Certainly, here’s the translated passage:
One should not interfere in others’ affairs.
Especially when it comes to a love fight.
It was a saying I had heard since my previous life, so why didn’t I heed it?
Jaina stood on her wedding altar, wondering.
Why am I standing here?
As if not to miss this time, the priest who was officiating the ceremony poured out his words like a machine gun.
“Now, let’s do the kiss of the vow.”
Jaina looked at her partner’s face, wobbling at the priest’s words.
Unlike her nervous self, the groom’s face looked indifferent.
Jaina felt unfairly resentful.
‘I will never interfere in others’ affairs again!’
[This is the time separator]The novel “Evidence of Unhappiness” was a onesided love story that could not be watched without tears by the heroine Teresa Menisil.
The male lead, Maximilian Winters, was infinitely generous and kind to others, but not to his fiancée.
Always cold and irritable, he pushed away Teresa, who was yearning for love.
Then one day, a scandal erupted between Maximilian and the princess.
He was shaken by seeing a different side of Teresa in Anais, the princess known to be the emperor’s favorite.
There, the royal family and the Winters family forced Teresa to divorce for their mutual benefit.
‘It ended up in bankruptcy soon enough.’
With her body and soul shattered, Teresa hid herself with the help of the crown prince who had been taking care of her.
Of course, the male lead who belatedly realized his love ran and begged and pleaded, but Teresa, who was facing death, pushed him away.
‘It was also entirely because she was worried that the male lead would be heartbroken after her death.’
Too kind for her own good, she died alone in loneliness.
Even in her last moments, she worried about Maximilian.
Worried that he would be hurt, and hope he would find a new love, her earnest form made one cry with her.
‘How can one not love a person like this?’
Didn’t everyone think so when reading the regretful letters?
Expecting how desperately the male lead would cry, how much he would cling.
But in my eyes, Maximilian did not meet that standard at all.
Yes. So I left some malicious comments.
Maximilian, you [Star Icon][Star Icon], please attach the male lead to the heroine.
If the two are happy, that’s enough.
I will kill the male lead [Star Icon][Star Icon] and go to hell.
A bit excessive? I admit it.
But that bastard deserved to be trampled to death even if he just passed by.
‘This is an opportunity.’
I clenched my fist and looked in the mirror.
In the mirror was a beautiful woman who seemed to have just become an adult.
Her long platinum hair, so pale that it looked silver, sparkled in the sunlight.
Deep green eyes like her mother, unlike the male lead Maximilian.
A beautiful appearance that makes one turn back as they pass.
This was the form of Jaina, the stepsister who tormented Teresa.
In the original, Jaina received more hate than the main villain, the princess, or Maximilian.
A supporting character who perfectly embodied the saying that a nagging stepsister is worse than a hitting mother.
That was me.
I was possessed by Jaina, and it was before the start of the original.
Maximilian hasn’t been shaken by the princess yet, and Teresa hasn’t been hurt.
‘These family members were all biased against Teresa.’
Teresa and Maximilian’s engagement was arranged due to a longstanding friendship passed down from previous generations.
However, when it became known that the magic stone mined in Winters’ duchy could be used like electricity after special processing, the situation changed.
The magic stone quickly penetrated the lives of the imperial citizens.
The ducal family’s fortune increased at an incredible rate, and so did their influence across the empire.
The Winters family, which only lived in the north, moved its power to the capital.
‘And the royal family began to take an interest in the magic stone of the Winters duchy, wanting a political marriage.’
Even the Duke of Winters did not welcome this marriage.
He seemed to think that the daughter of the Menisil family was not enough to be the mistress of the now more prestigious ducal family.
Since the head of the family felt that way, the attitudes of the servants under him were no different.
They cunningly made life miserable for Teresa.
They played pranks on what she ate and drank in the ducal house or made her wait in places that a noblewoman could never imagine.
If it had been anyone else, this engagement might have ended already. Teresa thoroughly hid this fact from the Menisil family. She wanted to keep the engagement going…
Of course, Maximilian was not interested either.
‘Not anymore. Torment Teresa in front of me?’
I pulled the bell cord and called for a maid.
“Maria, when did you say Miss Menisil will be coming today?”
“She should be arriving soon, Miss. Will you be attending teatime today?”
“Yes. Make sure everything is ready.”
In the original work, when Jaina attended teatime, the level of harassment towards Teresa increased.
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!
