The shoot continued until late at night.
They deliberately scheduled it to coincide with the rain because they had to shoot a god, but it rained much more than forecasted.
Thanks to that, even if they had mobilized a water truck, they couldn’t have created a perfect background.
Today’s scene was the one where Sin Cha-hee, who encountered Moon Sung-jun, engaged in a chase and finally faced each other.
Early winter. Moreover, shooting a chase scene and action scene on a rainy night demanded tremendous stamina.
Having shot several times while soaked, repeating the process of taking cuts made his body so hot that steam rose, and even after resting briefly, he shivered with chills as if feverish.
Despite splashing warm water on his body and wrapping a towel tightly around it, it was only at that moment.
During a short break, Director Seong approached Kang and asked.
“Are you okay? How’s the one who fell earlier?”
“I’m okay.”
“There’s not much time left, so let’s gather a little more energy.”
“Okay. Don’t worry.”
Encouraging her with a pat on the shoulder after her spirited response, he left.
Director Seong also approached Shin, worrying about his condition.
Shin, who had to digest high-action scenes right after being discharged from the hospital, was a cause for concern.
“How are you feeling?”
In contrast to Director Seong, who was nervous throughout, Shin was surprisingly relaxed.
“It’s manageable.”
Smiling like that, he said it was really okay, and asked Kang to take care of him a little more, then stood up.
A few food trucks that ran out of ingredients withdrew, leaving only one coffee truck offering warm drinks.
It was the same truck where Kang had her first cup of coffee.
“Unfortunately, it’s even harder on you with the rain.”
In response to Shin’s words, the truck owner smiled kindly.
“Oh, I’m sure the actors and the filming crew have it harder than me.”
The woman, who laughed off the familiar situation, asked Kang.
“Would you like a warm grapefruit tea? We also have barley tea and green tea.”
“Then, I’ll have a cup of barley tea, please.”
“Sure. Please wait a moment.”
As she poured warm barley tea, a rich aroma spread.
“The scent.”
“…”
“It’s very strong.”
Shin and the woman exchanged glances in the air, and both of them smiled without anyone suggesting it.
The warmth of a cup of warm tea was desperately needed on such a night.
After a short break, shooting resumed.
The woman, who was sitting on the food truck looking at the pouring rain, gazed at the sky chin on her hand.
Kurung Dash, Kurung Dash.
The sky poured rain as if it had holes, and occasionally, thunder could be heard, making it quite an uncomfortable night.
However, the woman looked at the scene as if it were quite enchanting.
“The rain is… quite scary, isn’t it?”
She murmured to herself, and her mouth stretched out for a long time.
“It’s a good night to have a nightmare.”
Shin-hwi’s injury occurred less than an hour after resuming shooting.
During the action scene with Kang, who was rolling on the muddy ground, an accident happened due to a mismatch in their movements.
The end of the three-sectional staff she wielded brushed against his face, resulting in an injury where the area below his eyebrow was torn apart.
Thunk!
“Ah!”
With the dull sound muffled by the rain, Shin-hwi’s scream briefly echoed.
Falling over while clutching the injured area, Kang, surprised, quickly called his name and bowed down.
“Shin-hwi!”
“Ah…”
“Are you okay? Where did you get hurt?”
At her shout, Director Seong, startled, called out “cut” and rushed over with the staff.
“Shin-hwi! Are you hurt? Where are you injured?”
“Ah… it’s nothing. Just a slight brush from the wind…”
“It’s nothing! You’re bleeding!”
As he hadn’t put on makeup yet, it was easy to see that real blood covered his face.
Staff members with first aid kits rushed over to provide emergency treatment.
“It won’t work. We should quickly go to the hospital, and let’s call it a day!”
“No, Director. Let’s just keep shooting.”
Despite Director Seong’s attempt to stop the shoot, Shin-hwi spoke.
“We have to go to the hospital with this face. What kind of shoot can we do like this?”
He protested against the absurd suggestion, raising his voice, but he was firm.
“The area below the eyes is a place that tears easily even with a slight touch. I’m okay, so let’s finish what we started.”
“No, still…”
“Director.”
Calling Director Seong, Shin-hwi looked straight into his eyes.
Their eyes met, and Shin-hwi’s two eyes shone with a faint purple-red hue before fading away.
Seeing this, Director Seong’s pupils gradually relaxed, and he spoke with a softer tone.
“I’m really okay.”
“Ah…”
“If needed, I’ll write an agreement that I won’t hold you responsible in the future.”
In response to Shin-hwi’s words, Director Seong replied in a sluggish tone.
“No. If Shin-hwi says he’s okay, then he’s okay.”
He should have done that from the beginning.
Finally, smiling lightly, he spoke.
“After hemostasis, let’s continue.”
“Should we?”
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?”
