The diverse sauces and dressings, catering to passengers from various countries, allowed Se-hee to choose a familiar one.
The salmon seemed to melt in her mouth.
The moist scrambled eggs and well-cooked sausage also offered an unexpectedly delightful taste.
After all, the food was prepared by the renowned Evans Hotel business.
Satisfied with her meal, Se-hee decided to finish with a cup of coffee.
Steam rose as the coffee dripped into a clean cup, releasing a deep and rich aroma.
“British ship, British coffee? Even the aroma is refined.”
Carefully sipping the hot coffee, Se-hee felt the rich aroma spread to her heart.
A slice of heaven on earth.
Holding her coffee, Se-hee walked to a terrace with a beautiful view of the sea.
The sky and sea were a deep blue, the cool sea breeze adding to the refreshing atmosphere.
The joyful sounds of guests swimming in the spacious ship’s pool carried over on the wind.
Se-hee’s gaze naturally followed the sounds.
The Dekona had pools on each deck, especially on the main deck, where two large pools were always bustling.
In the end, even the last buffet restaurant couldn’t escape Kyle’s scrutiny.
Back in her cabin, Se-hee took out the swimsuits she had prepared.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
She had specially prepared these bikinis to wear on different days, styles that she would never dare to try in Korea.
Though she chose them thinking they were more conservative than what she had seen models wearing in cruise ship pool introductions, now taking them out, she still felt hesitant to wear them.
After a moment of contemplation, Se-hee finally made a decision.
She had prepared these daring outfits especially for this unique place and decided to be bold.
The fashion she had previously scanned at the pool mostly consisted of women in bikinis.
She chose a white bikini that perfectly matched the blue of the Mediterranean Sea.
A 1,000% bold swimsuit choice that the original Se-hee would never have imagined wearing.
After changing into the bikini, Se-hee stood in front of the mirror.
She looked incredibly shy in the mirror’s reflection.
No, it’s time for a change.
Courage! Courage! Courage!
After chanting to herself like a spell, Se-hee began to hypnotize herself.
This body is definitely worth showing off.
No, it’s nearly perfect.
With that forced mindset, she lightly donned some beachwear and left the cabin.
Se-hee arrived at the ship’s pool with brisk steps and quickly changed into her bikini before the hypnosis could wear off.
Okay, stand tall and proud…
Just then, a foreign woman in a daring bikini, flaunting her curvaceous body, walked past Se-hee.
Instantly, Se-hee’s confidence deflated.
Feeling somewhat inferior to the other women at the pool, the self-hypnosis she had forced upon herself shattered.
“Come on, gather your courage, Se-hee.”
She mentally prepared herself again.
After re-hypnotizing herself, Se-hee walked powerfully towards the pool.
But the real challenge was elsewhere.
The pool had a depth of 3 meters.
Although she knew the cruise ship was large, she had thought the pool on board wouldn’t be deep, but she was mistaken.
As Se-hee couldn’t swim, she would have to wear a life jacket to enter the pool.
Imagining herself in a life jacket, covering her bikini-clad body, she could only laugh.
The tubes, her backup plan, were already fully rented out.
What about the water slide?
There was already a long line.
Fine, there’s plenty of time now.
I can wait as long as it takes.
But shouldn’t I at least dip in the water first?
While waiting for the water slide line to shorten, Se-hee contented herself with dipping her legs in the pool, splashing around.
Sitting there, looking at the sea, she felt content.
It was a moment of natural healing.
As she sat there, looking at the Mediterranean with a happy smile, a loud laugh and a heavy push on her shoulder sent her tumbling into the pool.
Losing her balance from the force, Se-hee fell into the pool.
Caught off guard and plunging into the pool, Se-hee began to flail in the water, unable to scream.
It all happened in an instant.
A foreign woman playing ball behind Se-hee had accidentally bumped into her, pushing her into the pool.
Unable to swim, Se-hee struggled frantically, but her body, paralyzed with fear, began to sink.
Trapped underwater, she started to run out of breath.
The pressure of the water and the silence underwater escalated Se-hee’s terror to its peak.
Her fear paralyzed her limbs, rendering her unable to move.
The word ‘death’ vividly flashed through Se-hee’s mind.
No, not like this.
Not such a futile death.
Memories of her past life flashed rapidly like a panorama.
It felt too unfair to end her life like this.
I don’t want to die… I want to live.
No, I must live.
Desperately clinging to life, she struggled once more, but her body felt even heavier than before.
Unable to hold her breath any longer, she reached her limit, and her consciousness began to fade.
Large bubbles of air burst from her mouth as if signaling her last breath.
At that moment, someone swiftly pulled Se-hee up to the surface.
Exposed to the air, she gasped for breath she had so desperately held back.
It seemed as if her will to live was not rejected by fate.
Breathing heavily, Se-hee felt an immense gratitude towards the person who saved her life.
Regaining her breath, Se-hee lifted her head with a voice full of emotion to look at her savior.
“……Haah. Haah…… Tha…”
However, before Se-hee could finish, a sharp male voice painfully pierced her ears.
“Do you think life jackets are just decorations?”
His harsh words were like repeated blows to the back of Se-hee’s head, especially shocking as she was still disoriented from her near-death experience.
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?”
