All My Firsts Are You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 26
“Okay, everyone. Thank you for waiting so patiently. I can already see the audience getting restless all the way from up here.”
MC Lim Eun Ah, wearing a flowing light-green dress, opened the talk show with the clear, bright voice only a former announcer could have.
The set was a deep purple backdrop embroidered with tiny lights like scattered stars. Dozens of eyes gazing at it were overflowing with anticipation.
“Today especially, I feel like if I talk too long, the atmosphere might turn a little scary?”
Immediately, applause mixed with laughter burst from the audience seats. Judging by the embarrassed expressions, Eun Ah had hit the nail on the head.
“Still, introducing today’s guest is part of my appearance fee, so please forgive me while I take just a little more of your time.”
Some audience members were already craning their necks toward the left corner of the stage, expecting the guest to appear any second. Of course, no matter how far they stretched, the guest was still out of sight.
“If I hadn’t known beforehand that this person was a film director, I would definitely have mistaken them for a celebrity the first time I saw them. Not only do they possess outstanding directorial talent, but their stunning looks are also currently drawing massive attention. Some of you might be more familiar with the director name ‘Matsu.’ Please welcome Director Kim Jun.”
This time, every single pair of eyes in the audience instantly turned toward the left corner. As if answering their gaze, Jun appeared, tall and solidly built, wearing a black bespoke suit that perfectly highlighted his physique.
With long, relaxed strides he quickly reached the stage where Eun Ah stood.
Even though the audience’s natural duty was to greet the guest with thunderous cheers and applause, more than half of them forgot to clap and instead hurriedly covered their wide-open mouths. Gasps of admiration erupted here and there at Jun’s dazzling appearance, which the phrase “striking looks” barely did justice to.
“Woooow. If a film director looks like that, it’s totally unfair.”
“Right? He could just act in and direct his own movies. Save on actor fees too.”
A brief introduction of Kim Jun’s already well-known achievements came to an end. Shortly after, a short highlight reel from his breakout film “the train” appeared on screen.
Less than a minute later, the video stopped. Perhaps the lingering emotion hadn’t faded yet; long and short sighs began pouring out from the audience.
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!
