‘A shocking three-way confrontation,’ ‘Kim Yeonwoo and Lim Nayoon confront in front of Kwon Junhwi.’ Maybe it would have such a subtitle.
But it seems to be okay now. In front of Yeonwoo, there was a broad back blocking Nayoon.
Nayoon, the man blocking the world’s finger-pointing. Just look at that and believe it. It should be fine.
“What’s going on? Attorney Lim Nayoon. Haven’t you resigned yet?”
Amidst the clamor, both lawyers rushed to the scene a step behind. As soon as they arrived, an ambiguous remark, whether attempting to put out the fire or pouring fuel, provoked Lim Nayoon.
“Ah, I see. Attorney Lim Nayoon, is all this chaos because of the rumors about the adulteress verdict?”
The verdict? Hearing this story for the first time, Yeonwoo raised an eyebrow.
However, it seemed to strike a nerve with Lim Nayoon as she glared at both lawyers. Oh my, she’s going to devour them. The murmuring lawyer chuckled leisurely.
“Well, what did I make a fuss about? I might have missed that part, Attorney Lim.”
“What?”
“It wasn’t Kwon Byun who spread the rumor. He was distributing the verdict near the company since last night. I got one too.”
“Uh… I got one too.”
Kim Seungho, who interjected cautiously, held out a leaflet he held in his hand. Everyone’s attention naturally shifted there.
[Adulteress Attorney Lim Nayoon Deserves Punishment!]Even from a distance, the provocative phrase was clear and bold.
“Aaah!”
Lim Nayoon rushed to grab the leaflet, but Junhwi’s long arm intercepted it before her.
“······Therefore, due to the misconduct of the defendant Lim Nayoon, leading to the dissolution of the marital relationship, ······it has resulted in divorce, and the defendant Lim Nayoon is justifiably required to pay alimony to the plaintiff.”
Junhwi’s low voice reading the back resonated in the space. Among the many people there, not a single person dared to make a sound.
“Stop! Just stop it, Kwon Junhwi!”
Even with Nayoon’s protest, he continued reading the back without wavering.
The rest was even more chaotic. Nayoon’s personal information, rumors about the CEO, and other messy relationships with other men.
Despite having a fiance, Nayoon had no qualms about infidelity, and eventually, according to the leaflet’s claim, the plaintiff’s family collapsed.
‘Kwon Junhwi and I were engaged, came to Korea to get married, but everything was ruined by Kim Yeonwoo.’ Her claim was completely contrary to the leaflet’s content.
Infidelity? Alimony?
Attorney Lim Nayoon…?
It was just bewildering. The deeds committed by ‘Adulteress Lim Nayoon’ were horrifying.
Yeonwoo’s trembling gaze seemed entwined with Junhwi’s, but he remained composed, seemingly already aware.
‘Somehow, people suddenly became supportive.’
Only now did Yeonwoo realize why people’s attitudes had changed so suddenly. It was because of Nayoon’s ridiculous lies and acting last night that had all been exposed.
“Some woman provided the evidence. Claimed to be the actual victim of the affair.”
In the lawyer’s kind explanation, the color drained from Nayoon’s face.
Junhwi, who had stopped reading, tapped the lower part of the leaflet with his long fingers, tick, tock, resonating throughout the space.
[I will follow the adulteress and her ex-husband to the ends of the earth, even to the threshold of death.]The bold Gothic font exuded injustice and bitterness. Exhausted, Nayoon couldn’t say a word.
“······.”
The face of the woman facing my business turned contorted. When I first saw her, her beauty, so sophisticated and flawless, now seemed pale, miserably unsightly.
“Why do you live committing sins? Even those who stay quiet, torment them with lies.”
In response to the lawyer’s mocking words, Nayoon sharpened her gaze in bewilderment.
“Now, now, do you believe this nonsensical thing? Why?”
“It’s the verdict. Formally declared by the court.”
“······!”
Nayoon looked around, as if searching for someone on her side. However, those who had already turned away stared at her with cold, almost repulsive eyes.
The gritted teeth of the woman cornered at a dead-end grated noisily.
Why did things get tangled like this? Just when I was trying to let go, this timing to come and get involved.
The rumor about the strange woman Kim Yeonwoo, that was the end of the interesting and good part.
Nayoon frustratingly scattered her hair.
However, the current commotion inside Ro&Yul wasn’t the issue. There was something even more concerning.
While that leaflet is in Korea, or rather, could it follow me like a label for the rest of my life?
“Who distributed this? Where are they! Who did it? This is defamation!”
So Nayoon attempted a final protest. Even if she was leaving, she wanted to at least restore some semblance of her image.
“If you want to risk defamation, go for ‘False Accusation’ instead of ‘Timely Disclosure.'”
However, even that didn’t go as planned because of Junhwi’s retort.
“If a trial is held, I can attend as a witness as much as you want.”
Nayoon bit her lip. The gesture of grabbing the paper from Junhwi’s hands looked pathetic.
“Really, so many troubles in the law firm.”
Stopping her tantrum and leaving Kwon Junhwi’s law office, Nayoon heard the lawyer mumble.
“Is Ro&Yul originally such a diverse place, Attorney Yang?”
“Well, yes. It’s a place that realizes social justice, isn’t it? Retribution. Cause and effect. What else, what’s there?”
“Let’s live a good life?”
As the situation concluded, the people who had gathered dispersed in an instant. Only the two lawyers and Kim Seungho remained, trying to lighten the mood.
······Should I consider this well-resolved?
Watching them, Yeonwoo faintly smiled, but he didn’t feel particularly cheerful.
However, because the unjust stigma could be shed, there was a clear sense of relief.
Nayoon, who adorned the last chapter of Ro&Yul’s gossip history, resigned without notice.
People collectively apologized to Yeonwoo.
I’m sorry for believing rumors and blindly accusing, I just thought that woman’s words were true, after various excuses, what remained was simply curiosity about one fact.
“So, when did you start dating Attorney Kwon Junhwi?”
Lunchtime conversation prepared by colleagues to apologize to Yeonwoo.
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?”
