The reason Arwin came to the villa was simple. He learned that Greian had imprinted on me.

“Congratulations, Duchess. You’ve gained a loyal dog who will only look at you and follow you for a lifetime.”

“……. Is that a joke?”

It must be a joke. Arwin’s attitude was quite light. He laughed softly as he spoke.

“To prepare for the worst, I cast a spell on the Duke. Just in case, you know, so that I could detect it if you imprint on someone.”

“…Isn’t it useless to find out after the imprint is already done?”

“Not necessarily.”

In response to my question, Arwin smiled wryly. He always seemed dangerous because he was insane, but at this moment, he seemed even more dangerous.

“If the imprinted person dies within a week after imprinting, the imprint is released.”

What? Are you kidding me?

I was astonished, my mouth hanging open, and hastily asked.

“Then, if Greian imprinted on a strict person and killed that person, would the imprint be released?”

“No way.”

Arwin raised his eyebrows in an eight-shape. His expression seemed to be scolding me for thinking of such a cruel idea.

I was shocked and bit my lip. No, you’re the one who said something cruel!

“You don’t need to kill the imprinted person. Just momentarily stop their heart. That’s enough.”

“Is that enough…?”

“Yes, if the heart stops even for a moment, it is recognized as the death of the person, and the imprint is released. As I mentioned, it must happen within a week after imprinting to be effective.”

After a week, even if the person’s heart stops, the imprint won’t be released.

…Listening to this, I suddenly became curious. If the imprinted partner dies, what happens to the wolf beastkin?

“During the imprint period, the wolf becomes very territorial toward other males and tends to become overly protective of the partner. That’s why, like this…”

“Growl…”

“If I just touch the Duchess and slightly raise my magic, he acts like he’s going to kill me. As you can see.”

The wolf that dug into the space between Arwin and me exposed its teeth toward Arwin. And the rabbit too. It growled, revealing its front teeth. No, why are you…

“Lady April, I swear I haven’t done anything to the Duchess. I just slightly raised my magic to see the Duke’s reaction.”

“Kaang.”

“Lady, you used to treat me so well… I’m really disappointed.”

Arwin took out a handkerchief and theatrically wiped away tears. The rabbit ignored Arwin and kept poking the wolf’s head with its front paws.

…Anyway, Greian and April only seem to match well when they are in their animal forms.

“…Anyway, for a while, the Duchess will have to suffer in various ways.”

“…?”

“The Duke has strong self-control, but still… don’t let your guard down, and, um, I’ll give you this. Press the button in case of an emergency.”
…What is this? I accepted the bracelet Arwin offered, feeling puzzled. It was a leather bracelet with a red gem that looked like a button embedded in it.

Arwin put a necklace similar to this bracelet around the wolf’s neck and explained.

“Duchess, don’t worry; this is not a harmful item.”

…No, it’s a bit scary. Is this really okay? If I press it, will the wolf get an electric shock or something like that? That would be animal abuse!

“Oh, and for the next week, it’s safer to stay in this villa. As I mentioned, the wolf during the imprint period is not quite normal, so various unexpected situations may arise. It’s better to avoid contact with others as much as possible. And, um…”

Arwin briefly examined the wolf’s condition and continued.

“Perhaps at night, the Duke will briefly return to a human form. However, he will still be in a state almost like a beast, so be careful.”

A state almost like a beast?

Does that mean he comes in the form of a wolf but acts like a human? Lick my face or something?

‘Ugh.’

“After a week, the Duke’s condition will return to normal, so don’t worry too much.”

Well, even if you say not to worry…

I looked down at the wolf with an uneasy expression. When our eyes met, the wolf wagged its tail like an innocent puppy.

The rabbit was taken away by Arwin, who said he would take care of it. April tried to stick to me like gum, but after Arwin whispered something quietly, she reluctantly backed off.

…What kind of words persuaded the stubborn rabbit?

‘Come to think of it, Arwin told me to check near my heart…’

Since I was planning to take a bath anyway, I took off all my clothes and stood in front of the mirror. And as soon as I checked near my heart, I was surprised.

‘W-What is this…?!’

There was a pattern engraved near my heart. It wasn’t very large, but it was vivid enough to be clearly seen up close.

The pattern had a bluish light, and it was a complex and geometric structure. At first glance, it resembled a crescent moon.

“It’s in a place covered by clothes, so it probably won’t show normally…”

It feels strange. Having something like this on my body.

The fact that Greian imprinted on me… honestly, it still feels dreamlike and unbelievable, but it didn’t feel that bad.

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!
