Does anyone else know this side of Tae Seo Jun?
The more she thought about it, the more So Yeon found him annoying.
Seo Jun, seemingly entertained by So Yeon’s inability to respond, calmly cleared his untouched tray and returned to the table.
Won Hu, who had just finished eating, looked at So Yeon and opened his mouth.
“I have a proposal for Ms. Eom So Yeon.”
“A proposal?”
“Yes. It’s not a demand, but since Mr. Cho In Ha here wants to help you, how about you two work together?”
The former representative was talking about oneonone training.
So Yeon felt a desperate need for that, but working with Cho In Ha was out of the question. Ever since she knew about Cho’s feelings, she had avoided unnecessary contact with him, so it would still be awkward to be alone with him.
“Ah, I……”
But So Yeon couldn’t answer right away.
Cho In Ha was one of the few acquaintances she could ask about each other’s wellbeing in the harsh world of entertainment. She didn’t want to ruin the amicable relationship they had built up so painstakingly overnight.
Then, Do Soon, who knew her friend’s predicament better than anyone, stepped in.
“That won’t do! So Yeon feels very burdened by excessive care from anyone, not just from the people she’s working with. In the same context, no matter how close Cho In Ha senior is, she won’t want to owe him any favors. Am I right, So Yeon?”
So Yeon gently nodded her head, but Cho In Ha did not back down.

“I’ve heard there are quite a few people who want to tear you apart. I understand that’s why you’re working harder, but it’s not enough just to practice against a wall, right?”
When In Ha strongly showed his goodwill and tried to persuade her, So Yeon calmly replied.
“If I needed help, I would have asked the teacher at CN Academy. Why wouldn’t I know that you are showing your care with good intentions? But I’ll just gratefully accept your good intentions. I can’t take up your precious time. I’ll take care of my own business.”
Even though her voice was soft, Eom So Yeon had built up even higher walls around me than before. I had ignored it for a long time, but now In Ha wanted to break down those walls.
But having been rejected again, In Ha couldn’t keep his calm and harsh words escaped from his mouth.
“Acting is about the interaction between actors, but Eom So Yeon, you’re not good at it, are you? That’s why you don’t have anyone on your side. How long do you think you can hold out alone in this field where people love to tear you apart even more when you stay quiet?”
“Senior…….”
So Yeon’s face hardened with humiliation.
But In Ha continued to pressure So Yeon with his aggressive tone.
“Is that all? You can’t even give and take what you need, that’s why you’re having a hard time. Every task you do gets twisted and there’s no end to the unpleasant incidents. With your personality and in your situation, what more can you do? At this point, don’t you need to realize for yourself? The biggest problem is your rigid thinking that’s blocking your life.”
“…….”
It hurt even more when a close one hit the sore spot.
Moreover, wasn’t Tae Seo Jun also in this place?
Feeling as if her pitiful bare face was exposed in front of him, all So Yeon could do was to shake off the gaze that felt like crumbling with her fingertips.
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?”
