Yet, Baekho, who had been like that, now chose to seal himself. The hand holding the sword tightened, and the veins bulged.
‘It means he trusts me to this extent.’
And on his back was Yeon. In this situation, he absolutely couldn’t lose.
It seemed that the evil dragon still couldn’t fully control its power, as the black smoke around it grew and diminished like a candle flame.
Danmokbi swung the sword with all his might. The black smoke was cut away, only to swirl around him again, as if ready to engulf him. Danmokbi remained calm and composed, skillfully parrying and advancing towards them.
‘It’s just an illusion anyway. I need to cut down the main source emitting this.’
Although he seemed to have completely transformed into a dragon, when the black smoke parted, a blackened eye-catching Danmok spear dangled like a puppet. The Danmok spear spoke towards Danmokbi.
“Are you interfering again?”
Interference. Danmokbi twisted his lips.
“Trying to break others’ precious things and then asking so nonchalantly.”
It seemed like the Danmok spear couldn’t hear Danmokbi’s voice anymore. Like a broken doll, it poured out negative emotions with a stiff voice.
“Why are you the only one happy? Why does everyone like you, and I’m a disappointment?”
Those words sounded like spoiled complaints to Danmokbi. He aimed the sword at the Danmok spear.
“For our brothers, it was unfortunate, but our father wasn’t someone we could expect love and affection from. I found someone to replace our father, and my brother didn’t. That’s all.”
What if there was no Yeon? How would he have ended up?
‘I might have been in a worse situation.’
Therefore, Danmokbi didn’t sympathize with the Danmok spear. He didn’t blame it either.
The Danmok spear whined like a child.
“You’re our father. You’re family. Can you discard us so easily?”
“You said it yourself.”
Danmokbi declared firmly with a composed voice.
“In my world, there’s only Yeon.”
Only Yeon moved him.
As Baekho’s energy rose, the seal on his back shone brightly, spreading to his arms.
Danmokbi, looking like a fate brother who might have become himself, swung the sword.
The white light cut through the black smoke like lightning.
I tightly clasped my hands and made a heartfelt wish. Then suddenly, a question arose within me.
‘What will happen to the Danmok spear?’
Is it okay to disappear from the world without even tasting the side of happiness?
‘What if the Danmok spear was actually the protagonist of the story?’
If possible, I wanted to save that person. I wanted to relieve them of that unhappiness because of me.
No matter what others say, that person is the protagonist of this novel, written with affection by me.
‘Is there a way I can help?’
I was pondering for a moment when, like the whisper of a devil, Hyeol Jung-hyuk approached me and whispered meaningfully.
“Now is your chance.”
At Hyeol Jung-hyuk’s words, my eyes widened.
“A chance?”
“That evil dragon is a sacrifice. A tremendous sacrifice that can replace hundreds of people.”
Whether Danmokbi was fiercely fighting or not, the black smoke wriggled and surged like the corona of the sun, repeating its rise and fall.
Looking at that ominous shadow with trembling eyes, Hyeol Jung-hyuk whispered to me with a significant tone.
“I can offer you as a sacrifice to send you to the other world.”
His voice, as if reading my thoughts while contemplating Danmok spear, was secret and gentle.
“In that place, you can change this world as you please.”
I felt captivated by his words. It was true. If I went to that other world, I could change many things.
‘I can also change Danmok spear’s future.’
I tried to summon the evil dragon, but it didn’t work; if I write that down, does that mean it never happened?
But is it really the end?
I glanced at Hyul Jung-hyuk, who was goading me with a smirk. There was something strange about this man.
“Is it okay to provoke me like that recklessly? What if I go to the other world and erase you altogether?”
How could he be so sure that I would write a favorable future for him?
‘If you think about it, this whole situation happened because of Hyul Jung-hyuk.’
If he disappeared, all these events would never have occurred.
In response to my words and the threat to erase himself, the corners of Hyul Jung-hyuk’s mouth lifted. Even though he said he would erase himself, he laughed brightly like a madman.
“Well, that’s great.”
What’s so great about disappearing? Hyul Jung-hyuk approached me with a bright smile, as if he was thrilled about his existence disappearing.
Then, he grabbed my wrist and said, as his thick lips approached, he bit my fingertips.
“If I can’t have you, then just kill me with that hand.”
This guy is insane. Unable to endure, I finally swung the hand he hadn’t held onto.
“This is for real!”
I clenched my fist and pressed it against Hyul Jung-hyuk’s forehead. Like a younger sibling receiving a goodnight kiss, Hyul Jung-hyuk blinked his eyes in confusion.
“…Did you just hit me?”
“Yes! I hit you!”
Did you think I couldn’t hit you? I shook off the hand he held onto, saying,
“Why do you keep thinking about self-destructive thoughts? If you’re alive, you should make an effort to be happy.”
In response to my words, Hyul Jung-hyuk questioned with a despondent tone,
“I don’t know how to be happy. I don’t know how to become happy.”
In his innocent tone, as if genuinely not knowing, my breath caught in my throat.
“I’ve done everything I wanted, but my heart was always empty. Like an insatiable hunger that can’t be filled in my stomach. The only thing I want is you, ugly steamed bun.”
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?”
