He was on duty alone in the Emergency Medicine Department that day. I thought he would come to return the tablet; his personality was like that. There had been a few similar incidents before, so I could somewhat predict it.
Sure enough, when Taegyu appeared with the tablet, I couldn’t hide the overflowing smile.
How can he be so consistent?
“I’m not interested in someone who likes me. I’m not the kind of person who can commit to just one.”
“Don’t like me. I’m not someone you can have a serious relationship with.”
There was no need to say that much, but those words were quite hurtful.
A sigh burst out from Narim’s lips as she remembered the past events. The deep exhale cut through the air in the station.
“By the way, Jieunjae? I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere.”
Her train of thought was interrupted by a message arriving on her phone. It was from Narim’s mom.
[This Friday, S Coffee. We agreed to meet at 3 o’clock.]Her mom always scheduled dates like setting up a lunch appointment. How did she even know it was my day off on Friday?
I don’t want to go.
“I should just get into an accident.”
Lost in thought for a moment, someone suddenly grabbed Narim’s wrist.
“Oh, surprised me.”
“Hey, nurse, look at me for a moment.”
It was Taegyu. His grip and the look in his eyes were unsettling.
“Where are you going?”
“If you don’t want rumors spreading all over the neighborhood, just quietly follow me.”
“……. ”
“I remember everything now.”

The bathtub, where the bath bomb had dissolved, had a pink hue. Like rose petals floating on the surface, Eunjae’s cheeks were also flushed red.
Suppressing the laughter he had held back, Sunwoo burst into laughter at Eunjae’s awkward presence, who was once again gently patting the towel tightly wrapped around her white body.
“So awkward.”
Sunwoo, looking at the firmly tied knot, clicked his tongue as if displeased.
“Sit over there.”
Sunwoo pointed to the long camphorwood bench placed next to the bathtub. Holding Eunjae’s shoulders, Sunwoo turned her body toward the side where the bench was.
Perhaps due to the location, Eunjae’s body trembled at Sunwoo’s gentle touch from shoulders to arms.
In fact, there was never a moment when it wasn’t like that.
Every night, lying in the same bed, sharing the day’s events, and when our eyes met, we felt each other’s scent, spending passionate nights.
When I woke up to the familiar scent emanating from him, it was already morning, and he, having finished preparing for work, stood before me in a dazzlingly handsome appearance, as if waiting for me to wake up.
‘Did you sleep well?’ Gently asking while kissing my forehead, the touch of his hands that carefully combed my messy hair, and the warm sensation on my lips—all of these made Eunjae’s heart flutter every day.
Once Eunjae sat on the bench, Sunwoo pulled her feet, immersing them in the bathtub. Even though only her feet were dipped, it felt like her tired body was loosening in an instant.
“Were you in the kitchen all day today?”
After Sunwoo returned to the hospital, Eunjae continued her internship until just before Sunwoo came back. Standing for such a long time, my legs were swollen and painful.
“The kitchen is a mess.”
“I couldn’t clean up everything because you came early.”
“We’ll clean it up together later.”
Even Sunwoo, who had taken off his pants, sat behind Eunjae and dipped his feet in the bathtub.
“Joo Sunsaengnim and I are college alumni. Our parents also know each other well.”
Sunwoo, who pinned up his hair with a hairpin, untangled Eunjae’s tangled nape, speaking as he did so.
“We’ve been almost daily for 13 years. From school to the hospital. We’ve been together throughout internships and residencies in this hospital.”
Even though we’ve seen each other for such a long time, there was never any emotion that arose.
“Even so, there was not a single moment that looked different.”
It was an emotion that had arisen in just a few months for you.
“You told me even back then. I believe you.”
In response to Eunjae’s words, Sunwoo lightly chuckled, lowered his head, and pinched Eunjae’s nose.
“Ouch.”
“Would someone who believes just open their eyes wide and follow along like that?”
Eunjae, who was carrying her bag, suddenly turned around and glared at Sunwoo.
“What about you, Sunwoo? Why did you think Taegyu and I were like that?”
At that time, she hadn’t asked in detail. She suddenly became curious about what had misled him.
“Your friend said so, that you have someone you like and have been searching for a long time.”
“Oh, Yerim said that…”
“Yoon Taegyu told me the same thing. So, we misunderstood that we liked each other.”
At that time, he said he felt like an obstacle between them.
“Even though I knew that, I couldn’t decide whether it was right to keep you by my side or let you go, no matter how much I thought about it. Anyway, forced marriage due to my circumstances is right.”
“…”
“But I never thought of giving up.”
Sunwoo, who was behind her, hugged Eunjae tightly.
“Instead, I harbored some very bad thoughts.”
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?”
