But isn’t Cien Mirmode just a rather ordinary little boy? His infamous father had changed too.

There must have been rumors that Matthias would lose his strength and fall from grace, so there was no need to be overly cautious.

Of course, Matthias was still a formidable figure. But they had heard that Matthias’s little girl was certainly powerless and sickly.

The henchmen optimistically overlooked the odd circumstances. The squinteyed one who approached Cien the closest held an anesthetic in his hand and grinned with satisfaction.

“Kid, do you want candy?”

Cien smiled.

His cheeks swelled up, as tender as honey dough, like a young child’s.

“No, sir.”

Even in this situation, he was confident. The henchman had to give the little boy credit for that and chuckled.

After all, there were three of them, who were, in fact, henchmen. Even if the little one was confident, what could he do? They had to kidnap to earn money.

“You don’t have a choice–”

“I’ll give it to you.”

But Cien cut him off.

Cien threw the small artifact he held in his hand towards them.

“Here, candy.”

Boom!

There was no time to confirm what was flying towards them as the artifact exploded with a loud sound.

The birds sitting on the branches scattered with a fluttering sound.

[This is a time delimiter.]

My next plan was simple, in fact.

I would bind the injured people and take them to the villa.

However, they disappeared quickly despite being heavily beaten by the maids who had been ambushing nearby.

They seemed to have used magic, squeezing out their last bit of strength, ready to die.

I stomped my feet and said.

“I think I need to learn teleportation.”

One of the maids banged her fist into her hand and grumbled ominously.

“…Huh, don’t worry, we’ll turn them into skeletons if they show up again.”

“Phew……..”

“Oh, they’ll die soon anyway.”

“Those guys, I recognized their faces. They’re infamous child kidnappers and murderers, right? I saw them in the leaflet. They deserve to die. Eugh.”

… I had suspected, but they were even worse scumbags than I thought.

If I hadn’t been heavily armed with artifacts, I might have been kidnapped and who knows what would have happened to me.

Thinking about it made me furious.

I clenched my tiny fists like a cat’s paw and said solemnly.

“Those bastards……..”

I was going to ask them what they intended to do, tormenting my frail father after dealing with the henchmen, but for now, I was satisfied with punishing the bastards.

If the villain hiding behind them targets me, they will show up again.

By then, I’ll be stronger, so I’ll never be treated like this again.

I put my artifact back in my pocket with pride.

‘Well, at least I’ve tested it. It’s effective.’
There is a disadvantage to everything.

I gently tapped the hairpin in my head.

In the sense of struggling.

‘I should tell Dad that there was definitely a prince. Dad, who thinks the world is a garden of flowers, needs to be careful!’

“Ah, the hunting contest is about to end, Sir Cien.”

“I couldn’t have fun, what should I do? Now, I should [dash] those guys.”

I opened my eyes wide.

I didn’t know that everyone including Dad was rushing back on horseback while I was dealing with the princes.

‘Dad seems to be coming back!’

I seemed to have overlooked that the hunting contest does not take a long time.

“Let’s go quickly!”

It was a situation where Dad should not notice that I had left my seat.

I, expecting what kind of game Dad and his close people would have brought, quickly went up the podium.

They might have brought quite decent animals!

But…….

On the podium I arrived at, I had no choice but to be surprised.

‘What is this……?’

Dad, holding something large in his hand, was looking at me with an expectant face, seemingly fluttering.

The ugly gentlemen were also surrounded me with sparkling eyes!

Before I had a chance to be startled by their pompous look, the celebratory cannon signaling the end of the hunting contest exploded.

Soon, a grand banquet to commemorate the hunting contest with Dad, me, and all the closest associates began.

Inside the large banquet hall, on the massive dining table.

At the top, my dad, who doesn’t seem to have gone hunting at all, was sitting with a warm face, I was seated on the right, and step by step, the gentlemen with bad impressions took their seats.

‘What did those gentlemen do all this while?’

I, thorough, still did not stop suspecting and looked at them.

All of the close gentlemen had their prey caught during the hunting contest on the ground. Of course, there were gentlemen who were emptyhanded.

Tapping the sinister man next to me, I looked at something in front of him with a horrified face.

“What is this?”

He said, smiling as if his mouth was tearing apart.

“It’s a cute pet. It’s a go, goblin!”

Goblins are scary.

“Goblins are nutritious complete food.”

It was the first time I had heard this in my life.

In the small rural village where I lived, there is a saying that .

‘Goblin, is it scarier than the boar in the back mountain?’

Well, it seemed like these gentlemen could catch a goblin with bare hands. ‘This gentleman seems to have quite a bit of strength. He might be stronger than our dad.’

This week’s number 1!

I raised my eyebrows slightly and said.

“Goblins are scary. Scary. So [dash].”

So, the gentleman who hunted the scarylooking goblin was cool, I was trying to flatter.

As soon as my words ended, his face fell as if he had lost the world.

Then, from next to me, Dad spoke in a gentle voice.

“……Goblin, it’s scary.”

I looked at Dad for a moment.

I could see Dad’s hand holding a knife shaking slightly.

‘Dad seems to be scared of goblins.’

I lifted my short arm with all my might and quickly covered Dad’s eyes.

Seeing my actions, the gentleman quietly put down the box containing the goblin. He seemed to have been very shocked.

“Dad, don’t worry! It could just be scary to look at.”

“That’s right, Cien.”

I glanced at the gentleman, then removed my hand from Dad’s eyes.

As soon as my actions ended, the gentlemen started flattery one after another.

“Goblins are hideous.”

“That’s right. Phew, goblin.”

“Bringing such a scary thing, it feels like the sky will collapse soon.”

The gentleman sitting next to me made a wronged expression. He seemed definitely wronged, but he looked even more brutal.

“That’s it. Cien.”
My father, who had been stealing glances at him, looked at me and smiled contentedly, showing the cage in his hand.

“Daddy has brought something cuter.”

Dad said gently.

Curious about what dad had brought, I opened my eyes.

The royal guard, who was standing behind my father, set a small bird cage he was holding onto the large dining table.

“It’s a bird, a bird!”

“Yes, it’s a sparrow. Isn’t it cute and pretty as if its eyes are squinted?”

I looked around.

The sparrow that dad had caught.

And the big man was struggling with a rabbit.

There was also a parrot, and a cute cat was walking around on the floor.

The man who caught a goblin seemed to be the strongest……

Everyone only brought weak animals.

‘This can’t be. In a hunting contest, everyone shows their power by catching something impressive.’

I’ve seen it in the video sphere, but these gentlemen really…… seem weak contrary to their appearance.

“Only cute things are brought……”

Listening to my trembling voice, dad said arrogantly.

“That’s right, there are a lot of cute things in the world.”

As dad spoke, the gentlemen began to clap wildly.

“Of course, scary and dangerous things like goblins shouldn’t exist in this world!”

“Regardless of anything, cuteness is the best.”

“Cuteness rules the world!”

I looked around with a puzzled look.

‘Why does everyone look festive?’

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!
