Thirsty, he drank a bottle of water in one gulp. Still, the thirst was not relieved at all.

The car quickly arrived in front of the house, and after greeting the manager and getting off, Ji-hyeok suddenly thought.

“Tae-seok hyung and I have really started a competition.”

His hyung was unaware of losing. Sweat dripped from his fist.

“What on earth happened last night?”

The director threw the megaphone in frustration, saying disappointedly. The assistant director next to him nodded lightly, as if agreeing.

“It’s not a romantic drama! They are all zombies. Zombies.”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Seo Taeseok. Cheon Ji-hyeok. Yoo Yeong. The three lead actors sat there with pale, tired faces, staring blankly. The number of NGs was countless.
“No, is our shoot that difficult? Is it a murderous schedule? It’s pre-produced, right? Isn’t the production environment excellent at this level?”

While the director was reflecting on whether he was squeezing the actors too much, the actors remained expressionless, sitting still.

All three of them were not in good condition, but among them, actress Yoo Yeong was the most serious. Her skin was a mess, and especially her eyes were very swollen.

Yeong’s stylist had fixed her makeup several times, but the more she did, the more the troubles were emphasized. The stylist stood next to Yeong with a face that seemed almost ready to cry.

‘Ji-hyeok oppa likes Yeoreum unni.’

Yeong opened her eyes that she had closed and consciously turned her head back to Ji-hyeok, forcibly restraining it.

Although she had cried enough to cry last night, it seemed that she would cry again if her eyes met. It was fortunate that today’s shoot was a scene where she cries recalling the past. If it had been a happy scene, she couldn’t have digested it.

‘I liked her for ten years… Well, what’s the use of that?’

Having reached an age where he knew that a person’s heart could be shaken in just one second, Ji-hyeok even seemed like a lovely and adorable woman to Yeong.

She always said that anyone could like her, and even if she were a man, she would have definitely dated Choi Yeoreum. However, when she realized that the other person was Ji-hyeok, an itching sensation couldn’t be avoided.

Nevertheless, if the two liked each other, she could smile and cheer them on, even if her heart tore apart. However, Ji-hyeok would ultimately not achieve his goal. That also made Yeong’s heart ache once again.

‘One-sided love. It’s so painful.’

Meanwhile, the director, who had looked around the actors once more, finally sighed and admitted defeat. Yeah, it seemed like he had squeezed them too much. Let’s reflect. He mumbled to himself and eventually declared.

“Let’s stop shooting today.”

The assistant director’s eyes widened.

“Tell everyone to leave. Let’s go have a drink.”

“…What? Director, are you really serious?”

“What can we do? Then. Can we use these faces for shooting right now?”

The director bit his tongue and left.

Yeoreum opened her eyes.

Without drawing the curtains, the bright sunlight poured in as it was. It was a nice house, but today, the brightness was excessive. It was supposed to rain, but it seems the weather forecast was entirely wrong.

“Did you sleep well?”

While watering the Alocasia plant, she started her day.

After seeing Ji-hyeok off last night, Yeong woke Yeoreum up and led her to her room. She heard the words, “Unni, since I sent Ji-hyeok oppa off, unni, go into the room and sleep.” in her half-awake state.

After saying that, she disappeared again like the dawn. Thinking that she should boil samgyetang for Yeong, who was exhausted from the hard shoot, she cleaned the house.

‘Maybe I should go to the mart in the afternoon.’

There wasn’t much to clean, but organizing various messy things made it much neater. She put together the laundry she had collected, put the quilt in the washing machine, and started the quilt-shaking mode in the dryer.
Afterward, sitting at the desk and trying to organize the latter part of the script, the phone rang. It was Tae-seok.

“……Hello.”

[Can you see me for a moment?]

A voice full of despair fell heavily, passing by Yeoreum’s heart with a thud.

For a moment, Yeoreum’s heart stung, and she instinctively clenched her lips. Questions like, “Why is your voice like this?” or “Is something wrong?” almost popped out without her will.

“What’s going on?”

Suppressing her trembling heart, she tried to speak with a calm voice.

“If you suddenly call and ask to meet like this…”

[Just a moment. Look at me for a moment.]

She didn’t want to see him. The way Seo Tae-seok, who was about to cry like this, was really something she absolutely did not want to see. If possible, avoiding him was the wise choice.

With a voice so bleak, she couldn’t even imagine what his facial expression would be like. She had no confidence in facing that face and maintaining calmness. She was afraid that she might want to hug him at least a little, no matter what happened.

“Oh, no. I…”

[Yeoreum.]

“……”

[Just. Just a moment.]

He sighed deeply.

[It’s just for a moment.]

She needed to avoid it. If she firmly refused, she might be able to avoid it.

“……I’ll go home.”

Although her resolute rejection had cut through the firmly closed gate in her heart, Yeoreum pretended not to notice.

She prepared herself in a Busan-like manner, picked up her coat and bag. Then, she stood in front of the kitchen for a moment, contemplating. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally put a small bottle of homemade lemon syrup into her bag.

Maybe he caught a cold, or his voice wasn’t good for some reason. The throat was like a lifeline for an actor, and the drama’s survival depended on Seo Tae-seok. That’s why.

So, his health was absolutely necessary for the drama.

Counting one by one, there were plenty of reasons to give him lemon syrup. Yes, that’s the only reason.

Deceiving herself, Yeoreum left the house.

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?”
