The world I’ve been isekai’d into, apart from the ‘exotic’ parts, is surprisingly ordinary.
Once you leave school, it’s not much different from the world I originally belonged to.
Even when I went to the supermarket, it wasn’t a fundamentally different world to the extent that even the tasting corner aunty could talk about being ranked 0th in the world.
In that sense, weekends without going to school were very precious to me.
“[Jueun, this isn’t the time for this!]”
This darn system doesn’t turn off even on weekends, which is a problem.
“He’s not getting tired, is he?”
I listened to the system’s words with one ear and rolled around in my room with the other.
“Oh, I think I’ll live.”
The stress that had built up in me during the week because of the Three Big Boys had somewhat eased.
It would be nice if it were this quiet all the time…
But this peace didn’t last long.
“[Let’s go outside! Let’s explore the exotic world together!]”
Ugh, how bothersome.
I scowled and flipped the blanket.
But then, the conversation window suddenly appeared even inside the blanket.
“[Jueun!]”
“Whoa, surprised me.”
I settled my surprised heart after looking at the system and sat up.
I shouted, “Oh, let me rest for a bit!”
“[>ㅁ<!!]"
The conversation window trembled and shrank timidly.
Looking at the completely crumpled conversation window, I felt like I had done something wrong.
"…I'm sorry again."
There's no helping it.
I let out a deep sigh.
"Alright, fine, I'll go out."
Then, the conversation window, as if to say, "When did I ever say that," returned to its original size and shone brightly.
"Great! Let's go out quickly! ^0^"
…Feels like something's fishy.
I felt uncomfortable, but I had already said I would go out.
Alright. Since I had to go out today anyway, let's think positively.
"…You're right, I'll go out. But I'll go wherever I want, and you can't say anything about it."
"[Okay~]"
They respond well.
I touched the conversation window once out of frustration and then put on the hoodie hanging on the chair.
"No way anything will happen. It's not like I'm going to school."
I checked the time on my phone.
1:00 PM.
It was a lazy weekend afternoon.
Today’s destination was the supermarket.
“We have a sale today. Try some dumplings before you go!”
No one would be curious, but today’s schedule was like this.
I would go to the mart near my house, buy some food, and then roll around at home again. The end.
“[Mart! Mart! It doesn’t suit the exotic world here! >ㅁ<]"
The system seemed dissatisfied, but I decided to pretend I didn't see it.
After picking out some food, I headed for the checkout counter.
"Oh yeah, there's a sale."
My basket was light. Since I usually ate all my meals at school during the week, buying food for the weekend was sufficient.
Since I lived alone, I didn't need to think about other family members.
"I'm just a high school girl living alone in a one-room apartment here."
I'm not an orphan, but I probably had a family somewhere. It seemed like they were living separately due to some circumstances. We didn't contact each other much.
In my original world, my parents divorced when I entered high school, so I lived alone… but this world's timeline is a bit twisted, so I don't know.
"Come to think of it, are these really my parents?"
I suddenly became curious.
As if sensing my thoughts, the system immediately provided an answer.
"[Yes! This world is based on Jueun's past!]"
I see.
It felt strange.
"…Is it before my parents got divorced?"
Originally, my parents divorced when I entered high school. So, I lived alone… but because the time frame here is twisted, who knows.
"It's been a long time since I saw their faces."
Since entering college, I've lived almost like a guy, so I hardly remember faces now.
It wasn't like our relationship was that good from the beginning, so I don't particularly have any lingering feelings.
"It's been a long time since I met not only my parents but also my friends."
I've been living alone in a place without any connections due to my job, and my human relationships have all fallen apart.
Living far away and everyone being busy made it difficult to see each other's faces.
Gradually, we stopped contacting each other.
A monotonous life that repeated every day.
I'm a loner…
As I thought about it, I became sad.
"My life was lonely."
In this regard, it was just a typical isekai story, with the only difference being the absence of a reincarnation truck.
Usually, isekai protagonists shouldn't have a desire to return to their original world, so their current lives should be miserable.
I'm weak in that regard too… but if you think about it from the perspective of being dissatisfied with reality, it's not that different.
But still, not going back to my original world is something that only lucky individuals reincarnated into a fantasy world would do.
"I'm definitely going back."
Regardless of the circumstances, I still had a strong attachment to my original world, so I couldn't give up.
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?”
