Now that I think about it, she seems to go well with Tae Ha. She’s pretty, a future doctor, three years younger than Tae Ha, and her personality seems bright and positive.
Yes, someone like her suits Tae Ha.
“Can you help me, sister? Should we have a drink, the three of us?”
However, it wouldn’t be right to Tae Ha, so Si Hyun gently refused.
“Sorry, I don’t get involved in other people’s love affairs. I’ll support you from a distance.”
“Bummer.”
Ye In seemed pretty cool, she made a disappointed face but didn’t insist any further.
After changing clothes and stepping outside, Tae Ha was already there. As soon as he spotted Si Hyun, Tae Ha stopped his workout and approached her.
Ignoring Ye In, who was momentarily taken aback, Tae Ha spoke to Si Hyun.
“Let’s go. I’ll teach you lower body workout today.”
She had expected this, and had a plan. Si Hyun didn’t reply to Tae Ha but approached the fitness trainer.
“I think I need PT, can I start the class right away?”
Luckily, it was a free time for the trainer, so he gladly accepted.
“Of course. Let’s start with registration.”
Si Hyun signed up for 10 PT sessions. Her card screamed, but she decided to consider it an investment in herself. More than anything, she could avoid Tae Ha, that was a sacrifice she was willing to make.
At first, she was concerned about Tae Ha, but soon she didn’t have time for other thoughts. The trainer was tough from the start.
“Member Kang Si Hyun, you’re doing great! Two more squats, one! Two!”
After an hourlong class, she saw stars in front of her eyes.
After showering and leaving the fitness club with a tired body, her mind was refreshed. Tae Ha wasn’t waiting for her today, so she felt much more at ease.
Right, he must have gotten the hint by now!
Upon returning home, Si Hyun had just changed her clothes and collapsed onto the bed. She should have eaten something for dinner, but she didn’t have the energy to cook.
Eventually, Si Hyun opened a delivery app.
Should she order chicken or tteokbokki? But she thought, “Is it right to eat chicken or tteokbokki after spending money and working out?” Just then, the doorbell rang.
When she opened the door, Tae Ha was standing there with a tray.
“What’s this?”
“You haven’t eaten dinner yet. I made something to eat, so eat.”
On the tray was bibimbap. Looking at the beautifully topped fivecolor vegetables and eggs sprinkled with sesame seeds, she didn’t drool, but sighed.
Why is he putting all this effort into something so pointless? At this rate, it was nothing but a waste of time.
“You have a lot of women who like you, right? There are pretty and young women too.”
Si Hyun spoke with annoyance.
“I’ve seen it at the gym, there are not just one or two women looking at you. Why are you doing this to me, leaving all those women behind?”
Tae Ha stared at Si Hyun quietly for a moment and then asked.
“Do you want me to go to another woman?”
She was startled for a moment, but Si Hyun quickly steeled herself.
“Yes, please do. It’s really annoying!”
She retorted, and slammed the front door shut.
It seems that the problem is living next to Tae Ha itself. So not only at home but even when going to the gym, they are entangled.
Si Hyun thought she needed to get the money back from the newlywed house quickly, pay back Tae Ha’s money, and move somewhere farther away.
Urgent return of jeonse money required. Legal action will be taken if not returned.
Si Hyun sent a threatening email to Woo Jin.
It wouldn’t be easy to get out of the house as soon as she got it, but that was none of Si Hyun’s business. If the house doesn’t fall through, she would either get a debt or not. If the money didn’t come in on time, she was willing to sue.
If she moved, she would naturally distance herself from Su Yeon’s shop. Although it was regrettable, the priority was to distance herself from Tae Ha. It didn’t seem good for Tae Ha or herself as it was.
Since the divorce, she still hadn’t been able to see Su Yeon. She was afraid of how upset Su Yeon would be if she heard the circumstances of her divorce.
But she couldn’t keep it a secret forever, so she thought she should definitely go over the weekend and headed to the fitness club after work.
“Si Hyun unnie!”
Ye In was already there today as well. It was clear that she had put more effort into her makeup than yesterday. She was a pretty girl, but she looked even prettier when she dressed up.
“Aren’t you too pretty today? You could be in a girl group.”
“I’m definitely getting his number today.”
Ye In said with a determined look.
“If by any chance it doesn’t work out, let’s have a beer just us, unnie. That’s okay, right?”
The outcome was obvious. It felt like watching someone walk into a fire, and honestly, she wanted to stop her. But she couldn’t say ‘actually, he likes me’.
“Ah, yeah. Fighting.”
Despite cheering for Ye In reluctantly, she felt very sorry inside. She looked like a nice girl, no matter how you looked at her. It would be nice if she could meet someone nice.
A little later, Tae Ha arrived. Si Hyun turned her back after watching Ye In take a deep breath and approach Tae Ha with a tense face. She just couldn’t bear to watch it with her own eyes.
“Unnie!”
After a while, Ye In came running with a flushed face. With an expression as if she couldn’t believe it herself, Ye In’s eyes sparkled.
“I made plans with oppa to watch a movie on Saturday!”

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?”
