‘If your grandmother is silent and your grandfather is easily stepping back, something is strange.’
In the midst of frustrating thoughts as annoying as the hot weather, he had unconsciously arrived in front of Seokgu’s house.
He roughly parked the car against the tall wall, but the heavy gate opened.
Seokgu’s two housekeepers came out, shaking their heads in surprise at the sight of Kwon Yul.
“Hello.”
The two exchanged surprised and bewildered glances when they saw Kwon Yul.
“Could you please open the door now?”
“Uh, right now…”
Seeing that their hesitant actions looked suspicious, Kwon Yul politely spoke again.
“Just open the door, please.”
One of them, glancing around, brought out a key she had and gently opened the door.
“Don’t say we opened it for you.”
Kwon Yul bowed slightly and quickly entered through the gate.
His pulse, clenched with a fistful of anger, pounded loudly as he was convinced that there was something.
‘The fact that Jinbora is quiet and my grandfather is easily backing off is strange.’
As he walked through the picturesque garden and opened the front door, he heard a loud scream.
“What the hell are you doing coming into this house!”
The only person who could say such a thing was Yeonhee.
“You’re even using my son to threaten me to move.”
“……. ”
“Not knowing you’re dating an unworthy woman. Resolve it before I have to step in!”
As Seokgu spoke as if talking to the air, Yeonhee remained silent without making a sound.
Then, as if mocking, the sound of Seokgu’s tongue clattering poured out like a dagger.
Kwon Yul, still with his shoes on, stood in place and listened carefully to Seokgu’s forced words.
“You not only made my husband sit down, but now you’re trying to ruin my wonderful son?”
“Absolutely not, Father.”
After pouring out all his resentment toward Yeonhee, Seokgu suddenly changed his posture.
“In that case, show me your sincerity. Make Yul able to marry Bora. Then, believe whatever you say from now on.”
“If Yul dislikes her so much, how can I force him to marry Bora? Besides, it’s because of the person he’s meeting right now…”
“Meeting someone? Haha. Fine. The day after tomorrow, he says he’ll allow a thirty-year-old woman!”
“It’s only been a short time since we started dating. If I wrongly intervene, it will only have the opposite effect…”
Yeonhee’s words were unheard as Seokgu’s thunderous shout drowned everything out.
“How on earth did he know about Seoyeon’s existence?
The only person that comes to mind right now is Sehee. But Sehee wasn’t the type to act recklessly.
No matter how much I think about it, there was no one who knew about Seoyeon’s existence.
“Backfire? It would be refreshing to see you with a daughter-in-law who is worse than you!”
Seokgu’s changed appearance was perplexing, but I felt there was something to grasp this time. However, he was tormenting Yeonhee by summoning her to the house.
Kwonyul felt resentful of his own complacency.
As unbearable regret flooded in, his feet moved involuntarily.
The living room, decorated like an oriental painting, was truly a spectacle.
Mrs. Kim sat on an expensive sofa, crossing her legs, and toyed with her manicured nails, smirking.
In addition, Yeonhee, hunched over as if she were willing to become a scapegoat, and Seokgu, spewing anger from his mouth.
“Mom.”
With Kwonyul’s sudden appearance, the three heads turned simultaneously.
“Yul!”
Yeonhee, surprised, raised her face, and her eye area was tinged with red.
Kwonyul approached Yeonhee without saying a word.
Then, he gently embraced Yeonhee and lifted her up.
“Mom, please stop getting up.”
“Yul, you see… that…”
“I’m sorry every time because of me.”
Kwonyul held Yeonhee’s bag in one hand and her hand in the other.
“We’ll talk about it when we get home.”
Kwonyul whispered to Yeonhee, who was conscious of Seokgu.
“You have to go right away. I’ll talk to Grandfather and then come.”
Kwonyul, who kept turning Yeonhee’s body, which kept looking at Seokgu, escorted her to the entrance.
“Don’t worry too much.”
“Yul, I’m sorry.”
“No, don’t be sorry at all. You know I love you, right?”
Kwonyul’s body trembled violently like a person swept away by a huge wave, but he didn’t show it. He just forced a smile and looked down at Yeonhee’s eyes, full of words.
He wanted to get her out of this annoying place as soon as possible.
“Yul, even if you’re angry, you must show respect to Grandfather.”
Even when ignored like that, Yeonhee didn’t forget her last plea.
Click―.
When the door closed, Kwonyul turned around after washing his face.
Stepping briskly while suppressing the violently surging emotions.
“Mrs. Kim, please move.”
With Kwonyul’s indifferent gaze, Mrs. Kim quietly got up and went upstairs.
Sitting on Seokgu’s right as usual, Kwonyul organized his thoughts for a moment.
There was no need for long explanations.
The person who revealed Seoyeon’s existence. And how to handle it if Seokgu harassed Seoyeon. Just two things.
“Grandfather.”
Seokgu’s sharp gaze pierced Kwonyul, but he didn’t flinch at all.
“Where did you hear about Ms. Seoyeon?”
“Bora came to visit during the day.”
The moment Bora’s name came up, there was nothing more to hear.
The shadowy Bora following him sent shivers down his spine now.
Why go to such lengths for someone who dislikes it so much?
While listening to Seokgu’s overwhelming words, Kwonyul had only one thought.
Responsibility.
Seoyeon shouldn’t be treated like this by Seokgu. Kwonyul wanted to protect Seoyeon, to somehow ensure her safety and take responsibility. That was the natural obligation to someone he loved.
“Grandfather.”
“Yul. No matter what happens, that woman can’t be the one. What can you do with a woman seven years older?”
Kwonyul looked calmly at Seokgu, who adamantly declared impossibility.
“I took responsible actions toward Ms. Seoyeon. So, you must take responsibility.”
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?”
