“And Jintaeyeon, you’ve never been a part of our family, not even once.”
It was a cruel statement, but it was also the truth.
“You weren’t interested even though Cheonsin Yoo’s investment was hindered because you weren’t a real family with blood ties, right?”
While hearing the sarcastic tone, Taeyeon kept her eyes closed for a while. She was too shocked to even shed tears. Her heart had lost its rhythm and had started its erratic beats long ago.
The only fortunate thing in this situation was that Taejin, an impatient person, was silently watching until I spoke.
Taeyeon, who was taking deep breaths, finally regained her composure with difficulty.
“Why are you telling me this story?”
“I’m going to start threatening you from now on.”
“What?”
“I hated seeing you live happily as if you owned the world.”
“……. ”
Watching Taejin say such tremendous words so casually, Taeyeon was at a loss for words.
“What if Chadojun finds out about this? Aren’t you curious about his reaction?”
“Sister, sigh.”
Taeyeon let out a short breath.
“Mr. Dojun has nothing to do with this.”
“Why. Still, he’s family. You should tell everything without hiding anything.”
Taeyeon bit her lip.
She should have told the decision to divorce as soon as she arrived here. No, if she had, she might still be putting in all her effort to not disturb the feelings of Jindongpil CEO and Hyesook, who were not her real parents.
Finding out the fact she didn’t know now might be a good thing or not, so she felt too confused.
“Now he’s not family with that man.”
“What?”
“I’m going to divorce Dojun.”
“……. ”
This time, it was Taejin who was surprised. Without a word, Taejin just stared at Taeyeon.
Taeyeon slowly raised her head again and fixed her gaze on Taejin, who was staring at her.
“Didn’t you hear me? I’m getting a divorce.”
“Hahaha. Hey, you should have decided that sooner.”
Taejin laughed genuinely this time.
“If you had, Chadojun wouldn’t have suffered like this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Just whatever. Anyway, you told Chadojun, right?”
“I was going to submit the divorce papers when I got home today.”
“You haven’t done it yet?”
Taejin’s sharp voice pierced Taeyeon’s eardrums.
“If Chadojun doesn’t let you go.”
This time, Taeyeon raised only one corner of her mouth.
“I have to persuade him.”
“Sure, you shouldn’t change your mind about that.”
Taejin took out a tablet PC from her bag and placed it on the table.
Wondering what story she was going to tell this time, Taeyeon slowly lowered her gaze.
“……. ”
Looking at the familiar figure on the tablet PC, Taeyeon ultimately failed to manage her expression.
“It’s Dojun.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Although the woman’s face didn’t show properly in the photo, the picture Taejin showed was a perfect image to be misunderstood.
A woman pouring down into Dojun’s arms.
And Dojun holding onto that woman’s arm.
It was an all-too-familiar lobby.
Taeyeon spoke, carefully smoothing out her trembling voice, “Why is this?”
“If you resist divorce this time, I was planning to tarnish Chadojun’s reputation.”
“What?”
Taeyeon looked down at the photo again.
It was too clear what Taejin wanted.
“What would the public think if this photo is released?”
“……. ”
“You can manipulate several photos like this.”
Taeyeon clenched the fist on her knee tightly.
“KK Group’s heir had an affair behind his wife’s back. If that rumor spreads, Chadojun will suffer quite a bit.”
It was unbelievable how far Taejin was going for this.
A smirk escaped Taeyeon’s lips.
“Chairman Cha will find it difficult to designate Chadojun as the heir if he gets caught up in a scandal.”
Taeyeon looked at Taejin again with calm eyes.
“Sister, what do you gain by going this far?”
“Well, I gain a lot. Instead of worrying about me, worry about losing one thing at a time from now on.”
Taejin put the tablet PC and the genetic test report back into her bag.
“If Dad contacts you, answer him. Oh, of course, he’s not your real father, but still, you should show some gratitude for raising you, right?”
Taejin got up from her seat with a satisfied look on her face.
“I’m not very patient, you know. Dad also hopes you’ll get a divorce as soon as possible, so don’t procrastinate, submit the documents.”
Taeyeon didn’t respond. Well, did I have anything left to say?
“Younger sister, congratulations on the divorce in advance.”
Taejin left the bar first after leaving these encouraging words.
Taeyeon looked at the table with a helpless gaze and heard a soft sigh – the sound of deflating air.
What had I been living for?
In the end, I could only move within the picture drawn by CEO Jindongpil and Taejin.
The past self, who struggled to find a bit of happiness within that, now seemed so ridiculous.
In fact, two conflicting feelings coexisted before I came to meet Taejin today.
Should I organize my thoughts during the two weeks away from Dojun and then submit the divorce papers afterward?
Can I endure two weeks without him and slowly contemplate it?
But now.
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?”
