“I thought you would naturally help.”
“What exactly… should I assist you with?”
Do Jun’s mouth dried up as he didn’t know what to say next. Eventually, he opened his mouth.
“First of all, we need to fix your nervousness when I approach.”
It made sense, but it was impossible to adapt in a day. Tae Yeon, who had been silent, stared at Do Jun with wideopen eyes.
He was so tall that she had to lift her head quite a bit to make eye contact and speak with him.
“Of course I’m nervous. My husband, who has been away for a year and a half, fell from the sky today.”
“Would you have been ready if I had contacted you before coming?”
“Well…… At least my heart wouldn’t be racing like this.”
Having said that, Tae Yeon regretted it. It was awkward being alone with Do Jun, but her heart was pounding for no reason while looking at his astonishingly handsome face.
She definitely wasn’t attracted to him. It was just this unexpected situation that was too surprising. She was worried about the tumultuous events that would start tomorrow.
That was all.
But saying her heart was pounding was easily misunderstood. Tae Yeon tried to correct her statement, but she had to close her mouth immediately.
Do Jun took one step closer, raising the corners of his mouth as if amused.
“Your heart is pounding. Can I take it that it’s because of me?”
“…….”
“Even if this is a marriage of convenience, it seems I’m at least to your taste.”
“That’s not what I meant. Today is too chaotic, there’s no preparation, so…….”
As she spoke, she blurted out nonsense and was on the verge of madness. She had never felt so inarticulate in her life.
With Do Jun’s intimidating face in front of her, she was constantly behaving out of character.
Do Jun found such Tae Yeon cute and his gaze was softer than before.
“Do you not get nervous in front of the man you love?”
“Pardon?”
What a random comment.
Was it because they hadn’t seen each other for so long that their conversation wasn’t going smoothly? Or was it just Do Jun’s style of conversation? She didn’t know.
Before Do Jun left for the KK Entertainment branch in America, their wedding was rushed.
So, they took wedding photos for the press, registered their marriage, and had a meal with the elders of the family, and that was it.
On the day of the wedding photoshoot, she saw Do Jun for the first time, but it didn’t matter.
At least at that time, it didn’t. She didn’t plan to live with Do Jun in the same house.
Do Jun asked again.
“I’m very curious about the expression you’d have when you’re with that man.”
“Do Jun.”
“Tell me.”
“I don’t understand why you keep bringing up whether there’s another man.”
Do Jun looked down at Tae Yeon with an arrogant expression, as if urging her to continue.
“I haven’t done anything that would harm you, Do Jun.”
“Harm……”
Do Jun lifted his hand and rested it on his chin. His face looked like he had a lot to say, but different words came out of his mouth.
“I hope it stays that way.”
Do Jun took another step closer, narrowing the distance. When Tae Yeon tried to step back, he caught her shoulder with his large hand.
“I wish you didn’t avoid me like this.”
“……I’ll try. In return, please refrain from unexpected touches like this, Do Jun.”
Without a word, Do Jun quickly removed his hand from Tae Yeon’s shoulder. Then, he loosened his tie.
“I’ll use the bathroom attached to the master bedroom.”
“Okay.”
Do Jun entered the bedroom first, using his long legs. Tae Yeon sighed deeply as she watched the door close quietly.
Even at home, she couldn’t let go of her tension.
“I guess we’ll share the bed too?”
She felt dizzy. She had thought about getting a separate house and moving out, but knowing that Do Jun wouldn’t allow it, she gave up.
Tae Yeon showered in the guest bathroom upstairs so that Do Jun could get dressed comfortably after his shower. Thinking about going straight to the bedroom, Tae Yeon moved to the living room sofa.
She was extremely tired from being tense all day, but she couldn’t just go to the bedroom and lie down on the bed.
She leaned against the soft sofa and slowly closed her eyes.
“You can do it…… That’s what will happen.”
((()))((()))((()))
Do Jun walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Hot water streamed smoothly down his welldefined muscles.
“I should have contacted you before coming.”
At first, he saw no need to tell Tae Yeon he was returning to Korea.
She was probably happily laughing with some other guy, not even thinking about him.
He had some desire to shatter that happy daily life and was curious about what she was hiding from him, so he purposely did not contact her and came to Korea.
“You really are a woman with many charms.”
Every time he saw her, she had a different atmosphere. The woman he encountered on the wedding shoot day was very docile, but today she looked very confident, saying everything she had to say in front of him.
And the woman in the photos received from the man of mystery. She was incredibly sexy.
Could a person really change so much depending on the situation?
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?”
