“Oppa, do you know how much humiliation I went through today? Sniff…”
Na Song-woon looked at Song Kang with tears streaming down her face. Song Kang’s expression stiffened. Cha Hae-in, the defense attorney, could clearly sense everything. Song Kang, who had clenched his fist, released it and gave a glance to Hae-in.
“Attorney Cha Hae-in, I’m sorry. Now that you know the situation, let’s end it for today.”
Hae-in couldn’t casually say goodbye and leave. Leaving just the two of them like this was a concern. Song Kang’s expression indicated so, and the tension in his body seemed unusual.
It felt like something troublesome was about to happen. However, staying put was not an option…
“It can’t be, you’re not thinking of killing, right? Don’t worry and go.”
In this moment, Song Kang spoke to Hae-in, who was watching the situation behind her. Upon hearing this, Na Song-woon belatedly realized the atmosphere and quickly hid behind Cha Hae-in.
“Attorney, please don’t go.”
Na Song-woon naively clung to Hae-in.
“Go out.”
“No, I can’t! Please, go out with me! I’ll die if I’m left alone with Oppa!”
Between Na Song-kang, the director of the law firm, and Na Song-woon, the youngest daughter of the Taesung family, Cha Hae-in, the defense attorney, didn’t know what to do.
Song Kang closed his eyes tightly, sighed deeply, and sat on the desk.
“I said to stop.”
The child seemed to feel it was the last warning, swallowed her saliva, and tried to calm down.
“Why did you come? Tell me the story slowly without crying.”
“It’s Oppa!”
The crying that seemed to have momentarily stopped erupted again. Song Kang wanted to get angry, but he felt like he had scolded enough, having received a scolding from Prosecutor Jin La-in.
“So, what’s the conclusion?”
“I can’t go get investigated. Oppa, can’t you do something?”
It was truly a futile remark. Most likely, she had already been to Geum Moran, and there would have been calculations that she couldn’t easily step forward there.
So she came here, and even though she lacked cleverness, was it possible to lack it to this extent? She wanted to scold her until her tears ran dry and send her back.
“Persuade the prosecutor or talk to someone higher than the prosecutor to prevent them from summoning me! Or just get rid of them!”
For a moment, Song Kang was about to raise his hand against the child. Despite all the anger so far, he had never raised a hand…
“What are you talking about!”
Cha Hae-in, the defense attorney, was really tense, thinking that he might actually hit Na Song-woon instead. Instead, he slammed the desk. Even though Hae-in clapped at Song Kang’s patience, he had vented his anger on the desk, not the child’s cheek.
Song Kang couldn’t control his anger and let out a deep sigh. He felt disillusioned at how all of Geum Moran’s children were like this.
Humans who would do anything for their own benefit… It was almost to the point of nausea.
For the sake of their own interests, humans are capable of doing anything… It was a situation where extreme measures were necessary.
“So! Oppa should have taken responsibility back then alone! Did Tae-sung have to suffer just because we did some illegal admissions? Even if you spent some company money, the company would have been better off! What’s with all this because Oppa persevered!”
Na Song-woon abruptly stopped talking and held her breath after letting out her words. The defense attorney Cha Hae-in’s mouth hung wide open at the words that came out of the child’s mouth. Her gaze turned toward Song Kang.
For a moment, there was silence in the room.
“Oh… Oppa, what I mean is… um…”
“Well… Director… I think Director Na Song-woon is too agitated right now, so maybe next time…”
Although it seemed like there was no room for anyone to intervene, the unexpected Haen stepped forward. Leaving Na Song-woon alone like this seemed like it might cause some trouble.
Song Kang gestured to Cha Hae-in that it was okay.
“Na Song-woon.”
Song Kang called the child calmly with a low and dignified voice. The frightened Na Song-woon was only rolling her eyes in every direction.
“Think of it as the last chance and undergo the investigation sincerely.”
Na Song-woon, who was completely scared, could barely make whimpering sounds.
“No answer, huh?”
“Yeah… no… okay…”
Having failed to recover her pride, Na Song-woon slumped her shoulders and turned away. Cha Hae-in, the defense attorney, couldn’t leave her seat and hesitated.
“Director Na Song-woon… Are you okay?”
The carefully asked question was to avoid touching Director Na Song-kang’s pride.
“What wouldn’t be okay. It’s not like I didn’t know. Moreover, I’m sorry for showing such an embarrassing side of our ordinary family in front of Attorney Cha Hae-in.”
“When you told Director to leave, he didn’t leave. What…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. Instead, I feel embarrassed that you saw the insignificant side of our family.”
Song Kang looked bitter.
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?”
