“I asked a friend at the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. They say that the adhesive surface of artificial nails usually retains epidermal cells from the nails. They can test if those match genetically with the hair. Also, they can check if another DNA found on the artificial nail matches my son’s skin tissue. If we conduct the test, we’ll know who the owner of this nail is.”
Hyuna’s face turned pale.
With both the hair and the epidermal cells from the adhesive surface of the nail being hers, it was natural for the DNA to match.
What would happen if skin cells from the child were detected under her nail? Anyone with a sense of logic would have pointed to her as the culprit.
“No, no!”
In confusion, Hyuna grabbed the plastic bag on the table. Desperately, she took out the artificial nail and hurriedly swallowed it. Without a moment to think or hesitate, her body acted first.
That way, the combination of plastic and other chemicals traveled down her esophagus. Jung-hyuk furrowed his brow in bewilderment. He knew she would be flustered, but he didn’t expect to witness such a bizarre scene.
“Now you’re speechless. You drugged a mere five-year-old child and committed such a terrible act, and on top of that, you falsely accused the child’s mother. Oh Hyeon-a, it’s all you who did such a thing.”
A look of confusion crossed Hyeon-a’s face.
“Drugs…?”
“The prescription medicine from earlier. You confessed that it’s the sleeping pill you take.”
“…?”
Jung-hyuk gestured towards her handbag. Hyeon-a, turning pale, clutched the handbag to her chest.
Without a warrant, medical records couldn’t be accessed. She ended up confessing to having been prescribed a sleeping pill.
No! The nail is gone. The evidence has been destroyed, so what is there to fear?
Nonchalantly sitting with her legs crossed, Hyeon-a smirked with a relaxed expression.
“You too, oppa. Didn’t you just see it now? Even the evidence is gone. What are you going to do?”
“The evidence may be gone, but I heard your confession.”
“Didn’t you hear me say the recording would be stopped?”
“That’s not important. And Oh Hyeon-a, just now something went into your stomach. In reality, it’s so contaminated that there’s nothing we can confirm. Oh, and…”
Jung-hyuk took out his phone from his pocket and manipulated something, and a recorded voice started playing.
『I put her in the police station as a child abuser.』
Through the speakerphone, his voice echoed. Hyeon-a recalled the conversation she had with Seong-ja. In that moment, a chill ran down her spine.
“Good grief, it’s a lie. Anyway, since we’ve settled things with the rice and beans, don’t contact me anymore. Got it?”
Hyeon-a’s face twisted with surprise.
“Well, what kind of stunt is this?!”
Hyeon-a exclaimed, getting irritated. In that moment, a smile appeared on Jung-hyuk’s face, somehow devilish and sinister, sending shivers down her spine.
That’s when it happened. With a loud shout, the interrogation room door suddenly swung open.
“Hey! Oh Hyeon-aaagh!”
Hyeon-a’s shoulders jerked in surprise. When she turned around, a woman in a fit of rage was exhaling angrily like a raging bull in the open doorway.
Hyeon-a couldn’t believe her eyes. However, the woman standing before her was undoubtedly Yoo Da-jung, the one she had personally put in jail.
“What, who are you?! How did you get out?”
Da-jung didn’t respond. Instead, she clenched her fist tightly and walked forward step by step. As she did, Hyeon-a, frozen in shock, began to take steps backward.
“Oh, don’t come! Don’t come closer!”
In an instant, something agile sliced through the air. Then, as Hyeon-a recognized the figure that had flown up to her face, a flash of light burst before her eyes.
Snap!
A fierce palm struck Hyeon-a’s cheek.
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?”
