It was an awaited moment for a long time.
Ever since discovering that the woman who tormented young Vercheria was not her mother.
Vercheria had been waiting for the time to seek revenge on her.
“I actually prefer it now. It was really miserable when I thought I was hated just for my existence.”
“Hatred? Even though I’m overflowing with love.”
A smile spread across Vercheria’s lips.
“Overflowing with love, you say?”
“Of course.”
Lacrane lowered his waist and approached Vercheria’s lips.
“Or maybe we wouldn’t have come to meet each other this dawn.”
“We were of the same mind.”
As Vercheria stood on her tiptoes, their lips met.
Lacrane’s hand found its way between her blonde hair.
The parted lips deepened, and soft flesh met.
It felt like the touched area was melting.
In such moments, Vercheria realized how much she had longed for this sensation.
The affectionate man made Vercheria feel cherished and considerate even during a kiss.
With one hand, he embraced her waist, and as her weight shifted, his solid body remained motionless.
After living as the king of the North for a long time after the war, Lacrane was a symbol of abstinence.
He knew that the desire he had for Vercheria was an emotion valid only for her.
“Lately, when I come to my senses, I find myself thinking about you.”
A whispering push met her wet lips during the brief parting.
“I feel the same.”
Vercheria reached out and embraced his waist, sculpted with tight muscles.
Numerous scars engraved on Lacrane’s back came to her mind simultaneously.
When she first witnessed those wounds, her heart ached, thinking about the painful times Lacrane must have gone through.
Since she couldn’t change the past, it was even more regrettable.
But now, the situation had changed.
During the past time, they would be able to compensate for the pain they had both experienced.
In order to protect this love, Vercheria was prepared to do anything.
“Vercheria.”
Lacrane tickled her small and plump lips with his.
Due to her unpredictable reactions to even the slightest changes, he was the one who ended up being stimulated.
While embracing her, Lacrane buried his nose in her white neck.
At that moment, when the two people’s contact was becoming intense.
Why do you keep pretending not to know me?
A strange voice echoed.
At the same time, the movements of the two froze.
Lawrence looked up at the tall man standing in front of him, blinking his thin eyes.
“Did you notice me looking at you during the party?”
As the man spoke strangely, her head tilted as if questioning.
“Why were you looking at me?”
“…….”
The man, a giant to the extent that Lawrence felt itchy, was undoubtedly a messenger of the Emperor’s government, Riohne, in her memory.
Feriaut dispatched trained eagles everywhere, flying them and collecting information.
Unable to sleep in the early morning, she came outside, and this man suddenly followed her, pretending to know her.
“By any chance, were we acquainted?”
To Lawrence’s numb voice, the man answered with an indifferent tone.
“We were sleeping together. Are you developing other ways to stimulate me now, by any chance?”
Lawrence blinked and looked at the man, then, seemingly remembering something, he sighed and nodded.
“Ah, I get what you mean. Honestly, unless it’s something really important right now, I have trouble remembering.”
“…….”
“So, does your words mean that we should go to sleep now?”
The man, with a face as big and straightforward as his body, was looking down at the Empress of Feriaut.
“Well, if that’s what you mean, you should have said it sooner.”
Lawrence turned calmly and walked out of the garden.
The man silently watched her back and followed her.
In the now quiet garden, Lacrane and Vercheria faced each other.
“It seems like it’s time to use the Parallel Butterfly.”
The eyes of the two who witnessed the unexpected scene twisted at the same time.
Perhaps even the Absolute Deity did not expect such a situation.
The ability to witness and utilize small events made by human will was something only similar humans could achieve.
“Damn it.”
Rionne threw the wig she was holding onto the bed.
“I’ve been working so hard for this moment!”
She started to undress the dress nervously.
As she tore off the corset tightening her body, a long scar crossing her stomach was revealed.
“Hah.”
Rionne, with a tense expression, swept the scar with her fingertips.
‘Wah.’
The ignorant cries of a child taken from the slums echoed vividly in her ears.
‘Not just one! Twins. Twins, they said!’
Although she thought her belly looked unusually big, she never expected there to be two babies.
Rionne covered the beggar’s mouth, worried that the woman, who had promised to buy her baby for money, might hear.
‘Shut up.’
Before those short words ended, the door opened, and the woman who had been waiting outside walked in.
The woman who came to Rionne, whose belly was bloated, said with her own mouth.
She was going to be the Empress of Feriaut soon.
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!
