My sister glared at my uncle with a terrifying force.
“Give the order! Dad was wrong. Please stop her. Can’t you find Tae-rim for me?”
With that statement, my sister’s mana gradually subsided, and she collapsed.
As it turned out, my sister had awakened a year after my brother. She had immediately wanted to help him and find our mom, but my uncle had opposed it.
In addition to being the chairman, my uncle was a highly skilled production class hunter known even beyond our world. He was very protective, and he didn’t want his daughter to take unnecessary risks. He forcefully intervened, and this incident happened.
My sister had used mana excessively and had been hospitalized for a while. When I went to visit her, her first words were an apology.
“No, there was a reason, sister.”
“Sister will find our mom and brother for you. It’s okay now. Sister will bring them back.”
“Yeah, thank you.”
I was so grateful and appreciative. But I also felt empty.
Everyone else was moving forward, while I felt like I couldn’t even start from the beginning.
My sister also became busy like my brother, and I moved out of the house.
My sister contacted me occasionally, but I started avoiding her intentionally. My gratitude for her turned into discomfort due to my inferiority complex.
I knew this wasn’t the right way to go about it, but I couldn’t fully accept her kindness.
“Why are you here?”
“What about my sister? Why is she here?”
“Is she hurt? Is there any injury?”
“Yeah… is it Nayoung unnie?”
“Didn’t you recognize her even when you saw her? Your dad has been looking everywhere for you! Going out like this, not giving any news! Huh? And you have no fear staying inside a dungeon!”
Nayoung unnie smacked the back of my neck. I had asked because I thought it might be some sort of doppleganger monster or something, but seeing her immediately unleash a neck smash, it seemed like it really was Nayoung unnie.
“Well, there’s a reason for that. I wanted to go out too. But…”
“But?”
I didn’t know where to start explaining. The situation was so sudden that my thoughts were all jumbled up.
“…Did you, by any chance, awaken?”
As I hesitated to speak, Nayoung unnie asked with a sly look.
“Yeah… right after awakening, I was forcefully warped.”
I explained roughly as I thought of it. Nayoung unnie tried to intervene here and there, but she soon nodded with a serious expression.
“I see… But how did you awaken? What was the urgency?”
Normally, asking about class or rank was considered rude behavior among hunters, but I felt like I could tell Nayoung unnie.
“F-grade.”
“And the class?”
“That’s…”
But even if I said it, she probably wouldn’t believe it…
“Come on, tell me. Is it a combat class?”
“No, it’s not…”
Knowing Nayoung unnie’s personality, if I didn’t tell her, she would keep pressing.
“…Innkeeper.”
“What did you say?”
“Camping… Innkeeper.”
She slightly wrinkled her forehead and then raised her hand, forming a triangle with her fingertips. The small tent at the Spring Camping Site was exactly that triangular shape.
“Yeah, that’s right. I have my own camping ground in this dungeon. You can get buffs there, and it also serves as shelter for safety.”
“Shelter…?”
“Yeah, that’s my skill.”
As the explanation continued, a deep furrow appeared on Gayoung unnie’s forehead. She grabbed my hand tightly and spoke seriously.
“Did you hurt your head when you fell into the dungeon? Sometimes, if the warp spell goes wrong, it can cause mental problems, you know? No, let’s get out first and have you checked. The center director is really worried.”
“Wait, unnie. I can’t get out. I’m bound to this dungeon until I reach level 10.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Gayoung sunbaenim, who is this person?”
As unnie tried to pull me away, the man who was with her looked at me and asked.
“Uh… Someone I know a little.”
The man had white hair and white eyes. Like Margin Woo, a hunter, it seemed that his hair and the color of his eyes had changed due to the influence of mana.
On top of that, he was all dressed in white, which made him stand out even more. He looked like he was in the middle of a snowy wilderness.
Judging by the way he addressed unnie as “senior,” he seemed to be a member of the same team as her, which was the Recon Team 7 led by our dad.
“Are you affiliated with the Association? I’ve never seen you before.”
Our family relationship had been kept a secret all along, so unnie was trying to evade the question, but he was persistent.
In a hurry to find another excuse.
“This person is not affiliated with the Association.”
This time, Cha Donghwa, the hunter, stepped in.
“Do you know Hunter Moon Gayoung, by any chance?”
I was so delighted to see Cha Donghwa that I didn’t pay enough attention. Unnie’s face briefly showed a hint of confusion, then she suddenly pointed at him and exclaimed.
“Cha Donghwa Hunter? Why is he with our Bomi?”
Unnie grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her. Her eyes were guarded, as if she were protecting me from Cha Donghwa, her gaze warning him to stay away.
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?”
