“Child, it’s time to get up.”
In the Harubenta Empire, winter had yet to arrive, so Evelia was luxuriating in the warm temperature, in a moderately thin, soft blanket, deep in a sweet sleep.
“Um… donuts…”
Upon hearing Evelia sleeptalking about donuts, Enlil, who had been sprawled out on a cushion in the corner, pricked up his ears and abruptly stood up.
Donuts?! Where?!
Watching this, Hugo held back a chuckle.
Whether my daughter or the brat claiming to be her brother, they are both dragons.
“It was a dream. It was a very nice dream…”
Rubbing her eyes and struggling to get up, Evelia called out to Undine in Hugo’s arms.
“Undine.”
Lately, Undine had taken on the role of Evelia’s nanny spirit. Today, Undine’s purpose was to be the ‘shower spirit’.
With a pop, Undine appeared with a small noise and circled over Evelia’s head with a disgruntled look.
[Chick, you seem to be under a massive delusion. I’m not a lowly spirit to help with baths. If you’d ask something of this body, it’d be better to assign a noble task such as joining the war or slaying demons.]Knockknock.
As if to tell her to stop babbling, when Hugo walked in, the halfopen door was knocked on a few times by Agares and Undine instantly fell silent.
[ than that, being our chick’s shower spirit is better. Yes. I’m a shower spirit. Shower spirit.]That demon is way too terrifying no matter how I look at it. He’s way too brutal with his hands.
Just the other day, he even dusted me off onto a handkerchief to clean the chick’s hand.
Undine helped wash every corner of Evelia’s body and wash her hair without saying a word.
[Now, you little dragon!]“Little dragon you…?”
As Enlil spread his wings and slowly repeated after her, Undine promptly corrected herself.
[No… Young dragon lord.]Long ago, the kings of dragons and spirits often made contracts.
That is, lower spirits like Undine can be crushed with one finger by a race like dragons.
Undine lobbed a large water bomb at Enlil and thought.
‘There’s nothing around our chick but scary things. What’s with all the demons and dragons?’
Her situation was quite pitiful.
‘I met her first… It’s sad…’
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]After the shower, she wrapped herself in a thick towel, immediately jumped into the blanket, and melted her body. It was that warm.
Evelia, who walked out dressed in baby horseriding clothes, was asked by Agares, who pushed a bowl of soup towards her.
“Little one, did you have a good dream last night?”
Even though I made it, if the full moon could bring you sweet dreams, that would be nice.
“Yeah. I had a dream that I was flying in the sky on a huge donut. I couldn’t help but grab and eat the donut and fell!”
“……?”
I thought you would have sweet dreams of wandering in the forest, or conversing with animals, or going to the moon to meet a rabbit, or something of that sort.
‘Even if you fell while eating a flying donut, if it was sweet to you, then it’s okay.’
What on earth goes on in that small head of yours?
With each thought, each dream so diverse and refreshing, Agares broke into a gentle smile.
“Bunny, I want to eat donuts.”
“Just a moment.”
Even though there were no donuts in sight, there was no hesitation in the response.
It was an unspoken rule between Agares and Evelia, the demon ruler and his young friend.
If the little friend wanted something, the demon responded immediately. Anywhere, anyhow.
By the time Evelia slowly finished her bowl of soup, Agares returned with a bunch of donuts.
“Here, our little one’s donuts.”
“Donuts! Thank you, bunny!”
“You’re dutiful. Well done, nanny.”
“Shut.”
Just as Agares was about to tell Hugo, who smirked and let out a brief comment, to shut up, he abruptly changed his words upon seeing Evelia’s sparkling eyes.
Our little one should only hear good things as she grows.
“……I can get you a chicken too, if you want.”
Hugo’s lips curled up slightly, as if understanding the intent.
The highranking demon in front of him seemed to be more flustered in front of his daughter than he thought.
‘Even if he’s a servant demon who I summoned and formed a subservience contract with, it shouldn’t be to this extent. How on earth did he manage to tame him?’
Somehow, she had all these beings who were hard to control in one’s entire life dancing in her palms.
Moreover, those who would never submit to anyone in their long lives were prostrating themselves in front of her like puppies wagging their tails.
“Actually, my daughter might not be a spirit sage but a tamer.”
Hugo seriously pondered.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]When they left the lodgings, twenty royal knights of the Harventa Empire were assigned to escort the diplomatic corps.
They were not unaware that their escort was of no use as long as Duke Artina was there.
Still, it was always customary to have proper formality when welcoming diplomats from other empires.
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!
