“Unni, open the door right now!”
In response to the rather threatening voice, Seol Ji-o also came out of the room.
“Who is it?”
“Juni. But why is he like this? Looks angry.”
Yeo-un smirked.
Could it be that he rushed over after hearing the news from Mom that she was dating Seol Ji-o? At this hour?
Although Yeo-un found it strange, she couldn’t leave her brother standing outside, so she opened the door. As she did, Yeo-jun swiftly entered the house.
Yeo-un widened her eyes at the faint scent of alcohol. Yeo-jun seemed to have just returned from a conference, dressed in a suit with his tie halfway undone.
“Juni, why did you come without contacting me?”
As Yeo-un spoke, Yeo-jun ignored her and rushed toward Seol Ji-o.
Well, what’s going on?
Yeo-un, turning around in confusion, saw Yeo-jun walk up to Seol Ji-o and suddenly embrace him.
Wait, why is he acting like that?
It wasn’t like him, especially considering he didn’t have a particularly affectionate personality. Could it be because he was drunk?
Yeo-un, flustered, approached Seol Ji-o to separate him from Yeo-jun, but Yeo-jun clung on and, instead, acted affectionate.
“I missed my brother so much!!”
“Haha.”
Seol Ji-o burst into laughter and patted Yeo-jun on the back.
“Okay, Juni. How have you been?”
“Uhh, it’s really been a long time. Do you remember me, Hyung?”
“Of course, I remember. You were such a cute little kid; have you grown up?”
Yeo-un, taking a step back, watched the reunion of the two men. Yeo-jun, blushing, sticking to Seol Ji-o, looked quite bewildering.
Moreover, seeing Seol Ji-o comfort Yeo-jun as if he found him cute stirred an unexpected sense of jealousy in Yeo-un.
Are they getting along so well?
Am I invisible?
Yeo-un approached Yeo-jun, grabbed him by the back, and pulled him away.
“Juni! If you’re drunk, go home gracefully. Why did you come here?”
While Yeo-un scolded him, Yeo-jun looked at her with a chubby face.
“Sis, I heard that you and Ji-o Hyung are dating. Why are you staying quiet about it? Moreover, you’re living together!!”
“What? Did Mom say that?”
Really, Mom.
It seems that he told Juni everything…! It was a bit embarrassing that her younger brother found out that she was living with her boyfriend before getting married.
However, normally, in such a situation, wouldn’t the sister worry about her, or wouldn’t she check out the person who could become her brother-in-law? Isn’t it more appropriate for such reasons to come rushing in?
“…”
Yeo-un squinted her eyes and looked at her brother.
No matter how you look at it, it seemed like this guy came not because he was worried but because he just wanted to see Seol Ji-o.
Did he have a crush on Ji-o like this…?
Although he didn’t react much even when Ji-o appeared on TV, it seemed strange.
“Stop it and sit down.”
Seol Ji-o calmed down Yeo-jun and made him sit.
Ignoring Seol Ji-o’s words, Yeo-jun sat down, still staring at Seol Ji-o’s face.
There wasn’t a separate puppy. Feeling like she could see a tail shaking vigorously on her buttocks, Yeo-un burst into laughter.
Yeo-jun suggested, with a red-nosed theme, that they all have a drink together. Yeo-un was surprised, but seeing her brother after a long time and having such an energetic younger brother, she immediately brought several cans of beer as ordered.
“Bro, cheers!”
“Sure.”
Seol Ji-o looked at Yeo-jun, who had become a fully grown man, with a strange expression.
“When we were young, we looked alike, but now that I’m grown up, I’ve changed a lot. Totally a man.”
“Yes, bro. I’m all grown up now! But, bro, are you really going to marry my sister?”
Seol Ji-o looked at Yeo-un and nodded.
“I knew it would turn out like this. It felt strange since we were young.”
“Hmph. What do you know?”
He knew something, being so small.
Yeo-un found her brother cute, speaking as if he knew everything.
“No, sis. I felt it back then too. Ji-o always came to our house for no reason. A man’s heart is something only a man can understand!”
“Really? Jun knew everything. But you, sis, didn’t know anything.”
“Sis has always been clueless. Just too kind.”
Yeo-un glanced at Yeo-jun, who was gulping down beer.
Really funny. Even though he was just a kid.
“Anyway, I’m okay with it. I approve of my brother becoming our brother-in-law! Mom was so happy when she heard about it!”
“Haha. Yeah. Thanks. Seeing you makes me so happy.”
“What’s this? You two get along so well? Makes me jealous.”
As Yeo-un muttered, Yeo-jun intercepted.
“Sis, you shouldn’t be jealous of this. Having Seol Ji-o. It’s clear he saved the country in his past life.”
“Really.”
As Yeo-un laughed in disbelief, Seol Ji-o spoke.
“I saved the country. Because I achieved my first love.”
“Ugh. Totally cheesy.”
Suddenly, Yeo-jun, claiming to feel lonely, brought up Han Seo-a.
“Han Seo-a is my ideal type… Can you arrange for us to meet once? Sister’s chance, brother-in-law’s chance?”
Thanks to that, the expressions of Seol Ji-o and Yeo-un became awkward. Han Seo-a… wasn’t the kind of woman he wanted to introduce.
Yeo-un firmly drew a line.
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?”
