“I haven’t even had proper physical contact with that scumbag.”
“Well…”
“I wanted to say this, just in case you misunderstood, Tae Joon.”
“……”
“You were my first and last man.”
At the sudden confession, his mind momentarily overloaded. While he sorted out his buffering thoughts, Seo Rin, perhaps embarrassed by her confession, quickly went into the bedroom.
Only when he saw the empty space in front of him did he realize what she had said.
The first and last man in her life.
It wasn’t a declaration of love, but it was a confession just as powerful.
“Ah, Seo Rin……”
She was a woman who really knew how to pick up and drop his heart. Going back and forth between heaven and hell at her every word was Tae Joon.
A moment later, he too went into the room to go to bed and lay down, but he couldn’t easily fall asleep.
The Seo Rin he remembered had the most beautiful body in the world.
A perfect body without an inch of space, as if tailored to him.
The thought of being the only man who possessed all of Seo Rin brought a strange excitement that made his whole body tingle.
Barely holding on, her confession today became a powerful fuse for him. He thought that if his body was exhausted, it would be a little less, but now it was Seo Rin who stimulated him with just a word.
He was willing to sell even his soul if he could hold her again.
But he knew it wasn’t. It wasn’t the right time yet.
All the initiative was with Seo Rin. Tae Joon intended to wait, even if it meant tearing his own flesh, until she was ready.
“Ah, damn it!”
In the end, he had to get up and take a cold shower.
He wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight either.
It was a night as long and painfully lonely as it could be.
The next afternoon, Seo Rin had just finished a meeting with her team members.
There had been a tragic accident, but fortunately, she recalled that Pharaoh was a bidding candidate and shared this fact with her team members, slightly changing the direction of today’s project.
Despite her exhausted body and depleted mental strength, it was quite a productive meeting.
However, Seo Rin couldn’t leave the meeting room even after the meeting was over.
“You were my first and last man.”
She had to say it, but once she did, her face became so hot that she couldn’t look at Tae Joon’s face. So, she ran away in the morning, only showing her back to him.
Apparently, it doesn’t suit her constitutionally to be devoted and loving to someone.
Judging by the fact that a few words made her feel so itchy and goosebumps crawling all over her body.
Thanks to that, she couldn’t sleep. Well, it’s not clear whether she couldn’t sleep because of her anger at Jo Min Hyung, or because of her embarrassing confession to Tae Joon.
Even so, one clear fact was that last night was very painful for her as well.
She felt as if she had a fever.
And her fingertips tingled.
That’s why she felt more tired today.
“Excuse me, Executive Director!”
While she was zoning out, Director Park suddenly burst in. He was looking down at her with a flushed expression.
“What’s the matter?”
“Well… I don’t know if it will help, but I found out where Jo Min Hyung is having dinner with Chairman Jo instead of cancelling his golf appointment today.”
Her mind snapped back to reality in an instant.
“Really? Where is it?”
“It’s a Japanese restaurant called ‘Hu’.”
Ah, indeed, heaven hadn’t forsaken her yet.
Seo Rin jumped up from her seat, left the meeting room, and gave instructions to Director Park.
“I’m leaving for the day. So, Director Park, you should also leave.”
“Huh? Why? Are you going to drive yourself?”
“Yes.”
“No! You’re going to where Jo Min Hyung and Chairman Jo are having dinner. So, I’m going too!”
In fact, Director Park had figured out her plan since she ordered him to find out about Jo Min Hyung and Chairman Jo’s golf appointment.
That she was trying to expose Jo Min Hyung’s misdeeds to Chairman Jo.
Of course, being of the same blood, the arm would bend inward, but Jo Min Hyung would bleed dry due to Chairman Jo’s personality. The problem was, there was no guarantee that sparks wouldn’t fly towards Seo Rin given Chairman Jo’s vigorous personality.
Therefore, Director Park thought he should be there even more.
If Chairman Jo came out as violently as Jo Min Hyung, Seo Rin would be defenseless, so he had to block it with his body. But if he told Seo Rin the truth, he would undoubtedly be left out.
So, Director Park chose another way.
“No, I want to watch! The most fun thing in the world is watching a fight! So, please take me with you!”
At his words, Seo Rin paused and looked back.
Seeing Director Park’s excited face, she couldn’t refuse.
So she replied.
“Fine. Follow me. It wouldn’t make sense not to have a spectator for such an interesting show.”
Japanese restaurant, Hu.
Min Hyung was on his way out after having dinner with his father, Chairman Jo. Instead of their regular Tuesday golf due to his injured hand, they had an early dinner together.
But even this moment was a bed of thorns for Min Hyung. Chairman Jo didn’t ask about his bruised hand and face, but he clicked his tongue instead.
He was truly the father who had given birth to him, but he was the most terrifying person in Min Hyung’s life, enough to be startled by a single cough. Of course, he was also the most respected and admired figure.
“Father, please take care.”
Could it be because he felt slightly intimidated? Chairman Jo, about to get into the car, looked back at him and casually threw a word.
“Man up! Don’t go around getting hit. If they ask for compensation, just pay them off, or beat them up instead!”
That was a typical comment from Chairman Jo. He couldn’t bear to see his child getting beaten even if he died.
“Yes! Yes! Of course, who do you think I am the son of!”
That’s right, who do you think I am, to go around getting beaten up!
At a casual comment from Chairman Jo, Min Hyung regained his confidence. But at that moment, Chairman Jo’s gaze turned a bit fierce. And those around him also looked surprised and turned their gaze behind Min Hyung.
Was there a ghost behind him?
Min Hyung slowly turned around. Then he too furrowed his eyebrows.
There was indeed something behind him. But it was not a ghost. The figure was too radiant to be called a ghost.
That woman with long hair, walking slowly not far away!
It was none other than, Baek Seo Rin.
A warning light flashed in his mind for a moment, but there was no way to avoid it. Seo Rin, who had approached like that, didn’t say anything.
Instead, she raised her long slender arm as if a butterfly was about to take off with elegant wingbeats.
Whack!
But just because her motion was graceful didn’t mean the pain was too.
Yes, Seo Rin slapped his face just like herself.
Flying like a butterfly, stinging like a bee!
“Bravooh!”
Smack smack smack!
From a distance, Director Park could be seen clapping loudly. That was natural, as Seo Rin’s slap was chillingly perfect.
A single blow, putting her weight on her slender arm! And Min Hyung’s face, which had turned more than 90 degrees due to the shock!
Who knew violence could be so artistically sublimated!
Director Park continued to shout “bravo” while clapping his hands until they were about to break.
The one who ended this grim situation was Chairman Jo’s disapproval.
“What the hell is this!”
Chairman Jo’s flushed face seemed to express his anger. But without turning her gaze, Seo Rin delivered the final blow in a more impactful voice than ever,
“Your trashy actions……”
“……”
“Should I tell you, or do you want to say it yourself?”
It was a particularly Seo Rinlike, extraordinary final blow.

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?”
