In fact, the shackles could be cut at any time, but the time spent with Riche was too happy to let go.
But now it was really time to part.
“Trari…che?”
Morgan, who shifted his gaze to call Riche, was startled when he saw two pairs of eyes staring at him up close. Riche’s face, which came close to his nose, slightly blushed, feeling the warmth of Morgan’s hand in the pocket.
Flustered, Morgan quickly composed himself and smiled with a puzzled look.
“Why are you staring at me like this? Like a squirrel. Do you have something to say?”
“Morgan, can you only cut the shackles?”
Riche’s eyes twinkled. It was after the conversation with Pythonus. Why is the previous year’s winner of Cexcelphon looking for magic and students when he is right there?
Morgan’s sealed ability was magical, not sword skills.
[With a sword that can cut down Ora, these annoying shackles would easily be severed in one go!]
Being unlucky is a bit worrying, but winning isn’t just about luck.
As Pythonus said, Morgan nodded.
“Yeah, it’s possible.”
“Really? Then, Morgan, it’s frustrating, so can you just cut the rope for now?”
“Well, I’m not frustrated. If Trarishe wants it, I’ll cut the rope first.”
Riche discreetly pulled her hand out of Morgan’s pocket and put it into her own pocket. Under the table, the short length of the extended shackle connected each other’s pockets.
They planned to secretly cut the rope away from people’s eyes.
Morgan loosened the sword sheath around his waist and brought it up to his thigh. The decoration attached to the sheath briefly entered Riche’s view.
‘The sheath has such decorations.’
The matte black glass decoration looked beautiful. Maybe Morgan would tell her where he bought it later.
“I’ll cut it.”
When Morgan gripped the sword handle and spoke to Riche, a knife flew in accurately, cutting the shackle’s rope and deeply embedding into the sofa’s back.
“Trarishe! Are you okay?!”
“… A knife?”
Morgan quickly pulled Riche’s hand out of the pocket and patted her. Fortunately, the length of the extended rope was short, so there was little recoil when the rope returned.
After confirming that Riche was unharmed, she quickly examined the cut shackle and the knife stuck in the sofa. The cut was clean, and the knife was deeply embedded.
It was undoubtedly a knife without Ora, but it had such power.
“…Ah.”
Morgan, who turned his head in the direction the knife came from, made an exclamation.
Then, over Riche and Morgan’s heads, one person’s shadow was cast.
Noticing the presence, Riche turned her head to confirm the owner of the shadow and froze.
“Oops.”
“…Morgan Dayle.”
The red eyes glowed ominously.
Behind Deon, Philip eagerly whispered towards Riche.
‘Miss!’
‘Philip?’
‘That young master, something bad happened!’
That’s it. He witnessed them holding hands through the glass as if they were about to kiss.
Deon and Philip, who were walking by, stiffened.
“Brother, b-brother? It’s a misunderstanding! Definitely!”
Philip followed Deon, who entered the cafe without saying anything.
Then he was shocked. Deon, who threw the knife from the table near the entrance.
‘Ugh!’
He thought Deon would be angry, but he didn’t expect him to throw a knife!
If he could see the aura of abilities like Miss Riche, his lord’s aura would undoubtedly be red now.
The red color that appears when abilities breathe.
As Philip expected, Riche’s face looking at Deon was bewildered.
“What are you doing with my sister right now?”
He probably said he would die if he dated my sister.
Seeing Deon like that, Morgan smiled awkwardly.
‘This is not good.’
In my memory, Derkedion was a tremendous fool for his little sister.
“…….”
Lily, hiding below the closed window, stared at the quieting bushes.
She almost got caught. The pounding sound of her heart resonated in her ears. Lily’s light blue eyes trembled.
‘This is bad.’
A little while ago,
Lily was on her way to Riche’s greenhouse, relying on an umbrella under the scorching sun.
She didn’t have a hobby of touching the soil, but when Riche returned, she wanted to present flowers she had grown in a pot as a gift.
“Riche unni, a winning gift filled with my heart.”
“Lily grew them herself…? I’m touched. There’s no one like Lily!”
“Then can I be your sister forever?”
“Of course!”
Then, moved Riche would hug her tightly, and thus, the bond between Riche and her would become stronger than before.
‘Hehehe, rather than relying on Robenhafu Oppa, it’s quicker for me to personally take Riche unni’s sister position.’
Imagining the successful plan full of personal feelings, Lily was happily walking.
“Will you mess with Trarishe Rodwick…?”
Suddenly, she heard someone’s voice coming from the open window on the second floor.
‘Riche unni’s name?’
Wanting to shorten the time to go to the greenhouse, Lily chose a shortcut. Since students didn’t use this path, there was no one on the way except for Lily.
“…….”
Looking around, Lily carefully folded her umbrella and quietly walked towards the window, taking a position behind the gardener.
She had to be careful not to be caught eavesdropping by someone.
“Yes. I am also worried about that power.”
The voice from the second floor was heard again. It was a rigid voice without any flexibility. It was Professor Rumblela Ismatic.
Judging from the mixed noise in the opponent’s voice, it seemed like they were communicating.
‘Why is Professor Rumblela talking about Riche unni?’
Lily pricked up her ears towards the second floor. Rumblela didn’t consistently produce the same volume, making it impossible to hear the entire conversation.
But then, Rumblela’s voice became clear.
“Using Trarishe Rodwick as bait to manipulate the abilities of others !”
‘What?’
Surprised, Lily raised her head. Rumblela’s face suddenly appeared beyond the window sill as he approached.
If he came a little closer, Lily would be reflected in Rumblela’s eyes.
‘I-I shouldn’t get caught.’
Startled by the sight, Lily took a step back, accidentally touching the umbrella placed against the wall.
Rustle.
The sound of the umbrella falling was loud. Then, silence from the second floor and Rumblela’s hand slowly holding the window.
It was at that moment when Lily, flustered by her unexpected appearance, took a step back, knocking over the umbrella.
Creak. Someone held Lily from behind.
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!
