The amusement park was the same as it was five years ago.
Dohan felt a sense of novelty since that time.
The large tree model visible as soon as they entered the entrance was delightful.
He was grateful for the unchanged scenery.
It felt like going back five years.
Just like back then, Isarang was by his side.
The only difference was that he was now holding her hand.
It was sad but fortunate that it took five years to hold this hand again.
“Where should we start?”
Looking around at the rides, Sarang asked.
Her excitement heightened with the screams of people around her.
“As long as it’s not something spinning round and round.”
Sarang looked at Dohan unexpectedly.
He thought she would handle rides without any issue.
“You’re scared of that?”
“It’s not that I’m scared; it just makes me dizzy.”
“Then how about that? The roller coaster.”
“…That seems like it would be dizzying too.”
When his forehead wrinkled, Sarang found it suspicious.
“Could it be that you’re afraid?”
“No.”
It felt like it wasn’t a straightforward denial.
“It seems like you’re scared of it.”
“I said I’m not.”
“Then let’s go on that. It’s the most fun and the scariest here. Will you be okay?”
She pointed to the place she had indicated a little while ago.
It was a ride where a train moved rapidly, cutting through the sky from a dizzying height.
It was also where the loudest screams echoed.
Since it didn’t spin, there wouldn’t be dizziness. Even if it was scary.
Dohan reluctantly nodded.
He wasn’t enthusiastic about it, but if he refused to go on, he felt like he would be seen as a coward.
“Will you resent me later?”
“I’m not scared.”
“Really?”
To reassure her, he took her, who kept checking, and stood in line.
It was an opportunity to show her.
Dohan hadn’t been to an amusement park much, and he didn’t have many experiences riding the attractions.
Each time, the feeling of his heart chilling wasn’t pleasant.
He wasn’t particularly interested in anything fun, so he didn’t actively try to ride.
Nevertheless, he wasn’t the type to be afraid of everything.
Well, it’s just an amusement ride.
Even kids in elementary school were in line; as an adult, could he not ride?
Moreover, Isarang, who seemed timid, could ride.
Dohan casually glanced at where the screams were coming from.
Seeing it up close, the height of the track was higher than he thought. Despite his will, his chest beat a little faster.
“Have you ridden this before?”
“No.”
“If it’s your first time, it can be really scary.”
“All amusement rides are the same.”
Seeing him tense, Sarang restrained herself from saying what she wanted.
Let’s see if she can say that in a little while.
The line moved faster than expected.
“Shall we hold hands?”
When it was their turn, Sarang got on the train with a bright smile.
For some reason, it felt like she had caught her boyfriend’s weakness and she seemed proud of herself.
Opportunities to see Dohan’s weak side, known for being severe, are rare.
“Fine.”
Whether he noticed the teasing or not, he frowned.
“See you later then. Don’t scream too loudly.”
As Sarang finished speaking, the train started moving.
As with most amusement rides, the beginning was leisurely.
And, as with most amusement rides, extreme terror awaited at the end of that leisure.
While the train raced and dropped chaotically, screams echoed from front and back.
Sarang couldn’t help but scream, feeling the sensation of her heart dropping.
Although he had ridden with friends in high school, it had been so long that it felt dizzying as if experiencing it for the first time.
Especially due to the track made of wood, he felt an even greater sense of horror.
The creaking sound as the train passed made it seem like the track would collapse at any moment.
Moreover, the safety bar covered the stomach, not the shoulders, so when the train descended, it felt like people would shoot up into the sky.
By the time they felt exhilarated, they were back at the entrance.
Sarang breathed a sigh of relief once outside.
“Wow, I can’t ride it twice. I admit that oppa is fearless.”
While I kept screaming, he remained quiet the whole time.
Well, that’s true.
It was absurd to think that Dohan would be afraid of amusement rides.
Sarang turned her gaze to him with her thumb raised.
But somehow, Dohan’s face didn’t look normal.
“Oppa?”
“Huh? Yeah.”
His expression seemed absent-minded, as if he had left his soul on the train.
His pale complexion was downright embarrassing.
Just as there are people who scream when scared, there are others who, conversely, can’t make any sound, as if their breath is cut off.
Dohan seemed to be the latter.
“Amusement rides are all the same.”
“Yeah. They’re all similar, right?”
Dohan made an effort to regain his composure and focused his eyes.
It was the first fear he had experienced since birth.
Why are there such rides?
It was incomprehensible how elementary school students could ride them.
He’d rather spin around and feel dizzy.
This felt like jumping from the tallest building.
When male lead is the homewrecker
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
I’ve read the novel below twice already. Girls, I’m highly recommending it to you!
The female lead? Not a good person.
The second male lead? Not a good person.
The male lead? Willingly plays the third party, breaking up the female and second male lead’s relationship despite all the warnings from his friends—so yeah, he’s definitely not a good person either.
Basically, nobody in this novel is simple-minded or without scheming.
The female lead starts off as the male lead’s secretary, but don’t worry—later on, she takes over the company while the male lead steps back to support her. He won’t steal her spotlight, overshadow her, or dull her shine.
I love novels where men are out here snatching wigs, tearing each other down, and going to war just to win the female lead’s affection. And this is exactly that kind of novel. Most of Hai Dai Ran’s works have this dynamic. You’ll see the male characters’ emotions being pushed to the absolute extreme.
There’s even a scene where the second male lead exposes the male lead online for being a homewrecker. The brotherhood immediately gangs up on him, dragging him through the mud. I find it compelling —it completely flips reality on its head, where usually, women are the ones fighting over a man and getting torn apart by the sisterhood.
For me, female leads in the novels I read should only struggle in their careers, not in love. But if the brainless romantics in the story are all men? I have zero complaints.
I’ve pretty much read all of Hai Dai Ran’s novels and even translated all of them—her works are just my thing. I’ll slowly upload everything here. One day, when my website is official, I hope I can invite her to join as one of the star authors.
Here’s the story synopsis:
One-line summary: She is his lifelong obsession, to the point where he was willing to be a third wheel, scorned by society, just to wedge his way into her relationship with her fiancé.
Cold-hearted and indifferent female lead + Scheming and subservient CEO male lead
Intro 1:
“I know she doesn’t love him.”
With blood trickling from his clenched fist, Rong Xiu gazed at the woman before him, his eyes clouded with anguish. Hidden in the wardrobe, he had witnessed Fan Xia – the woman he desperately loved – in an intimate embrace with her fiancé. Yet his heart still yearned for her, defying all reason.
Fan Xia, the elegant and composed assistant, carried something mysterious in her eyes whenever she looked at her fiancé, Wen Lan Sheng. Strange occurrences began to surface – secret meetings with the young Gu Jin Yi, an unexplained withdrawal of 5,000 yuan… Then suddenly, her fiancé’s sister, Wen Jing, violently attacked her.
In this matriarchal society, Rong Xiu had risen to become the chairman of a powerful healthcare conglomerate, breaking through gender prejudices. But for the first time, he willingly stepped into the shadows as the other man, disregarding his friends’ warnings to become her secret lover.
Because he had discovered the truth – Fan Xia wasn’t the pure angel everyone believed her to be. And perhaps, he was the only one capable of helping her execute her mysterious plan…
Intro 2:
Rong Xiu’s biggest regret in life was missing out on Fan Xia.
He secretly loved Fan Xia for 7 years.
Watched her go public with her boyfriend.
Watched her kiss her boyfriend at their wedding.
Until that man blissfully nestled in Fan Xia’s arms, obtaining everything he could only dream of.
The crazy jealousy stripped away his hidden secret love, layer by layer, burning like wildfire.
Fan Xia, how can I have you!
