“The one who sincerely devotes herself to you will be hard to find in the future. Many will try to deceive you and take what you have.”
People, with cunning schemes and deceitful tongues, blinded Iyul and gradually took away what he possessed.

He had no power to protect what he needed, so it was miserable to be robbed of precious things by those who spoke in the name of being robbed.

“It is precious to have a connection with someone who truly cares for you. So…”

Was it because he was the son of a woman he sincerely loved? To Iyul, Geon was always a painful reminder.

Geon hoped that Geon wouldn’t walk the same path as himself. He hoped Geon would achieve the promises he couldn’t keep.

Iyul spoke with a heavy voice.

“Protect your people, no matter what.”

Listening quietly to Iyul’s words, Geon nodded calmly in response.

“I will do so.”

Yes, he would. He wouldn’t lose his people, no matter what happened. Even if he had to give up everything, he would protect Hong Yeonwoo, that woman, at all costs.

Geon’s gaze fell on Yeonwoo.

Yeonwoo, who had successfully pulled out an arrow from a distance, flashed a bright smile toward Geon.

Geon pledged in his heart that he would definitely protect Yeonwoo’s smiling face.

As all the events concluded, the day had unknowingly turned into evening.

Yeonwoo and Geon, who were left alone, began to prepare to return home.

Geon stared intently at Yeonwoo, who was dressed as a man, then spoke up.

“This won’t do.”

“What are you saying?”

Yeonwoo looked puzzled at Geon’s unexpected remark.

“As soon as we return, I should strip off that man’s clothes.”

“Didn’t I say I would stay as a soldier?”

“That’s not the meaning.”

Yeonwoo sensed danger in Geon’s expression, which had endured enough. Geon’s gaze toward Yeonwoo was so fiery that it seemed to burn.

“…Is that so?”

“Just as I said, I’ll strip off your clothes…”

Before Geon could finish speaking, Yeonwoo, surprised, urgently cut him off.

Then, in a low voice, he whispered carefully.

“This is the palace! How could you say such disgraceful things here…”

Even if they hadn’t spent much time alone, saying that he would undress someone in a public place was unimaginable. Moreover, in the sacred palace!

When Yeonwoo thought about how a man who didn’t distinguish the situation had spoken, Geon, who had been enduring for so long, spoke up gently.

“It’s not like that…”

After Geon slowly removed Yeonwoo’s arm, he continued speaking.

“It meant that I wanted to see you in women’s clothes. To do that, wouldn’t you have to take off this wretched attire?”
“No, go ahead and say it like that. If you suddenly say you’ll undress me, wouldn’t it be misunderstood?”

“What kind of mischievous idea did you have, you rascal?”

“It’s my fault for creating a misunderstanding. Sometimes you have the talent to cut the important words and speak, making people surprised.”

Geon narrowed his eyes and looked down at Yeonwoo.

Since he was already misunderstood as a mischievous guy, he decided to find an advantage.

Geon brought his lips close to Yeonwoo’s ear and whispered quietly.

“Above all, if you look like a man, wouldn’t I be able to hold you as much as I want?”

“!”

“Whether inside or outside, I want to hold you proudly even if you look like a woman.”

Yeonwoo blushed at Geon’s bold words.

Even when he looked like a man, Geon would hug him affectionately, but when he looked like a woman, he didn’t know what to do.

“…I really can’t stop you.”

“Do you know how hard it was for me to endure wanting to hug you earlier?”

“Earlier, weren’t you with His Majesty?”

Geon shrugged as if to say, “Yeah. I suffered pretending to be polite in front of His Majesty.”

Yeah, right. You must have suffered pretending to be polite in front of His Majesty…

While Yeonwoo was thinking about when Geon had become so clever, the voice of a man behind them suddenly stopped them.

“It seems I meet Gwangho here.”

“!”

Behind the man who appeared unexpectedly, numerous palace officials and court ladies lined up.

The Azure Dragon Robe the man wore indicated his status. A quake shook Yeonwoo’s pupils.

Although he didn’t know when the man had been watching them, the man who suddenly appeared looked at the two with a cold gaze.

Recognizing the man, Yeonwoo swallowed dryly.

‘…Is he the Crown Prince?’

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!
