“Hyojae, is there something you want to eat or like?”
“Me? I like everything, so let’s go eat something expensive since Senior Taekyung is treating.”
“Haha. Okay.”
Kyuwon chuckled and felt grateful to Taekyung for creating this time for them.
Hyojae rolled her eyes for a moment, then twinkled and said,
“By any chance, do you like Italian cuisine?”
“Yes. I like it.”
“Then, would you like to go to an Italian restaurant? Actually, there’s a place I want to go, but I don’t want to go alone.”
“Oh, really? Let’s go together today.”
When Kyuwon readily agreed, Hyojae’s face brightened even more.
“It’s called ‘Qujin Nam.’ It’s a place where a hot new chef has recently opened. It’s a bit far from here, but they say the food is incredibly delicious.”
“Oh? Is that the place where Chef Nam Chansoo is?”
“Yes! Kyuwon, you know him too?”
“Nam Chansoo is my friend.”
“Oh my! I really like Chef Nam Chansoo.”
“Chansoo?”
“Yes! I saw him on a broadcast last time, and the food looked so beautiful. It was like a work of art! I really wanted to go to Chef Nam Chansoo’s restaurant, but it’s too hard to make a reservation.”
“Oh, really? I didn’t know Chansoo was that good.”
As Hyojae excitedly talked, Kyuwon felt good. With this, he hoped to score some points with Hyojae.
“Wait a moment then.”
Kyuwon quickly sent a text message to Chansoo.
[Chansoo, I’m going to have a meal with an important person. Is it possible to make a reservation now?]The answer came back frighteningly quickly.
[A woman?]Just these two characters made Kyuwon’s face turn red.
Suppressing his pounding heart, he quickly moved his fingers again.
[Yeah. Someone I hope will go well. Please.] [Sure. You can come anytime. I’ll set up the table. Be careful coming here; I heard it’s snowing.]With his friend’s clear answer, Kyuwon, who had been waiting, escorted Hyojae and explained,
“Chansoo has been my friend since middle school. I didn’t know he would become such a famous chef, but…”
“Wow.”
Hyojae widened her eyes, looking at Kyuwon. Hyojae, who enjoys exploring good restaurants as a hobby, was excited about Kyuwon’s words.
Kyuwon opened the passenger seat door of his car.
Feeling awkward, Hyojae sat in the passenger seat.
When Kyuwon reached out to fasten Hyojae’s seatbelt, she became flustered.
“I’ll do the belt myself.”
“Yes, I’m sorry if it was uncomfortable.”
“No, well, it’s not that uncomfortable, just a bit awkward…”
Kyuwon felt uneasy, thinking that he might have made Hyojae uncomfortable.
Every expression and movement of Hyojae bothered Kyuwon, and he couldn’t help it.
Kyuwon cautiously drove the car to Chansoo’s restaurant.
Outside, snowflakes were falling slowly. It was the first snowfall of the year.
Kyuwon’s heart pounded even more at the thought of seeing the first snow with Hyojae.
“It’s snowing.”
“Isn’t it difficult to drive in the snow?”
“This amount of snow is okay. But let’s hope it doesn’t snow more.”
Kyuwon said to reassure Hyojae. Hyojae looked endlessly outside at the snowflakes dancing.
“It’s the first snow. Do you like snow?”
“Snow? I don’t like it that much, like an adult. It’s hard to get around when it snows.”
“But isn’t it romantic?”
Hyojae’s bitter expression made Kyuwon feel concerned.
Actually, Kyuwon wasn’t particularly fond of snow either. However, being with Hyojae now, the snow outside felt romantically pleasant.
“I don’t have many good memories of snowy days. It’s not as good as when I was a child.”
A moment of darkness passed over Hyojae’s face. Kyuwon cautiously asked her about the reason.
“Can I ask what memory it is?”
“Well…”
After hesitating, Hyojae opened her mouth again.
“My ex-boyfriend and I planned to attend an end-of-year concert of our favorite singer. It snowed heavily that day, causing a lot of traffic. We were late for the concert because of the snow and had a terrible fight. Since then, I don’t like snowy days. The traffic gets really bad because of the snow.”
Watching Hyojae smile bitterly, Kyuwon felt a twinge in his heart. He felt a mix of jealousy towards her unknown ex-boyfriend and sympathy for Hyojae’s bitter laughter.
“Regarding snowy days, you just have to create good memories. Starting from today.”
“Today?”
“Yes. Looking at the snow outside the window, eating something delicious.”
Kyuwon intentionally showed a bright smile. Hyojae also faintly smiled in response.
Due to an upcoming business trip to Finland, Taekyung’s work was piling up.
Taekyung was scheduled to attend an international seminar at a nationwide education expo in Finland, targeting Finnish teachers.
Furthermore, it was an excellent opportunity to introduce T&K’s various educational programs in Northern Europe, so he was putting a lot of effort into preparations.
Despite all this, what lingered in Taekyung’s mind was the marriage registration.
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?”
