“Who is he?”
“Curious?”
Given the atmosphere, the question just naturally came out.
More than being curious about the person’s identity, it felt like an expression of interest in her story.
However, Jane’s face lit up at Kang’s reaction.
“Want to know?”
Seeing Jane’s eager eyes, Kang nodded.
“Well, I doubt I know him, so I’m not sure if it even matters…”
“He’s someone you know.”
“Pardon?”
“That hot guy.”
“……”
“Your bodyguard.”
At Jane’s words, a look of shock crossed Kang’s face.
“Is he still living on the floor above you?”
“……”
“Was his name Han San? Chief Han San, the security head?”
Oh my God, Mountain? His name is so cool too!
Jane, clasping her hands together, excitedly exclaimed with her face alight.
After recovering from the initial shock, Kang’s mind started working again.
So, the man Jane’s been talking about, the one she felt a pull towards from the very beginning…
…was San?
Caught off guard by this revelation, Kang was left speechless when the elevator doors opened.
“The elevator’s here. Let’s get on.”
Jane, with a playful smile, nudged the still-dazed Kang.
A whirlwind of thoughts raced through Kang’s confused mind.
‘…What if she asks for an introduction? Or his phone number?’
But the surprises didn’t end there.
Jane pressed the button for Kang’s floor and confidently pressed the button for San’s floor.
A startled Kang looked at her.
“……Are you going to see him now?”
Jane laughed heartily at the unexpected question.
“There’s a saying, ‘seize the mouse by its horns’.”
Under normal circumstances, Kang might have corrected her to “bull’s horns,” but she wasn’t in the mood right now.
The feeling that this wasn’t right dominated, making her think she should intervene.
However,
“But suddenly going there without even contacting him[—]”
“No problem. If he dislikes it, I’ll just come back down. So?”
…She was completely undeterred.
Keeping her composure, Kang tried to persuade Jane.
“How about I ask Chief Han first, and if he agrees, I can give you his number?”
“Why complicate things when I can ask directly? Beating around the bush isn’t my style.”
“But still[—]”
“And besides,”
“……”
“I’ve never failed.”
Before Kang could ask what she was referring to, Jane continued.
“If a woman as stunning as me shows up at his door in the middle of the night, who would refuse?”
Jane’s unwavering confidence intensified Kang’s bewilderment.
This wasn’t just about being open-minded.
While she didn’t want to meddle in someone else’s personal life, the issue was that San was the target of Jane’s assertive approach.
Kang cautiously spoke up.
“Jane.”
“Hm?”
“When you like someone, how about approaching them with more sincerity? You might end up getting hurt too.”
But Jane’s face showed amusement.
“Is it possible to see sincerity?”
With exaggerated gestures, she shrugged her shoulders and reiterated her question.
“Really? Can you see that?”
“……”
“Do you genuinely believe you can?”
Kang was rendered speechless.
Jane, mocking the advice Kang had given, continued.
“Do you think there’s no sincerity if the body gets closer before the heart? Is there a set order for that? Who gets to decide that?”
“That’s not the point, but Jane, it’s just your perspective. The other person might not feel the same way.”
“Or, just let it be.”
Her nonchalant bombshell continued with a shrug of her shoulders.
“To be honest, for someone like Chief Han, he would be a great companion even for just one night.”
“!”
“Didn’t you ever think while looking at him, how good he might be at night, or what his style might be in bed…”
“Chief Han isn’t that type of person!”
Unable to bear such blatant remarks any longer, Kang cut her off.
But Jane, with a smile as innocent as a naive child, added,
“You’ll find out eventually.”
“……”
“Why hold onto an aging body? You should fully enjoy it while it’s young and firm.”
She even offered advice.
“Live a little.”
The way she spoke wasn’t with anger or sarcasm.
It felt as casual as discussing what she ate yesterday or which movie she watched over the weekend.
Kang couldn’t interject any further due to this.
She felt they had fundamentally different values, beyond what’s right or wrong.
Meanwhile, the elevator reached the floor where Kang lived.
“Oh! Honey, we’re here. Take care.”
“Wait, just a moment……!”
“If I succeed, I’ll let you know first.”
Jane laughed as she playfully pushed Kang, who was swiftly forced out of the elevator. Jane then winked at her.
“Wish me luck.”
Between the closing doors, Jane was seen playfully waving.
Thud[—]
As the elevator doors closed, for some reason, Kang’s heart sank heavily.
Inside her head, Jane’s audacious remarks kept echoing.
‘In the middle of the night, a stunning woman like me shows up. Who’d refuse?’
‘Didn’t you ever wonder, while looking at him, how he might be during the day, or his style in bed?’
‘Why waste an aging body? Shouldn’t you enjoy it while it’s young and firm?’
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?”
