disappeared.
It was then.
Deputy Ju Yeon and Deputy So Hee, who were sitting next to her, shouted in unison in a highpitched tone.
“Ah! The head manager is here! Head Manager!”
Everyone looked towards the entrance at the duet of Deputy Ju Yeon and Deputy So Hee.
Ji Yeon also turned her head to look, her eyes widening in surprise at the person entering.
‘I heard from Deputy Ju Yeon that he’s handsome, but I never imagined he’d be to this extent…’
A man who seemed like he should be on a runway in New York rather than at a company was striding towards their table.
His height, which looked well over 190 centimeters, and broad shoulders perfectly complemented his navy suit, and his welldefined features were so delicate that the word “beautiful” seemed to fit him.
However, his sharp and cold gaze emanated intense charisma, making him look handsome but difficult to approach.
“Welcome back, Head Manager!”
“We’ve missed you so much. Head Manager~ welcome back.”
“Are you staying for a while this time?”
People flocked to the Head Manager.
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?”
