Impure Wedding Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 1
“Secretary Han, have you found that woman?”
A pleasant baritone quietly echoed through the spacious office.
Ye Rin kept her back straight and wore her usual business smile.
“I’m sorry. Not yet.”
Lee Hyun rubbed his eyebrow slowly with his index finger, evidently dissatisfied with her answer.
Such a reaction was to be expected.
After all, it had already been over three months since Lee Hyun had instructed Ye Rin to find “that woman.”
‘How am I supposed to find someone who can’t be found? Sigh.’
She sighed deeply inwardly but forced a smile onto her face.
Lee Hyun stared fixedly at Ye Rin again today.
Whenever he looked at her so persistently, she couldn’t help but feel nervous, recalling that night involuntarily.
‘Managing Director couldn’t possibly know something and be acting like this, right?’
Even though she knew it wasn’t true, his unusually intense gaze made her heart race for no reason.
There really was a reason the saying “a thief feels guilty without being accused” existed—it applied perfectly to this situation.
‘I mustn’t show any signs. I have to stay calm.’
Ironically, the “woman” Lee Hyun was desperately searching for was Ye Rin herself.
Ever since that unforgettable one-night stand, Lee Hyun had claimed he fell for “that woman” at first sight and relentlessly pressured Ye Rin to find her by any means necessary.
The one silver lining was that he’d assigned the task to her—an opportunity she used to deliberately delay the search and buy time.
The downside, however, was the certainty that unless “that woman” was found, she’d be stuck in this absurd fake relationship with Lee Hyun indefinitely.
Trapped between a rock and a hard place, Ye Rin was thoroughly flustered.
Lee Hyun was clearly the only one enjoying this situation.
Trying hard to appear diligent, Ye Rin spoke up.
“Managing Director, is there perhaps a clue you haven’t shared with me about that woman?”
“Oh, actually, there is one. That day, she scratched my body and ran away.”
Ye Rin’s lips parted slightly.
‘Did I scratch the Managing Director’s body that night?’
Now that she thought about it, she probably had.
Overwhelmed by an unfamiliar, thrilling pleasure, she must’ve sunk her nails deep into his impressively toned back.
To hide her well-manicured nails, Ye Rin clenched her fists tightly.
Unaware that Lee Hyun’s sharp eyes were observing every subtle movement she made.
“S—so… the wound must’ve left a mark, then?”
“Indeed. Want to see?”
Lee Hyun tugged at his tie as if ready to strip off his shirt right then and there.
“No!”
Ye Rin firmly stopped him.
“I don’t think it’s necessary for me to see it. Even if I did, it wouldn’t help locate the woman.”
A flicker of disappointment briefly crossed Lee Hyun’s face at her words.
“Alright then, if Secretary Han says so.”
She still couldn’t forget Lee Hyun’s perfectly chiseled abs—carved as though he’d spent years meticulously crafting them.
It wasn’t just his abs, either.
His firm pectorals, broad shoulders—she remembered every detail, including the unique scent that enveloped her when he held her close.
Just recalling that memory made her cheeks flush uncontrollably.
No matter how hard she tried to remain composed, it was impossible whenever she stood before Lee Hyun.
She knew better than anyone that she’d never meet a man more exceptional than him in her life.
That was precisely why she had to keep the truth hidden—that she was “that woman.”
She wanted Lee Hyun to keep imagining the woman he’d met that night as someone extraordinary.
That was the only way to preserve his precious memory untarnished.
Taking a short breath, Ye Rin returned to her original point and resumed her report.
“Managing Director, so in conclusion…”
“Why jump to a conclusion already? I want to hear every single detail of your process.”
Ye Rin could only offer another awkward smile.
There was only one thing she could ever say to Lee Hyun:
That she was still searching—and would continue searching diligently.
It was a fixed outcome, one that would never change.
Gulp—
Ye Rin swallowed hard.
“Even the ever-competent Secretary Han can’t solve this one thing.”
“That woman is hiding incredibly well.”
Lee Hyun gave a charming smile, his expression gentle.
“You should’ve found her by any means necessary. Maybe Secretary Han enjoys dating me like this?”
Ye Rin sharply turned and glanced once more at the firmly closed office door.
Though the room was well soundproofed, she lowered her voice even further, worried that the staff in the outer secretary office might overhear.
“Managing Director, you promised not to mention our fake relationship within the company.”
“Oh, did I?”
Lee Hyun grinned mischievously, pulling up the corners of his mouth.
Oh, “did I?”
He was absolutely doing this on purpose, fully aware and just teasing her.
Tilting his head slightly, he adopted a tender look in his eyes.
“Secretary Han, you don’t have any schedule this afternoon, right? How about we just leave work early and go on a date?”
Did Lee Hyun even realize how difficult it was to refuse such an irresistible offer from someone with his stunning face?
Ye Rin suppressed her true feelings and put on the polite, professional smile she usually reserved for business partners.
“Managing Director, we’re still on duty. I’d appreciate it if we could avoid discussing our fake relationship as much as possible.”
“Oh dear. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Lee Hyun lazily raised an eyebrow and slowly scanned Ye Rin’s face.
Noticing her slightly stiffened, trembling lips, he spoke in a low, pleasing murmur.
“Why do I keep getting the feeling that Secretary Han is deliberately not looking for her?”
His dark eyes locked onto Ye Rin’s face.
His gaze was so chillingly perceptive it made her tense up instinctively.
“There’s no way I’d do that.”
“Exactly. Which means the sooner you find that woman, the sooner our fake relationship ends. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes.”
Ye Rin was smiling, but it wasn’t a real smile.
Because even if she brought “that woman” to him, the situation wouldn’t change much.
After all, that woman was herself.
“Secretary Han, do as you please.”
Surprisingly, Lee Hyun backed down easily this time.
And soon enough, the reason for his calm demeanor was revealed.
“Because I don’t mind dating Secretary Han.”
“Managing Director, it’s not dating—it’s pretending to date.”
Lee Hyun stood up and approached Ye Rin, his long legs closing the distance between them quickly.
With every step he took closer, Ye Rin’s heartbeat accelerated.
“But Secretary Han, there’s something I forgot to mention.”
“Yes?”
Lee Hyun pulled something gleaming from his suit jacket pocket.
The moment she recognized the object,
Ye Rin bit down hard on her lips.
“Excuse me, Secretary Han.”
Lee Hyun gently took her right hand and slowly lifted it.
“Why are you trembling so much? Anyone watching might think I’m about to devour you.”
The tips of Ye Rin’s fingers trembled visibly.
Just as she tried to pull her hand away, Lee Hyun was quicker.
“It fits perfectly. Uncannily so, actually.”
He tilted his head, examining the ring that slid snugly onto Ye Rin’s right index finger with clear fascination.
“What are the odds of something like this happening?”
“I’m not sure what you mean.”
Her voice shook slightly from nervousness.
Ye Rin stared resentfully at the ring now perfectly fitted on her finger.
It was unmistakably hers.
Her mother, Han Chan Suk, had gifted it to her when she first joined Jiseoc Electronics.
And unfortunately, she’d lost this precious ring on the very night she’d spent with Lee Hyun.
She never imagined in her wildest dreams that Lee Hyun would end up with it.
She’d assumed she’d dropped it at the party venue.
Amused, Lee Hyun slowly caressed her fingers as he spoke.
“Secretary Han, I don’t know much about women’s ring sizes, but—”
“…”
“—what are the chances someone else’s ring would fit your finger like a glove?”
A chill ran down her spine.
She absolutely couldn’t fall for Lee Hyun’s probing question.
Forcing a smile, Ye Rin first slipped the ring off her index finger.
“You yourself mentioned before that the woman you’re looking for seems to have a similar build to mine.”
“That’s right.”
“Then it’s highly probable our finger sizes would be similar as well.”
She placed the ring she’d just removed back into Lee Hyun’s open palm.
It was the ring she’d been searching for all along.
Yet she couldn’t ask for it back.
Doing so would be tantamount to admitting, with her own words, that she was the one who’d spent that intimate night with him.
Lee Hyun stepped back with a look of regret.
“Oh. I see.”
He carefully wrapped the ring again in a cloth and tucked it back into his jacket pocket.
Ye Rin watched helplessly, feeling as though the ring had been snatched right before her eyes.
Lee Hyun clicked his fingers sharply.
“Secretary Han, there’s something I’ve been curious about for a while.”
And then he closed the distance between them—not just to the previous proximity, but even closer.
“Managing Director?”
Lee Hyun placed a hand on her waist to prevent her from escaping and pulled her firmly into his embrace.
The rich, familiar scent that suddenly filled her nose made Ye Rin’s lips part slightly in surprise.
“Secretary Han. Could you take out that earring for a moment?”
“Huh?”
Lee Hyun pointed precisely at Ye Rin’s right ear.
A large pearl earring dangled delicately from her lobe.
Ye Rin deliberately wore noticeably flashy, oversized earrings.
To cover the small mole on her right earlobe.
“Why my earring…?”
“Just for a moment.”
Lee Hyun bent down and carefully removed the earring securely fastened to her ear.
The heavy weight that had been hanging from her right ear vanished, and immediately after, Lee Hyun’s low voice whispered into her ear.
“I remember things very clearly.”
“Remember… what?”
While gently touching her earlobe, Lee Hyun gave her a dizzying look.
His faint smile was truly lethal.
“I think I’ve found her.”
“…”
“The woman who’s been haunting me every night.”
Ye Rin’s eyes widened dramatically.
Lee Hyun captured Ye Rin’s stunned expression in his deep gaze and leaned down slowly.
The sight of his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down imprinted itself into her vision like a slow-motion scene.
Finally, Lee Hyun’s lips parted thrillingly.
“Han Ye Rin. It’s you.”
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!
