“You can say everything till the end.”
“……”
“Anytime, I’m just waiting for you to remember me.”
Despite saying that, he acted as if he had already placed Seol Won on his palm.
But he did not push or rush, just silently watching.
“Mom! Was the island Uju lived on really a mysterious island?”
“Huh? Yes, it is. It’s a very mysterious island.”
Fortunately, there was a precious and dear existence that eased the tension between the two.
A soft smile soon bloomed from Seol Won’s previously closed mouth.
Chae Ha watched her expression with intense interest.
I was considering when would be a good time to start the conversation, and it seemed like the perfect timing right now.
“Min Seol Won. Would you like to visit your mother?”
“….My mother?”
“Yes. It has been three days since you returned, you must have gotten used to this place by now.”
Seol Won’s complexion darkened ever so slightly.
The hesitation that surfaced on her face only strengthened Chae Ha’s suspicions.
It was unusual that Min Seol Won, who would rush to her mother disregarding everything else in the world, was cautious this time.
In fact, Chae Ha had been bothered by it all along.
Why she was running away from him, even lying blatantly.
Even when Heo Yeong Ju and Baek Sa Ra broke into the house, they were not particularly surprised, as if they had seen a dead person alive again.
Especially my mother, Heo Yeong Ju, who is usually scared easily and could have fainted on the spot at the sight of a ghost, was indifferent to the fact that Seol Won was alive, only reacting to her memory loss.
There was undoubtedly something going on between them that I didn’t know about.
On top of that, Min Seol Won’s mother passed away the very next morning after Seol Won disappeared.
It was a strange coincidence. Hence, Chae Ha pushed his suggestion even more firmly.
“It’s been five years since you last saw her. Let’s find time tomorrow morning and go together.”
“Together?”
“Isn’t it natural for a soninlaw to accompany?”
“No. I’ll go alone. Just tell me where.”
“That’s not possible.”
Despite the firm refusal, Seol Won’s eyes wavered, but Chae Ha had no intention of letting her go to her mother alone.
When Min Seol Won disappeared from the world, and when she returned before my eyes.
He had decided that he would never let her shed tears alone again, not even for a moment.
“Let’s go together. I also have something I want to say to your mother.”
Seeing her large eyes blink silently, Chae Ha solidified his resolve even more.
He decided that those clear eyes would never have to swallow pain alone again.
At the entrance of the forest filled with tall, stretched trees, Seol Won took a deep breath.
Mom. Mother.
A name she had called countless times over the past five years, but it had been too difficult to come here.
She wanted to come alone because it was evident she was on the brink of falling apart.
However, no matter how many times she resisted, Chae Ha did not let her come alone.
While Uju was at the daycare, he took a half day off and drove Seol Won here himself in his car.
“I deliberately didn’t choose a big mountain. You always liked smaller places, and your mother also wanted to be buried in a small mountain.”
“Ah…..”
When he mentioned that it was her mother’s tomb, Seol Won remembered what Chae Ha had said when she first came to the island.
The mother and daughter had never discussed such a thing in their lifetime.
She always hated preparing for and thinking about death.
She had more than enough with her father, who had died on duty in a fire.
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?”
