Count Kasis added the coordinates to the previously drawn transport magic circle and added.
“I can’t transport you deep into the mountains. I can only help you get halfway up.”
Some might have asked ‘What relationship does the “Ruler of the East Demon World” have with Evelia? How did he know where Evelia was?’, but no one did.
Hugo, Elysia, and all the Artina knights standing at the center of that era knew well.
They knew that the ruler, who had mediated the war with overwhelming power in the past, would not tell lies.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]‘It hurts. It hurts so much.’
The first thing she felt when she opened her eyes was intense pain, followed by a bonechilling cold.
She felt like she was in a complete mess.
Her stomach was twisting, and the reflux of stomach acid and the surging feeling of blood were unfamiliar to her.
The biggest risk that spirit users pay for calling out spirits for help.
‘So this is what reverse summoning feels like.’
Evelia tried to recall where she was, why it was so cold, why it hurt so much, and tried to regain her sense of reality for a moment.
When she blinked a couple of times and remembered the last scene she saw before she passed out, the scene of Caron being penetrated by the sword, the unbearable reality came rushing in.
“Ugh…..”
She couldn’t help but retch.
Her small hand clamping her mouth had turned pale white as her fur gloves had disappeared.
“Oh! You’re awake, you’re awake!”
The demon who had thrown Evelia onto the piled snow and was sitting on a rock with a blooddried sword came dancing over.
Ah. Evelia knew all too well whose blood that sword was stained with.
“Where…..”
When she forced herself to come to and looked around belatedly, she saw a blizzard.
Seeing the moon so close, it was clear that it was somewhere on a mountain.
The snowcovered field and the barren trees surrounding it confirmed her speculation that this was a mountain.
It was an atmosphere where it wouldn’t be strange if any beast or monster jumped out.
She didn’t know which continent or which kingdom it was, but she was certain of one thing.
‘No one can find me.’
She tried to summon Undine in a small voice, but she didn’t come.
It seemed it was difficult to summon a spirit with a body that had just experienced a reverse summoning.
“Oh? Don’t bother. You’re going to die here anyway. Quack! If I can’t kill you, I can’t get my contract fee, and I’ll lose my head to the one I serve.”
Instead of answering, Evelia glared straight at Zefar with her eyes glowing a blue light.
“……You’re going to die too. By my dad, my mom, my brothers, and my friend. You’re going to die too.”
“Huh?”
That demon’s characteristic tittering laugh. The laugh that didn’t blend in with nature at all cut through the roaring blizzard and resonated clearly in her ears.
“Do you know why I brought you here, little girl?”
“……”
“Those eyes!! Because of those eyes you want to gouge out!!”
As the demon brought his sharp fingernails close to Evelia’s eyes and giggled, Evelia didn’t close her eyes, even if his hand seemed to pierce her eyes at any moment.
“But it’s no fun if I gouge them out now, is it? Right? When you beg to be spared! No, rather when you beg to be killed! That’s when those eyes are worth exhibiting!!”
“……”
Thinking that her shaking voice would ruin the moment if she opened her mouth, Evelia couldn’t even moisten her lips.
The blue eyes of a small human child facing death remained steadfast, which displeased Zefar.
“Ah, let’s see where to start, shall we? Hmm? I’m curious to see how long you can hold back your tears while I break you.”
The devil, Zephyr, trembled with anticipation. Nothing brought him greater pleasure.
He was genuinely excited.
The moment when those blue eyes would bleed tears, staining red.
The scene where those noble red lips turn pale and beg for death.
Start with the arms? Or the legs?
As if contemplating where to break her first, Zephyr alternately pointed at Evelia’s arms and legs.
While snapping his long fingers.
After twirling his finger for a while, Zephyr pointed at Evelia’s right leg.
“Yes, the legs first, of course!”
A hand larger than Evelia’s tiny face slowly approached her.
The red armor. The hand soaked in blood. Everything was unbearably terrifying.
‘I’m scared.’
I’m scared, dad. Mom. My brothers.
My rabbit. My food thief. I’m scared.
“Alright let’s see how much you can endure, little one!! As long as you can!!”
‘I won’t scream. I won’t cry. It’s okay. It’s soon. It’ll be over soon.’
She gritted her teeth.
She felt the taste of blood flowing from her lips.
In anticipation of the pain to come, Evelia closed her eyes tightly.
But the sound that reached her ears.
“Aaah!!”
Was not the sound of her bones breaking, but a thick scream like metal scraping.
Then, the sensation that hit her.
Instead of pain.
An unusually warm embrace, a voice that seemed to hurt with cold.
“The little one is my title.”
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!
