‘Our mom’s order is right. And more precisely, it’s Aunt’s (CEO Kang Juwha’s) order.’
They laughed simultaneously at me, saying, ‘Well, we won’t go to the police.’
Really, living here is hell.”
“…That, that… it’s all manipulated!”
The three women and Director Pyo shouted unjustly.
It was a subtly mixed diary of fact and fiction.
Moreover, they were the victims.
Silence pervaded the living room.
Breaking the heaviness, Juwha spoke.
“Just your diary as a weapon? What do those writings mean? And who would believe that stuff?”
“Of course, no one would believe it. Who would claim to be the only enemy’s heir of the PR group, suffering abuse from her grandmother and relatives? So, evidence must be attached.”
Soon, a woman’s loud voice was heard on the black screen.
『 Anyway, she’s showing her uncultured side. Who told her to wander around as she pleases? Where does she do such things! 』
Whoever listened, it was Jungmi’s voice.
『 Did you call me to say that? 』
『 Even when adults speak, where do you learn to look straight in the eyes and answer? Well, maybe you wouldn’t know, even if you were taught. All you’ve learned is cheap things.』
Employees looked at Jungmi with hateful eyes.
Then another voice was heard.
『 Jung Yeorum, haven’t you figured out the situation yet? 』
Haeun began to be bewildered.
『 Do you know you’re the granddaughter of this house? Hey, don’t misunderstand. You’re just the daughter of Kim Sejin, the enemy of your aunt Kang Juwha, and the servant, no, the slave of this house. Got it? 』
『 Slave? 』
『 Yes, a slave! 』
Behind the confused Haeun, a low voice followed.
『 Miss Jung Yeorum, legally it might be correct, but the chairman doesn’t recognize you as a granddaughter. Perhaps Miss Jung Yeorum doesn’t care if she sleeps or not in the cold room, and she won’t even sit at the family table. 』
Sophia’s face also turned pale.
『 Say good things and take down the video. And apologize, saying all of it is Jung Yeorum’s edited video out of jealousy. If not, we won’t stay quiet. 』
Summer looked at Juwha and said, “Of course, the chairman would say that this voice recording is nothing special. So, this time, I’ve prepared something else.”
A video appeared on the television screen.
Everyone involuntarily screamed.
A white object opening the second-floor window and coming out.
Anyone could see it was Summer.
Employees, watching Summer cross the balcony and fall below, screamed as if it were their own business.
Juwha’s distorted expression didn’t seem to relax at all.
But in her eyes, the secretary who stood by Summer took away her phone.
When Summer landed safely in the video, the employees, who had been relieved, suddenly became bewildered.
Juwha, holding the phone, showed it to Summer and said, “We saw the screen well. But now it’s useless, isn’t it?”
Seeing the phone in Juwha’s hand, the three women and Director Pyo heaved a sigh of relief.
Summer smiled leisurely and crossed her legs.
The corner of Juwha’s mouth twitched.
“The chairman likes objective things, right? Then admit it now.”
“What?”
“I won this time.”
“What?”
“If you like abstract and incomplete data, the typhoon it brings becomes clear, right? So, my phone was stolen.”
“Who said it was stolen?”
Summer, who was smiling, said, “I’ll correct it. Will you accept theft?”
“…You.”
“But trying to take that away is useless because I already saved it somewhere else. Don’t think about easily searching my friend’s house. The chairman has already asked someone unknown. If something happens to me, expose it to the media immediately. And, housekeeper.”
“Yes, miss!”
“Bring me my phone.”
She approached Juwha carefully.
“Chairman.”
Juwha stared at Park the housekeeper.
But inevitably handed it over.
The housekeeper handed the phone to Summer.
“Thank you. And Chairman, don’t misunderstand.”
“What misunderstanding?”
“I sincerely wish for the success of the PR Group.”
“While pulling off such a stunt from behind?”
“A stunt? I merely responded with an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and kindness for kindness.”
Juwha’s furrowed brow deepened.
“I mean it. The chairman needs to earn a lot of money because there will be a considerable inheritance for me next time, right?”
“Dream on. Who said I would give you my property?”
“Anyway, just remember that I want the prosperity of PR. And I can never tolerate those who engage in activities that reduce my future inheritance.”
With a piercing tone, Juwha said, “Wasn’t it better to take the video down when I asked you to? What’s the point of making the situation this bad and then talking about taking it down?”
“It’s called turning a bad situation into an opportunity. We can use this incident as a stepping stone for the PR Group to leap forward.”
“Do you think that’s easy?”
“If you did something wrong, just sincerely apologize. People in our country are not that harsh.”
One executive who was observing stepped forward.
“Chairman, I will take responsibility for this situation and offer a public apology.”
The executives standing next to him also agreed.
Summer said, “Strange people? What kind of public apology is this?”
“…Miss. To calm down the angry public, it’s the best method.”
For some reason, the executives, unlike before, looked at Summer cautiously.
“Did Kang Haeun do something wrong to the nation?”
“…Yes?”
“She definitely did something wrong to me and the cleaning service staff. But why do these chaebol people seek out and apologize to the nation, which won’t even happen? It’s just a ‘show.’ It might backfire, you know?”
“If that’s the case…?”
“Haeun should go and kneel down and apologize to those people she bullied. Since this has happened more than once, it’s significant for the parents to come along and apologize for their mistakes. ”
“…Hey!”
Haeun and Jungmi shouted in unison.
“Apologize politely, compensate them for mental distress and damages, reinstate them at work, and ensure no further harm. Both of you, as evidence, go with the legal team and Attorney Jo, take confirmation photos, and send me the evidence. Then I will formally withdraw the lawsuit and take down the video. That way, the public will be satisfied with the clear resolution by the PR Group, and they will understand it.”
Juwha answered Summer’s gaze with a stern look.
“Do as Jung Yeorum says.”
“Aunt!”
“…Hyungnim!”
But under Juwha’s fierce gaze, both of them fell silent.
“And, let me offer you one piece of advice, Chairman.”
Despite the displeased expression, Juwha said, “Go ahead.”
“I’ve uploaded the video a while ago, but now the chairman finally understands the situation. It seems there is someone in the group who wants to become a hidden ruler. Those who missed this crucial report, those who deliberately instructed the omission, you should definitely investigate and discipline them. There’s nothing as dangerous as blocking the owner’s way of speaking.”
Juwha turned to Director Ahn and said, “Check it.”
“Yes, Chairman.”
“And this is a bit additional. I got tired of eating and playing in this house, so I found a part-time job.”
“What kind of job?”
Everyone’s hearts froze at Juwha’s cold words, and their eyes turned back to Summer.
“A part-time job. I got a part-time job at a cafe.”
As if piercing through Summer, Juwha said, “Whose decision was it?”
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?”
