If You Wish For My Death (6 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 26
When Veronica returned to being 16 again, she resented Harry for sending her to that place.
But later, she found out that the hospital had an outstanding public reputation for selfless service and dedication.
In reality, it was the complete opposite—but no one knew that.
Veronica hadn’t been subjected to harsh treatment right from the start either.
At first, she received normal therapy with counseling, but gradually grew bitter toward Harry for not rescuing her from there; as her resentment deepened, Harry began visiting her less often—and that was when the horrifying things started happening.
After she completely lost her mind, she’d only scream whenever Harry came, so he likely couldn’t even imagine how she had been treated there.
After the Empress’s reading gathering ended, Veronica stood at a distance and stared at the group of women clustered together.
It was a lively scene, brimming with vitality like flower buds bursting forth with the arrival of spring.
Veronica spotted the woman there. At first, she didn’t recognize her.
That was understandable—every patient present had long since deteriorated so badly they’d lost all traces of their former selves.
Veronica herself would’ve found it hard to associate that woman with Magnolia Linning, the noble-born lady who had once vomited and wept in agony.
Perhaps they’d even crossed paths in her previous life without recognizing each other. Veronica’s decision to speak to her had been impulsive.
It disgusted her to imagine the man who would imprison her in a mental institution someday celebrating his engagement to this woman—it felt too similar, too much like herself.
“Veronica, what are you thinking about so deeply?”
Startled by Lady Arin’s sudden voice, Veronica snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head slightly, as if to say it was nothing.
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!

I can totally understand the fmc she don’t want fake friends cause she already has a experience where she thought someone was her friend but they where only using her for her status. I mean its always hard to trust people when u been betrayed badly. I can totally understand her having trust issues.
she must be thinking something really romantic is going on between them. If only she knew what her favorite is scheming in that head of hers.
I’m laughing so hard that Magnolia is so innocent and totally oblivious to the conversation, lol.
