How the Abandoned Queen Made That Man Kneel (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 101
This was the third time Therese had seen Emperor Parnes.
The first time, on the escort ship, the situation was so chaotic that she was too distracted to notice much, and the second time, in the office, she was too busy greeting the Empress to observe him closely.
This time, at such close quarters that a stumble could bring their noses together, Therese was momentarily captivated by the overwhelming beauty emanating from Parnes.
She only now noticed that his hair was a mystical silver, like swan feathers, and that the bridge of his nose, falling straight between his brows, was strikingly perfect.
“Your Majesty, are you alright!”
Duke Ludwig checked on Parnes’ condition with what seemed like excessive fussiness.
With a barely audible sigh, Parnes tidied his disheveled clothes with minimal movements, letting that serve as his response.
“Where are your eyes, you clumsy and rude thing!”
Duke Ludwig’s harsh reprimand struck Therese’s ears like a sharp whip.
Still sitting on the floor, Therese bowed her head deeply and apologized.
She slightly raised her head, waiting for Parnes to show some kind of reaction.
Perhaps asking if she was alright, telling her to stand, or at the very least, warning her to watch where she was going.
Therese thought that even an emperor, having collided with someone, should at least do that much as a matter of courtesy.
But Parnes kept his lips sealed, as if cursed to never speak for life.
Right now, he wasn’t looking at Therese in front of him but at something far beyond her, lost in thought.
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!
