This was his first patient consultation after returning to Korea, so his focus was solely on the patients.
So, he purposely paid no attention to anything other than the patients.
Na Young didn’t need to tremble with anxiety from the morning.
The rounds were conducted quickly as they had to examine numerous patients within a fixed time.
Even the patients who were seeing the new professor for the first time observed him with curious eyes.
People often doubted his skills due to his excessively glamorous appearance for a doctor.
But no one dared to question his competence directly because of the intimidating aura he radiated.
“He is a liver cancer patient who will undergo a hepatectomy.”
The chief Dong Geon briefed Professor Choi in detail about the patient’s condition and the changes that had occurred within a day.
Na Young, a firstyear resident, had to diligently record the rounds, but she barely wrote anything today, as she was preoccupied with observing Professor Choi.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk didn’t take it lightly just because it was the first day.
“What are the patient’s CBC (blood test) values?”
When Professor Choi asked for more details, Chief Dong Geon naturally turned his gaze towards her.
She was in charge of the patient.
Normally, she would have immediately recited the values, but now, as Professor Choi Tae Hyuk’s veiled gaze turned towards her, she became as still as a frozen pollock.
Their eyes met directly. Just like they did at the club.
Instead of the pounding music, now her heart was pounding loudly, beating her body senselessly.
She was unable to open her mouth due to the anxiety about whether he would recognize her.
As her silence stretched, everyone began to grow uneasy.
“Doctor Moon. CBC values.”
Dong Geon prompted her again.
However, the frowning face of Professor Choi Tae Hyuk appeared even larger in her eyes.
Her mind went blank.
“Are you wearing a mask because you’re sick?”
Eventually, when Professor Choi asked about her condition, Nam Ho Jin, a secondyear resident, quickly explained on her behalf.
“Yes, she’s running a high fever, yet she’s still enduring it.”
He grossly exaggerated as was his usual habit.
Na Young, who had no intention of telling such lies, couldn’t hide her flustered expression.
Even though Professor Choi Tae Hyuk was looking at her with cold eyes right in front of her, she would have told the truth if it were not for him.
Professor Choi Tae Hyuk didn’t confirm whether she was indeed running a high fever, but he also didn’t show sympathy for her claiming to be sick.
He just wanted to dismiss her without wasting time.
“Go. You seem useless here.”
She was shocked to hear that she was useless for the first time in her life.
Why am I useless?
Why!
The man who introduced the concept of deviation to the model student Moon Na Young for the first time, was now teaching her incompetence in just a day.
Was this a bad fate or a connection?
By the end of the day, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk, the legendary professor from the U.S., had become a venomous professor among the residents and interns, whom they dreaded to encounter.
After a busy day, the residents gathered in one place and began to talk about the heinousness of the newly arrived professor.
Just like they were telling an adventure story.
“Man! I thought I was going to get hit in the surgery room. I didn’t miss the scalpel, it was just a little loose, but he’s so quick to grab at people.”
“The chief kept telling us to slow down and practice a thousand times. He really lost face in front of us.”
“He was merciless even to the nurses. Halfkilled a person for not following the medication order. That nurse is probably still crying.”
They all realized it in just one day.
That the new professor was an absolute lunatic.
“……”
She kept her silence in the corner, listening to all these stories.
She still had doubts that all this wasn’t a dream.
Nam Ho Jin threw a word at her, who didn’t join the conversation and was alone.
“Teacher Moon was the best of them all. He was the one who took care of it.”
Na Young could only giggle at the envy of her colleagues who were kicked out during the round.
She tried to remember her meeting with him as a movielike night and was keen on living as a resident.
But it became impossible the moment he appeared before her and said his name, Choi Tae Hyuk.
He took care of it?
Oh, please.
A movielike night my ass.
The man who was perfectly flawless that night has now just become a mean professor.
Na Young went to the morning round with a determined mind.
She was still hiding her face with a mask and glasses, but she vowed not to be a fool who couldn’t say a word because she was frozen like yesterday.
She was not a useless person.
She was going through the resident process to become a doctor who was definitely needed in this hospital.
So, she didn’t want to hear such words again.
When it was 7:50 am again, Professor Choi Tae Hyuk appeared on time.
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?”
