“How does your face turn red so quickly? That’s fascinating.”
Kang Hyun chuckled as he watched Yoon’s face turn red. He put on the robe that had fallen to the floor and brought out a large towel from inside.
“Wipe yourself off first.”
Handing her the towel, Kang Hyun coughed awkwardly as he looked at her.
Yoon, who was dressed in a thin tshirt and shorts, had her clothes clinging to her body due to being wet, revealing the curves of her body.
Feeling Kang Hyun’s gaze, Yoon quickly wrapped the towel around herself. She then swayed a bit, as if feeling dizzy.
“We should rest a bit before taking a shower.”
Kang Hyun seated her on the day bed located on the balcony. Then, he flopped down next to her.
As Yoon gasped in surprise, Kang Hyun opened his mouth with a smug expression.
“I also got tired from saving you, you know. Rescuing someone who has fallen into water isn’t an easy task. So let’s rest together.”
Although Yoon couldn’t understand why Kang Hyun had to sit right next to her when there was plenty of space, she was too exhausted to argue and just kept her mouth shut.
“You should learn to swim. Who will save you if you fall into the water when I’m not around?”
Yoon’s complexion turned pale, perhaps she was quite scared.
“Later. ……Hic!”
But then, Yoon suddenly started hiccupping. Watching her, Kang Hyun got up and went inside.
“Drink this.”
Kang Hyun, who brought out water, handed it to her.
“Thank you.”
As Yoon took the cup, she lifted her hips and moved slightly to the side. However, as if he couldn’t help it, Kang Hyun moved closer again.
“After clinging onto me so tightly earlier, are you now shying away? Can’t you see my neck here?”
Looking at him, Kang Hyun’s neck had indeed turned red. However, Kang Hyun’s grumbling face looked oddly pleased.
“Why are you joking like this? Hic!”
Yoon looked at him sidelong, finding his face, marked with a mischievous smile, irritating.
“I’m just speechless because you keep being so squeamish.”
“It’s because you keep saying strange things… Hic!”
Yoon stuttered, and then hiccupped again.
“Alright, don’t worry. I’m not considering anything serious with you either. Rest a bit and then take a quick shower. Don’t catch a cold and suffer.”
Kang Hyun stood up from his seat.
“Yes. Hic!”
Yoon continued to hiccup. Just then, Kang Hyun, who was about to leave, suddenly turned around and thrust his face close to hers.
“Ack! …Hic!”
“Even though they say getting surprised can stop hiccups, it doesn’t seem to work.”
Kang Hyun looked at her and winked again.
‘Gulp.’
Yoon was astounded by his unfamiliar behavior. Kang Hyun winking was more terrifying than anything else.
“Quite a shock.”
Kang Hyun laughed and went into the bathroom.
“Do I need to rewrite the contract? Hic!”
Yoon continued to hiccup while watching his retreating back.
Meanwhile, Kang Hyun, who had entered the bathroom, thought of Yoon hiccupping and chuckled.
“She does have a cute side. I bet she was popular with the guys.”
Then he remembered Yoon getting annoyed saying she had been in a relationship.
“You’ve been in a relationship? But that guy just left you alone? Really, me! What am I lacking? You dating some idiot. So naive, tsk!”
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?”
