A silence filled the house from which Geum Moran was expelled. In addition, Na Song-rim was in custody, and Na Song-un, hearing the atmosphere at home, did not enter the house.
As instructed by Song Kang, the butler carefully monitored Chairman Na’s condition. He skipped meals, and the study’s lights remained on until dawn.
Was there anything worthy to offer Chairman Na, who hadn’t taken a sip of water?
The butler thought of wine. Among them, there was a wine that Chairman Na particularly loved.
It was a wine that Song Kang’s mother liked, serving as both a couple’s sleeping pill and a mental stabilizer.
Moreover, it was a wine that the butler had secretly stashed away in a corner of the warehouse after being aware of Geum Moran’s presence.
The butler went down to get the wine.
One… two… three…
Although it was a modest display, the wines were arranged by the aging process, so they were displayed by the year.
However, one bottle in the middle was empty. The butler found it strange and searched the warehouse for a long time.
There was no one to blame for losing a bottle of wine, but now that Geum Moran was gone, finding the lost bottle became important, considering that Chairman Na might consistently look for wine.
“Oh? Why is this…?”
Instead of the lost wine, what caught the butler’s eye was a rack full of rope-like items.
The butler, who had a very tidy personality, was not a person to witness such a scene, and if someone had come and gone, it was undoubtedly wrong…
Not only was the wine gone, but the rack was also open…
Why wine and a rope of all things…
The butler, shocked, quickly emerged from the basement. Then, he looked to see if the light was on in Chairman Na’s study.
The butler wanted to jump and look beyond the study, but the size of the mansion was overwhelming.
However, at that moment, Chairman Na’s movements were vaguely visible. It seemed like he was tying something like a rope. The butler quickly took out his phone and called Song Kang.
Song Kang heard the news that Chairman Na hadn’t come to work and felt heavy-hearted. He thought he should visit Chairman Na and go to the hospital with him.
It was a hospital visit, but he also wanted to arrange for Cha Hae-in, the lawyer, and assure him not to worry about future matters.
Song Kang headed to the mansion with Lawyer Cha Hae-in.
“Isn’t it the first time I’ve visited the chairman’s residence?”
“Yes, that’s right. Other than very important executives, it’s rare to be invited to someone’s home.”
Hae-in’s expression was tense, uncommon for such occasions.
“It would have been more comfortable if we had met at the company. Chairman Na seems to be quite uncomfortable right now. However, the current situation is not suitable for proceeding with matters at leisure.”
At that moment, Song Kang’s phone rang. It was a call from the butler, and Song Kang was suddenly enveloped in an ominous feeling.
“Yes.”
Director! Something big happened! Hurry, come! Hurry!
“What’s happening? Did something happen to my father?”
Song Kang, in his haste, chose the word ‘father’ in front of Lawyer Cha Hae-in. There was no time to distinguish the construction site, and he was impatient.
As the call ended, Song Kang, in his roaring car, accelerated with a sense of urgency. He practically abandoned the car and rushed up to Chairman Na’s study.
Hae-in followed him and, sensing something unknown, called an ambulance.
The butler was knocking on the door.
“Chairman! Chairman! Is the key still here? I’m guarding it well! I should go down to check!”
Song Kang stood in front of the door, penetrating the commotion.
“Move.”
He began kicking the doorknob with his foot. Even while kicking the door, Song Kang felt uneasy.
It was the Taesung family, which had been so sturdily built that it never thought the doorknob would break, no matter how much force was applied.
“Director! Director!”
Lawyer Cha Hae-in climbed up with the key in a hurry. He quickly opened the study door.
As the door opened, the assistants all stepped back.
It was because the anticipated tragedy was happening beyond the door. Song Kang quickly ran forward, lifting his father’s two legs.
“Father! No! No!”
Song Kang threw off his coat and performed CPR on Chairman Na.
“Father, no…! Father! Wake up!”
His earnestness seemed to reach Chairman Na, and he started breathing. However, he didn’t open his eyes or move. So, it wasn’t clear if he was really okay.
“Director! The ambulance is here!”
The butler, visibly frightened, spoke with both hands to his mouth.
Chairman Na, who was transported to the hospital, regained consciousness just as one bottle of the saline solution was running out. Song Kang blamed his father for the extreme choice but couldn’t leave his side.
Words like “I’ll see you after looking at the company” and “I want to see my mother”…
They were all words spoken with the end in mind.
“Father… Ha… Father, can you wake up a bit?”
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?”
