Yeonwoo, who had revealed his identity to Choa, was initially bewildered but felt much lighter after letting it out.
He decided to lend a helping hand and support his newly made same-sex friend in her love affair.
At the end of the training. Yeonwoo, accompanied by Su-a, went to the barracks of Biyeong.
“You just need to take care of this child for half an hour, right?”
“Yes. That’s correct. I hope it didn’t bother you while working.”
“I’ve finished urgent tasks, and today is a night duty anyway, so it’s okay.”
“I’m truly grateful because Oraboni is here.”
Yeonwoo sighed with relief.
To resolve the misunderstanding between Dae-bok and Choa, they needed to be alone together, and if that was the case, someone had to take care of Su-a.
If it were Biyeong, it seemed okay to trust and leave Sua with him.
Next, Biyeong extended a bottle of plum wine to Yeonwoo and asked, “Is this the plum wine you requested?”
“Yes, that’s correct. It’s the same one we drank last time, right?”
“Right. But, you’re planning to drink again? Didn’t you get into trouble the last time you drank?”
Biyeong’s voice expressed concern, as Yeonwoo seemed to be gradually turning into a drinker.
“Oh, there’s someone else who will be drinking.”
“Someone else will be drinking?”
In response to Biyeong’s puzzled reaction, Yeonwoo whispered secretly, “Do you remember what I told you about Dae-bok and Choa Agassi?”
“Yeah. This soldier Lee Dae-bok mentioned liking a woman named Jung Choa. That woman is the new woman who joined Gwangho-gun’s unit.”
“Yes. I’m going to connect those two with this liquor.”
Yeonwoo shook the bottle of alcohol.
“It’s commonly known as the elixir of love.”
“The elixir of love?”
Biyeong’s heart became even more uneasy at the unfamiliar words.
He didn’t know exactly what Yeonwoo intended to do with that liquor, but anyway, Yeonwoo was going to drink it.
As someone who knew Yeonwoo’s drinking capacity, Biyeong was worried.
“Don’t drink until you’re drunk. Won’t it be dangerous on the way back home?”
“Don’t worry. Gwangho-gun-nari said he would take me.”
When the topic of Geon came up, a bitterness arose in Biyeong’s heart.
Since learning about the cohabitation of the two, an unprecedented sense of anxiety had crept into Biyeong’s heart.
Geon’s gaze at Yeonwoo was not the typical gaze of a male subordinate looking at a superior.
Could it be that Geon noticed Yeonwoo’s true identity? Did Yeonwoo confess his true identity to Gwangho-gun?
A disturbing feeling lingered in Biyeong’s chest.
Above all, what made Biyeong most uneasy was something else.
Geon’s gaze at Yeonwoo was unusual. Biyeong didn’t care much about that.
The crucial fact was how Yeonwoo felt about Geon.
As someone who had known her for a long time, Biyeong could pick up on subtle changes in Yeonwoo.
Yeonwoo’s gaze at Geon was not that of an ordinary man looking at a subordinate.
Through that gaze, Biyeong sensed that Yeonwoo had more than ordinary emotions for Geon. However, he thought it might just be a fleeting and light emotion.
But if the two were to live together, the situation would be different.
Even a tiny spark, given the right trigger, could spread uncontrollably in an instant.
The more time Yeonwoo and Geon spent together, the more the spark would spread.
So, the news of the two living together could not be hidden from Biyeong.
Unable to easily reveal such feelings, Biyeong exchanged his anxious gaze with a worried one.
“…Well, if that’s the case, it’s a relief, but I’m worried. You’re already weak with alcohol, and I’m concerned that you might get into trouble. Promise me you won’t drink too much.”
“Yes, I’ll promise.”
Without realizing Biyeong’s hesitation, Yeonwoo smiled widely and extended his little finger.
Biyeong, with a bitter smile, hooked his finger with Yeonwoo’s.
Yeonwoo, holding a bottle of plum wine, left Gwangho-gun’s unit.
Then, she went to find Dae-bok and Choa, who were waiting for her.
The chosen location was a place slightly away from Gwangho-gun’s unit, a habitat for plate flowers with lush and vibrant colors that exceeded Yeonwoo’s height.
Various colors such as crimson, pale pink, and white bloomed, displaying a splendid appearance.
The plate flower habitat seemed like a suitable place chosen by Yeonwoo, creating a good atmosphere to connect Dae-bok and Choa.
As they reached the promised location, Dae-bok and Choa standing awkwardly caught Yeonwoo’s eyes.
As if Yeonwoo were a savior who would rescue them from this awkward situation, the two stared at Yeonwoo with earnest eyes.
Hastily starting preparations, Yeonwoo laid out a mat in a scenic spot, and arranged the bottle and cups for drinks.
Seeing this, Dae-bok, wearing a perplexed expression, asked, “Hey, why did you suddenly ask us to come here? And what’s this liquor?”
“Scenic view, fragrant liquor. Wouldn’t it be a perfect atmosphere for sincerity between a man and a woman?”
Yeonwoo replied to Dae-bok, shook the bottle of alcohol, and then tapped his elbow on the bottom.
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?”
