About 10 minutes later, the shooting resumed.
The PD, who returned behind the camera, spoke to the editor as if giving a warning.
“For Yoo Jung-hwa’s part, use editing. Don’t worry about the shortage of broadcast footage. Taeseojun has agreed to a separate personal interview.”
“Isn’t a 1:1 interview with Taeseojun the first for our broadcasting station? Isn’t this a scoop?”
“Just know it.”
“By the way, did Yoo Jung-hwa say something false and make Taeseojun angry?”
“It seems so. He said he watched everything from the first recording. Anyway, we decided to act like we don’t know anything today, so instruct the staff well.”
Whatever the case, the satisfied PD’s eyes crinkled with a long tail.
On the stage, the host, like a veteran broadcaster, smoothly continued the story from the moment Taeseojun appeared. The participants also created a natural atmosphere in sync with him.
“I just asked Director Yoon a question, but can Taeseojun answer it directly?”
Starting with a smirk, Jun’s story was clear and concise.
“The cold-blooded Taeseojun opened his eyes to love because of Soyeohwa a thousand years ago. Although the character of Taeseojun in the work may be different, I acted as a man who couldn’t let go of his first love from a long time ago. Immersing myself in that thought made it easier to capture the emotions.”
In other words, even though it was difficult for a person to change and capture emotions, thinking about Eom Soyeon throughout, the immersion became even better.
“……!”
“What, what, what! How can you say such things when I’m here? Taeseojun, what does that make me if you say that? Huh, unbelievable!
Not chosen as Seojun’s one pick, Minjeong dug her fingernails deep into her palm.
Yoo Jung-hwa also forced down a bitter smile. She didn’t even know that Taeseojun would appear, and she was aware of how people would perceive her excited and cheerful demeanor.
After finishing his words, Seojun casually placed his hands, with interlaced fingers, on his long crossed legs.
Soyeon willingly endured humiliation and implicit mockery. Seeing her endure it all and even displaying a calm smile, Seojun newly realized that sometimes letting go of pride could preserve one’s dignity.
Her determined perseverance might look pitiful. But that was just Soyeon being Soyeon. That was Soyeon, and without her, what could he possibly do?
Tomorrow, when the shooting ends, Seojun, who moved early to this side to return to Seoul with Soyeon, waited in the car for Soyeon’s shooting to finish.
Although he didn’t enter the filming site, he watched everything from Part 1 to Part 2 through the live video that Park Sung-ho transmitted from the scene.
As the shooting for Part 2 was about to begin, the anger that had risen to his neck due to the misbehavior of Yoo Jung-hwa and Oh Minjeong, which he had been enduring, became unbearable. Although it was an outdoor stage, he could see Soyeon directly under the moonlight.
At that moment, Director Yoon, who happened to meet him, called Seojun onto the stage during the recording. Seojun had no reason to refuse.
So, he gracefully trampled on the two misbehaving women.
However, compared to the misfortune suffered by Soyeon, it was far from sufficient retaliation. Seojun’s dark pupils, full of the still unspoken pity, continued to linger on Soyeon.
As if tenderly caressing her wounded soul.
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?”
