Changing the Keywords of the Dark Lords (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 51
While Delina kept watch, ready to use her ability if necessary, Dior turned his head and stared at the desserts laid out on the table.
“Were you trying to eat dessert, Calix?”
“…….”
“Dessert. Yes. Delicious, isn’t it…? Especially since our Elene loved it so much…… Yes, that’s right—we always had cake together after meals……”
‘Elene?’
Before Delina could even figure out whose name Dior had just spoken, he collapsed onto his knees as though crumbling. His shoulders trembled faintly.
“Elene, Elene…… Why did you leave me behind and go first? Didn’t we promise when we got married? We swore we’d live together forever—so why, why……?”
Dior, who had been sobbing while staring at the floor, slowly rose to his feet. Then he grabbed Calix’s shoulders firmly.
“Why did you do it?”
“…….”
“Why did you have to come out struggling so hard inside Elene’s womb? If only you hadn’t thrashed around like that—if only you hadn’t—then Elene would’ve……!”
His voice grew increasingly agitated. His eyes flashed as he continued.
“But why are you the only one eating this? Eating desserts our Elene can’t even taste? Do you really think you deserve to eat this? If only it hadn’t been you—if only it hadn’t been you, Elene would’ve……!”
The moment he shook Calix’s shoulders and pressed him, a glob of cream suddenly flew straight into his face. Seizing the brief instant Dior turned his head aside, Delina swiftly pulled Calix away from him and shouted,
“Snap out of it!”
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!

“Right. He arrived this morning. It’s about time the kid woke up, after all.”
Omg omg Omg he is actually back! I forget where he went but I’m interested to see how he could have possibly improved his skills. Looks like he still unhealthy, sleeping in so late. I think he is on the smaller side compared to the MLS.
At the voice, Mernin froze. The noble ladies and gentlemen who saw his face bega
I wonder if it is Noah, it could be Ashud. Idk id really want to see NOAHas the ML instead of the typical crown prince~ but I’m a fan either way
Celine’s murmuring about the heat gave Delina a glimpse into the terror she must
Del is so observant and really smart to notice the reason! I wonder if Celine had anything to do with her rewinding time. Honestly where did Celine even come from?!

Oh my, there seems to be some complication in the previous generation. Edwin is clearly in love with Estelle, and I sense the same between the princess and the duke.
This might be a dumb question but. How come I don’t earn coins commenting on this series? Also the comments show up immediately instead being sent for “approval”. And I’m only allowed one free “view content” a day instead of 3 like the other stories.
So the craziness has started! No one is willing to let Delina go now HAHAHA. good luck to Noah, I think he has a good chance in this story. But if we are being predictable then maybe Ashud is the Main love interest.
