Deciding that there was nothing to gain from further conversation with Samseop, she picked up her phone and began to check the comments on SNS.
As expected, people were leaving comments mixed with envy.
Among them, some liked the items she used, saying they overlapped with what they used.
Feeling pleased that someone who could be her loyal follower was feeling a sense of camaraderie, Yeonji replied to the comments.
In response to a comment with only heart-shaped emojis, a person claiming to be Seoyeonji’s long-time fan sent her a DM saying they didn’t know what to do.
Watching those reactions, Yeonji was engulfed in a feeling as if she had become a top star.
“Why are you laughing so slyly?”
“There’s an interesting article. But why did you come, oppa?”
“Just because.”
“Just because?”
Yeonji furrowed her eyebrows.
She had promised herself not to disturb Samseop’s feelings, but for a moment, her mood soured, and her emotions were clearly revealed on her face.
There was nothing she could do.
It felt like Samseop had come to monitor her closely.
Approaching, Samseop lightly tapped Yeonji’s forehead with his hand.
“Normally, creditors have to check on the debtor regularly to see if they’re doing well.”
“…….,”
“Besides, you have a child with a record. I can’t let you run away like a chicken chasing a dog. That wouldn’t be right.”
Finishing his words with a sly smile, Samseop decided he had some business to attend to and left Yeonji’s house early today.
As soon as the front door closed, Yeonji let out a sarcastic chuckle as if amazed.
“What’s with that guy? Since when did he know proverbs like that?”
A person who used to blurt out ignorant remarks suddenly spoke like someone educated, leaving Yeonji bewildered.
She chuckled, checking the comments on the recent post.
[“Unni, are you also using C mist? Hashtagging a mist is an advertisement, right?”] [“The mist she actually uses seems to be a C brand mist.”]Checking the comments, Yeonji examined the picture she had just uploaded. Among her cosmetics, the mist from her usual brand was also visible.
“Seriously, this is so tiring. Why bother scrutinizing every little thing?”
Yeonji deleted the comment that wrote strange things.
“You can’t filter out stuff like this. Annoying!”
The fact that she had to examine each comment already made her tired.
She already felt fatigue building up just thinking about those followers who, like maids, protected her, commenting that the more mist, the better, or asking if she used only one cosmetic because she had no money.
“I should block their IDs next time.”
If someone kept saying it was an ad, that ID would be registered so they couldn’t comment.
“What’s this now?”
Yeonji, who was casually checking the recently received DM, bit her thumb hard.
[You’re Seoeunseong, right?]Pressing the account that sent the DM revealed a message saying it was private.
“Who on earth is this?”
Very few people knew her previous name.
It seemed like more people, including Hyukjoo and Masamseop, were gradually learning about her past these days. The thought that her past might be revealed one by one made Yeonji anxious.
Eunsu was sitting in the living room, watching TV.
Sangju went to the room first, complaining of feeling a bit like catching a cold, and Hyukjoo was still organizing meeting materials.
The channel she was watching started to get boring, so she picked up the remote again. The door opened, and Hyukjoo came out. She seemed to be going out, as she had changed her clothes.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m thinking of going to see the stars.”
“Stars?”
Eunsu tilted her head.
“I know a place where you can see the stars well.”
A resort employee she met on her way home a while ago recommended going to 1100 meters because it’s a place where you can see the stars well on clear days. She referred to it as 1100 meters because it’s a location at the middle of Hallasan Mountain.
The weather in Jeju is so changeable that Hyukjoo has been checking the night sky every day since then.
Fortunately, today the sky was clear enough for the stars to be visible, and as soon as he confirmed it, Hyukjoo stopped what he was doing and suggested to Eunsoo that they go see the stars.
“The sky is clear today, so the stars should be much clearer. That’s why I suggested we go with our little one.”
“Okay.”
Eunsoo got up from the sofa.
Still not changed into pajamas, Eunsoo went into the room, put on an outer layer, and came out. In the meantime, Hyukjoo was pouring warm tea into a thermos.
Carrying a large bag with various snacks, he held Eunsoo’s hand, who had not changed into pajamas yet, and went outside.
Unlike Seoul, where buildings are densely packed, and only sparsely placed streetlights illuminate the side of the road, the neighborhood was so dark that it was impossible to distinguish one place from another.
Hyukjoo’s words about going to the deep mountains, which I thought were a joke, turned out to be true.
The pine trees faintly illuminated by the car headlights indicated that the winding road they were driving on was a mountain road.
Eunsoo opened the window slightly.
As the cool breeze blew, she looked up at the sky beyond the window, where the stars were twinkling.
“Wow!”
It had been a very long time since Eunsoo had seen stars sparkling like this, and she exclaimed in admiration.
It was truly beautiful.
“The sky is clear, so the stars look even better.”
“Is that so?”
Hyukjoo smiled, looking at Eunsoo, who liked looking at the stars.
A bit further up, there were cars parked by the side of the road. Like them, these were cars that came to see the stars.
Entering the parking lot, Hyukjoo found an empty spot and parked the car. Then he got out of the car and went to the passenger side, opening the door for Eunsoo. He held her hand to help her get out more easily.
Hyukjoo pointed to the stairs in front of them.
“Shall we sit there?”
“Yes.”
Eunsoo nodded in understanding, and Hyukjoo took out a soft little mat from the bag and laid it on the stairs.
“Have a seat.”
Once Eunsoo sat down, Hyukjoo unfolded a blanket and covered her knees. Then he sat beside her and wrapped his arms around Eunsoo’s shoulders.
“There are so many stars. It feels like I’m seeing so many stars for the first time since I was born.”
“Beautiful, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“I want to show you only beautiful things like this.”
“Thank you.”
Eunsoo said with a gentle smile. Hyukjoo looked at her with affectionate eyes.
However, at that moment, two people appeared in the darkness, fists clenched.
“Oh, Eunsoo?”
Quickly pulling his arm out of Hyunsoo’s grip, Saebyul spoke.
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?”
