The next day.
Eunha, who woke up early in the morning, underwent various examinations led by a nurse and returned to her hospital room only around noon.
Thud.
Closing the door, Eunha sat in front of the laptop that was visible in the room.
“Uh, Hunter. Can I ask for your autograph?”
After finishing the examination and returning to the room, on the way, a nurse suddenly handed Eunha paper and a pen.
“Oh, can I ask for one too?”
“Well, then, me too…”
Not only the colleagues who were nearby nurses but also the doctor who had taken charge of Eunha’s examination, not to mention other patients waiting outside, approached Eunha one by one. Some asked for a photo or a handshake.
It wasn’t just friendly gazes; there were also those who looked at Eunha with disdain.
“…Why all of a sudden?”
Eunha couldn’t hide her confusion.
It felt like waking up and suddenly becoming famous overnight, an unbelievable sensation.
And she soon found out why.
“Sister, did you really duel with the Great Sage? Wow! So cool!”
As Eunha passed through the hospital corridor, a little kid passing by looked at Eunha with shining eyes. The woman who seemed to be the child’s guardian tried to cover the child’s mouth, but it was already too late.
People passing by one by one began to observe Eunha with curious glances.
“Duel with the Great Sage? Who?”
“Oh, come on. Really?”
Murmurs.
Hastily, Eunha left that place.
Turning on the laptop, waiting for it to boot up, Eunha sat with a serious expression, resting her chin on her hand. It was true that she had dueled with Jecheon Daeseong, but it was strange that people knew about it.
“Were there witnesses?”
At that time, there were only Jehwi, his younger sister Jerim, and the Immortal guild members present. Except for them, at most…
“No way.”
Eunha’s gaze changed.
Could it be that the police officers who were there spread the rumor?
“…….”
Tap, tap.
Tapping the keyboard, after a short while, Eunha found an internet article featured on the main page of a portal site.
[Korea Hunter Association, Busan Jagalchi Market Unknown Gate? Baseless Rumors] [Busan Jagalchi Market, who is the real ‘subjugator’?] [Immortal Jecheon Daeseong refuses press conference. Growing suspicions.] [‘I saw the Hunter in the black dress’ continues with witness testimonies. Who is she?] [Immortal’s side threatens a strong response to ‘baseless rumors.’]Eunha, scrolling down with the mouse wheel, suddenly stopped her movement.
Knock, knock.
Then, “Hunter-nim, may I come in?” Jehwi’s voice followed.
“Hunter-nim, is it okay for you to wake up already?”
“Yes. I received morning examinations and just returned.”
Closing the laptop gently, Eunha replied.
“As for the results… How are you, are you okay?”
“Yes. It seems fine. More importantly, Manager-nim’s younger sister, how is she?”
“Ah, thanks to you, there are no problems at all. She decided to live with me in Seoul for the time being, and she even found a new part-time job in Seoul since last week.”
“That’s a relief.”
Eunha responds succinctly.
On the other hand, Jehwi was glancing around like an uncomfortable person. Fumbling with his pocket, he opened his mouth cautiously as if he had made up his mind.
“Uh, Hunter-nim. Actually…”
He handed something over. Eunha lowered her dark gaze smoothly.
On his white palm, messily finished, was Eunha’s Wish Bracelet.
No, looking closely, it wasn’t. It was a newly made one that closely resembled Eunha’s Wish Bracelet.
“I tried to give you the same bracelet as a gift, but no matter how much I searched all over Seoul, I couldn’t find the same design bracelet at all.”
“…….”
“S-so I asked the representative for advice, and he suggested trying to make it ourselves. Fortunately, the representative remembers the color and pattern of your Hunter bracelet exactly.”
Eunha stared at the Wish Bracelet for a long time.
Numerous emotions faintly passed through her jet-black eyes.
“…Y-yes, compared to the original, the completion is lacking a lot, right?”
As Jehwi, who was about to put away the Wish Bracelet, Eunha quickly snatched it away.
“No.”
In my hand was the shabbily finished Wish Bracelet.
As Eunha gently held the bracelet, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
“…Thank you.”
“Ah.”
Jehwi let out a low groan.
He smiled.
It disappeared like smoke, but Jehwi was certain. He just saw her ‘real’ smiling face.
“Manager-nim.”
“Y-yes?”
“Could you call Shin Siwoo for me?”
“Th-the representative?”
“Yes.”
Eunha nodded.
With a determined look in her eyes, Eunha, holding the Wish Bracelet gently, slowly raised her head.
“I have something to tell him.”
Seoul S Hospital Special Ward Top Floor.
The hands that were trimming the orchids on the makeshift table attached to the bed suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on? Meeting a sick person can’t be such a pleasant thing.”
Gwihoon, the owner of the wolf and once called the strongest hunter in South Korea, looked toward the door with eyes that were no different from those of the dead.
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?”
