Hyunseong Group headquarters.
“Vice Chairman, good to see you.”
As Ha Joon entered the building, the employees in the lobby hurriedly greeted him.
“Isn’t the Vice Chairman looking dashing today?”
“Indeed, it’s as if the clothes are wearing the Vice Chairman.”
“Handsome as he is, he is fluent in five languages and unparalleled in his business abilities.”
“Plus, he’s the eldest son of the Chairman. What more could you need?”
Admiration for Ha Joon poured from the female employees.
Vice Chairman Min Ha Joon of Hyunseong Group, a corporation on the rise both domestically and globally.
His title alone was perfect, but the attention from the world was understandably focused on him due to his even more perfect appearance.
As always, the lobby was filled with the pink hearts of female employees directed towards Ha Joon.
“But isn’t the Vice Chairman too cold? His expression and the way he stabs people in the heart without a care.”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the lobby cooled down rapidly due to a comment from a female employee.
“She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”
“Excuse me? What do you mean…”
“That’s the charm of the Vice Chairman.”
“Charm?”
Whether she was slow or just couldn’t contain her curiosity, the female employee asked with wide eyes.
“Appearing cold normally, but showing an endlessly caring side only to his woman. That’s the real charm point.”
“Oh. So, the Vice Chairman has a girlfriend.”
From her reaction, she seemed to be a new employee who hadn’t been with the company for long.
“A girlfriend! What nonsense!”
A listening employee suddenly raised his voice.
“It’s not that it’s actually like that, but rather, it’s a wish. Along with the hope that the other person would be me.”
The surrounding employees all nodded vehemently as if agreeing to that statement.
“Where are you going today?”
Dae Eun asked, seeing Su Ah getting ready to go out early in the morning.
“I’m going to the Korean Hospital to drop off some art class supplies in advance.”
“Why? You can take them on the day of class.”
“The nurse said she’d show me how to arrange the desk and other things today. I thought I’d drop them off while I go to hear the explanation.”
“Is that so?”
Dae Eun’s gaze moved to the large bag next to Su Ah.
“Yes.”
“It looks heavy. Can you carry it alone? Shall I give you a ride?”
Ah, right. Jung Dae Eun got a car a few days ago?
It really hits home that she’s the only daughter of a wealthy family when she splurges on big things like this.
“Oh, that would be greatly appreciated, Ms. Dae Eun.”
The honorific changed in an instant.
“You only call me Ms. Dae Eun at times like this.”
“Hey! It’s something that I call you Ms. even at times like this.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Dae Eun, who quickly agreed, grabbed the car keys and took one handle of the bag with Su Ah.
“What on earth is in here that it’s so heavy?”
“Sketchbooks, crayons, colored paper? I guess it’s heavy because there are a lot of papers.”
“How were you planning to carry this heavy thing by yourself?”
“I was going to take a taxi. The drivers usually help, don’t they?”
The two of them grunted as they managed to load the bag into the car, and Dae Eun’s car quickly arrived at the Korean Hospital after navigating the busy roads.
Su Ah, who confirmed their arrival at the destination through the window, took out the bag that had been loaded in the trunk.
“Do you want me to wait if you’ll be out quickly?”
Dae Eun asked, sticking her head out the codriver’s window.
“No, I’m planning to drop by the bookstore on my way back.”
“Oh, is that so? Got it.”
Su Ah waved her hand and went into the hospital, and Dae Eun soon started the car.
In the vice president’s office, where the buildings of Gangnam city were clearly visible.
The place where the sunlight streaming in through the large picture window gathered. Ha Joon was sitting there, shining brightly.
“Please review this matter again, enhance it further, and relay to submit it again.”
Ha Joon handed over the approval board he held to Secretary Park.
Was it because he had been tormented by nightmares all night and lost sleep? His face was full of fatigue.
“Vice President, there are no external schedules set for today, it would be good if you took a break.”
“I’m fine.”
As expected. Secretary Park did not add any further words as if anticipating his answer.
A person who had been focusing solely on company work without a single vacation since joining the company.
His demeanor was such that it seemed as if a ghost who couldn’t work and died was haunting him.
Rest for such a person? Upon reconsideration, it felt like an utterly absurd suggestion.
“I will visit the Chairman for a moment.”
As if unconcerned about Secretary Park’s worried expression, Ha Joon picked up his jacket and left the vice president’s office.
In front of the Chairman’s office.
“Vice President, how do you do.”
The chief secretary of the Chairman’s office stood up and greeted him.
“Is the Chairman in his seat?”
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?”
