“No, Deputy Jin, it’s not just Doyeop who’s concerned about you. We all are!”
Team Leader Park emphasized that he was also concerned.
Yuna nodded with a painted smile.
“Thank you, everyone. I think I can endure well because of our team members, including Team Leader Park. It’s hard, but what can we do? The one who loves more is the weaker one.”
Team Leader Park looked at her with sympathy.
Then he clapped his hands and said,
“Let’s all cheer for Deputy Jin. How could that wretched seductress compare to our Deputy Jin? She’s the future daughter-in-law acknowledged by the chairman!”
“Exactly! Deputy Jin is beyond comparison. CEO Han doesn’t know how to appreciate a gem like her, being charmed by a seductress!”
Park and Choi tried hard to flatter Yuna with their well-matched banter.
Yuna felt secretly pleased inside. She enjoyed the criticism against Seoha and the fact that everything was going according to her plan.
The employees in the planning department chimed in appropriately, although some disliked Yuna but couldn’t openly show it.
Yuna wielded an invisible power here.
As soon as Yuna sat down and turned on her computer, she checked the articles about Seoha and Taekyung. Most comments were criticizing Seoha, but Taekyung was also receiving backlash.
Her father, Congressman Jin Cheol-wook, had an unexpected reaction to the situation.
‘It turned out well. This will become Han Taekyung’s weakness. Yuna, you need to position yourself well here. Act like a victim, appear magnanimous, understood?’
Congressman Jin Cheol-wook anticipated that this incident could be used as leverage to gain an upper hand in relations with HY Group.
For Yuna, Cheol-wook’s reaction was welcome.
She had worried that Cheol-wook might oppose her marriage to Taekyung because of this incident, but she was thrilled when he instead welcomed it.
Yuna decided to pressure Taekyung further and sent him a text message.
[Taekyung. I’m a broad-minded woman. I can forgive a brief transgression. But think about it, if we don’t resolve this, won’t Seoha receive more criticism? And what about the child?]Soon after, Taekyung, who had been avoiding Yuna’s calls, phoned her.
Yuna, thrilled inwardly, stepped outside to answer the call.
“Finally answering my call? That’s too much. Between us.”
What’s your real intention? Why drag an innocent child into this? Isn’t it enough that I’m the only one being criticized?
Taekyung’s voice from the phone seemed to be suppressing anger. Yuna flinched but didn’t back down, and started to act as if sobbing, making sure others could hear.
“Oh my, Taekyung, are you angry with me? I said I’d forgive everything.”
If you touch Seoha and the child, I won’t leave you alone.
“No matter how smitten you are with a woman, I’m still your fiancée.”
Yuna spoke with a quivering voice. Taekyung’s hollow laugh could be heard from the other end of the phone.
Ignoring that, Yuna lowered her voice so others couldn’t hear and revealed her true intentions.
“Taekyung, you need to marry me for the media to shift their focus away from Seoha.”
Taekyung was silent for a moment before responding in a cold voice.
I won’t marry you.
Seoha immediately sensed something seriously wrong with Yunhee.
She recalled a famous actress who had recently passed away due to a brain hemorrhage. Seoha realized that Yunhee’s symptoms were similar to the early signs of a brain hemorrhage mentioned on television.
The inability to move one leg and arm and the slurred speech were all initial symptoms of a brain hemorrhage.
“Uuuuh…”
“119! 119!”
Seoha, trembling, barely wiped away her tears and called 119.
“Our principal is acting strange. We’re at Onnuri Kindergarten. Please, hurry!”
Thud.
Right after Seoha ended the emergency call, Yunhee collapsed.
Startled, Seoha embraced Yunhee and called out for Chaeeun.
“Chaeeun, Vice Principal! Principal has collapsed!”
“What? Principal! Oh, mom! Mom! Wake up!”
Chaeeun, in a panic, shook Yunhee, but she was unconscious.
Within less than 5 minutes of the call, an ambulance arrived. The paramedics began to urgently transport Yunhee to a major hospital, and Chaeeun followed.
Seoha trembled like a shaking tree. Minjun ran to her and hugged her. Seoha held him tightly, feeling like this little boy was her lifeline.
Without him, she might have lost her will to live multiple times.
Seoha resented the gods.
She wanted to question why her life had to be so harsh, what she had done so wrong.
Or why they made not just her, but also the people she loved, suffer.
She wondered if she was a being that brought misfortune.
Seoha struggled to compose her crumbling heart.
She had resolved to become stronger, as Yunhee had comforted her, but it wasn’t easy.
Just for today, she decided to cry and become stronger. She felt like if she didn’t cry now, she would rot inside.
She decided to pour out all the negative thoughts filling her with tears.
Meanwhile, upon arriving at the hospital, Yunhee was immediately taken to the operating room. Chaeeun made a phone call to someone.
“It’s Chaeeun. Mom, Mom has collapsed. What should I do?”
I’ll come down right away. Don’t worry too much.
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?”
