At the loud voice of the man with a good throat, one by one, people gathered around.
The convenience store parttimer, who had been watching them all the time, had also come out before she knew it.
But more importantly.
“Wow, the screen is broken……”
It was her dead cell phone.
What is this nonsense…… It’s ridiculous.
“Hey there!”
From deep within her body, a fury surged, incomparable to what she had felt before.
Now, for real. Let’s go all the way, mister.
“Pay for it right now! You can see that my phone is ruined because of you, right?”
Shin Yeon pushed the lifeless phone in front of his eyes.
“What? No, you guys keep pushing me, and what happened!?”
“Ha. I can’t believe this. Mister, do you want to go to the police station?”
“Go! Go! Do you know who I am? I am, I mean, a former combat policeman, a combat policeman!”
The combat police have been gone for ages.
“Right. Let’s go! Let’s see who you are! Let’s go!”
“Huh. How dare you speak so loudly!”
“How dare you? Goodness. No, you’ve ruined other people’s property and you’re the one raising your voice!”
The situation had escalated.
When Shin Yeon did not calmly accept his words, the man raised his voice harshly.
As he attempted to charge again, even the nearby citizens began to intervene.
The one who held her back and grabbed her arm was the rookie.
“Stop it. This will only tire you out.”
The rookie, who couldn’t say a word to the man, was firm with Shin Yeon.
What? Tired?
No. Fatigue had already begun.
The moment that man shattered my phone, for which I had just started paying installments, it had already begun.
The only way for her not to be tired now was for that bastard to pay for the phone repair, that was it.
But.
“I’ll have your phone repaired.”
“Huh?”
“No, I’ll just buy you a new one. Let’s just go.”
He tried to persuade her, promising to compensate for the phone.
What, not even a repair, but he would buy a new one?
I’d see about that.
“Excuse me, newcomer! Yes, I’m upset because of my phone.”
Was I too honest?
“But it’s frustrating when Hyun Woo always does this. Why does the newcomer have to compensate for the phone that man broke? Why do you always do that?”
It’s even more frustrating for the observer, not just once or twice.
Shin Yeon felt suffocated as if he was looking at his old self.
It was the same at the company.
He always took care of the unpleasant situations when people collided with something or were in a sharp confrontation.
No, and…
His welfare points at the company are much lower than mine, so what does he mean by compensating?
His salary was still on probation.
Just because you’re in an electronics affiliate, you can’t always buy a mobile phone cheaply, you know.
Anyway, these newcomers.
Woowoo.
That’s when it happened.
A noisy siren sound began to be heard from somewhere.
“Over here! Here!”
As the sound seemed to be getting closer, the convenience store parttimer kicked the door open and gestured grandly towards this direction.
It was the police.
“Ha, really. I told you it’s tiring.”
The newcomer grumbled in dissatisfaction at the sight of the police getting off the car with the siren sound.
And his tone of voice seemed to accuse Shin Yeon of a crime.
‘What? No, it’s not me who’s going to be tired, it’s that old man!’
She looked up at him with a somewhat bewildered expression, but the newcomer just shook his head resignedly.
He even went so far as to brush his face as if expecting fatigue.
Then he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed somewhere.
“Hello, I’m sorry for this time.”
What the…?
“I think I need you to come. There’s something to sort out.”
Why does he keep looking at me with that cheeky expression…?
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?”
