Legally already his wife, the woman he had loved for a very long time, he was already too busy proclaiming to everyone that this woman was his, both verbally and physically, since the start of the party.
“Protecting? I didn’t even go anywhere else… Wait, seriously?”
With a reddened face, Eunjo pushed Jae-ha away and glanced at Brandon as if checking his reaction. And she looked around, wondering how many people were looking in this direction.
[Kyle, calm down a bit. Did I come to a place I shouldn’t have?]Now, as if to say it’s absurd, Brandon raised his shoulders, and Jae-ha finally reached out to him.
[Welcome, it’s good to see you.] [I’ll formally introduce her. Although you already know who she is.]“Eunjo, this is my friend Brandon Cooper. He’s not someone you need to pay much attention to. You can just forget about him after seeing him today.”
Crazy. Eunjo burst into laughter, her lips spreading into a smile.
“The face of a friend isn’t the kind of face you can just forget. He’s an amazing handsome guy, and strangely, he resembles you a bit. It’s a good thing.”
“What nonsense…”
After letting out a sneeze, Jae-ha looked around and immediately spotted Da-on.
[Excuse me for a moment. There’s someone I want to introduce you to.] [Hey, Kyle. She just complimented me! Right? Thanks to you, I can understand some Korean. A jealous, blind idiot.]While saying unpleasant things to his friend, Brandon was smiling like an angel from mythology.
That appearance looked familiar, too. How did two similar-looking men become friends? Covering her mouth with her hand, Eunjo chuckled again.
Looking at Jae-ha whispering to Da-on, she accepted the champagne glass Brandon offered.
“So, Da-on! Oh, this is getting more and more enviable, Kyle.”
“Are you still unmarried?”
“Unfortunately, yes.”
Her face, which didn’t seem unfortunate at all, brightened even more as she smiled at the approaching child.
“Brandon, are you in your right mind? Giving a glass to my wife!”
Jae-ha took the thin glass from Eunjo’s hand and placed it back on the table.
“Don’t be like that, I haven’t even drunk it! And if it’s champagne, it’s okay to sip a bit to wet the lips!”
Although Eunjo complained softly, Jae-ha didn’t blink an eye.
“Da-on, say hello. He’s a friend of Daddy’s.”
The child, wearing a cute tuxedo matching mine, extended his hand.
“Hello, Mister. Nice to meet you. I’m Yoon Da-on!”
“Hello, I’m Brandon Cooper.”
Bending down to match Da-on’s eye level, Brandon shook the little hand.
Winking at Eunjo while watching Jae-ha whisper to Da-on, he put his arm around her waist.
“Should I give Da-on an English name too? How about ‘Darling’?”
“Well, it might be good to have one, but using the original name might be better.”
“Okay, do as you like with Darling.”
Jae-ha, looking at the child dressed in formal clothes on behalf of me, had a proud expression. He was learning what it meant to be full even without eating.
“Your eyes are really beautiful, Mr. Brandon!”
“I hear that a lot. Just call me Brandon.”
“Your hair is also incredibly beautiful, the best I’ve ever seen!”
“Well, I hear that story quite often. Your hair is excellent too, seems to resemble Dad.”
“If it’s not impolite, may I touch it once?”
“Da-on, that’s against manners…”
“Brandon, think of it as a practice for Dad.”
Jae-ha, interrupting Eunjo’s words, nodded at Brandon as if he should quickly grant the child’s wish.
Brandon immediately lifted Da-on in his arms and affectionately behaved as if he were his own son, telling him to touch whatever he wanted.
As expected, Jae-ha’s expression changed! Eunjo jabbed his side with her elbow.
“Stop it! Now that I see it, it seems like these two guys usually play like this. It looks a bit childish, don’t you think? Today, take it easy. It’s Oppa’s book launch party, and he’s the star of the party.”
Smiling with narrowed eyes, Eunjo, biting her teeth tightly, said. Childish, just like teenage boys.
Hmm—whatever Eunjo said, Jae-ha, breathing heavily with an embarrassed face, approached Brandon.
“Da-on, come here. Come to Dad.”
Oh my goodness. Eunjo touched her forehead, about to explode.
As the child hugged me, wrapping his arms around my neck, Jae-ha became all energetic.
“If you envy it, go date, punk. Get married or something.”
Of course, he couldn’t forget the teasing.
“Kyle, I heard you haven’t had a proper wedding yet, right?”
Even the guy who stuffed a macaron into his mouth wasn’t easy to handle. Ah—men. Eunjo shivered, thinking about the night she would be troubled again with wedding issues.
Sure enough.
“I heard. What that kid just said.”
“……Huh?”
How will he torment me tonight with relentless and sweet torment?
Eunjo’s cheek, exhausted from the persistent and sweet torment, blushed.
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?”
