The Season of Prettiest You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 83
Ji Hyeonjeong, who had teamed up with a prestigious law firm, opted for a long and tedious legal battle.
She constantly delayed the trial, using the excuse of non-existent pre-existing conditions, and nitpicked over every minor detail to deny the allegations. She stubbornly maintained that she knew nothing and had merely been tricked by Seo Taeseok’s schemes.
The media conducted an in-depth analysis of Ji Hyeonjeong’s apparent motive—to tarnish Seo Taeseok’s reputation.
[“She probably feels betrayed. She must’ve thought, ‘At the very least, you should be on my side.’ After all, the two of them have always shown an almost unbelievable friendship in the entertainment industry. They’ve consistently promoted themselves as more like older sister and younger brother than mere business partners.”]
[“Exactly. In fact, whenever Representative Ji Hyeonjeong posted anything about Seo Taeseok on her social media, she often used hashtags like ‘younger brother,’ ‘family,’ or ‘sworn siblings.’ Now that Seo Taeseok has sided with the company during this crisis, her sense of betrayal seems immense. So, cautiously speaking, this might be a deliberate attempt to smear him.”]
The scandal between the representative and the actor—who had gone from being the ultimate partners to the worst breakup—was reported as exclusive breaking news day after day. Yet Seo Taeseok refused to make any public statement.
[“What we should really focus on is that Ji Hyeonjeong has absolutely no evidence for any of her claims. She insists Seo Taeseok stole all potential evidence himself. It’s frankly absurd. Public reaction has been ice-cold too. So why is she pushing these claims?”]
The TV host chuckled incredulously.
[“Because even without evidence, just keeping Seo Taeseok embroiled in scandal damages him. She knows very well how crucial image is. This is a classic ‘drown-you-with-me’ tactic.”]
[“Seo Taeseok’s side dismissed the whole thing as not even worth responding to. They’ve taken a firm stance not to get dragged into the mud with her. Industry insiders and fans alike are applauding that attitude—but deep down, he probably isn’t as calm as he seems.”]
She’s being so damn annoying to the very end.
Seeing that the media showed no signs of letting up, Taeseok finally decided to put an end to it—all for Yeoreum’s sake.
He himself had built up immunity and was fine, but Yeoreum was different. Every time she saw news articles popping up on portal sites, she grew anxious.
“Oppa, when will this trial end? Will it take long?”
“Oppa, Ji Hyeonjeong badmouthed you again. Can’t we say something too?”
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?”
