“Hunter, just pretend to fight, then look for a chance to lose. Those guys, preserving their pride is more important than a duel.”
“Manager.”
“Yes, yes……?”
“I’ll handle it myself.”
Eun Ha smiled slyly. In front of that meaningful smile, Jehwi couldn’t say anything other than “Ugh.”
‘If the representative finds out I’ve fought with Jecheon Daesung, I’m finished.’
Trembling with anxiety, Jehwi suddenly realized something.
‘……Ah, I’m finished anyway.’
He had taken time off without Siwoo’s permission and even involved her in big trouble. The representative must be furious by now. Whether this way or that way, his work life was over.
Jehwi decided to take it easy.
“Oh, brother. Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m fine now.”
I’m ruined anyway. My life.
Hahaha…… I wonder if I can get my severance pay properly. While Jehwi’s sad laughter continued, a round circle was formed around Yuhwan and Eun Ha.
“Wooooo!”
“Show them what you’ve got, master!”
“Je! Cheon! Dae! Sung! Yu! Hwan!”
The immortal guild members cheered for Yuhwan with a tremendous decibel. Among them, Yuhwan, tightly bandaged, spoke casually.
“I’ll allow a preemptive attack.”
Eun Ha looked at him coldly. This would be the second time she’d fought a person, after Siwoo.
‘That massive man is the Immortal Guild Leader, Jecheon Daesung Yuhwan.’
According to Jehwi, he was an Sclass hunter, just like Siwoo.
He was not carrying any weapons. That meant he was either a natureclass hunter like Eun Ha or his body itself was a weapon, i.e., a bodyenhancing type hunter.
‘Probably the latter.’
Huge fists that reminded one of a giant beast. Prominent muscles through his loose clothing. Above all, an overwhelming physique that surpassed that of an average person.
To minimize the damage when fists collide, at least a similar level of strength must be used. Otherwise, one would be crushed.
“What are you doing? It’s okay. Give it your all.”
Yuhwan smiled affably. It wasn’t a sneer. He was really relaxed. So then─.
Swish!
She closed the distance in an instant.
“……!”
Yuhwan was momentarily surprised by her unimaginable speed. But that was all.
Swoosh─
To avoid her attack, a minimal movement of shifting his upper body to the side was enough.
Yuhwan, who had lightly evaded the attack, raised the corner of his mouth.
“You’re not an Fclass hunter indeed. That speed is commendable.”
Thud.
Eun Ha lightly landed on the opposite side of Yuhwan.
Her agile and perfect landing. Witnessing this, Yuhwan’s red eyes sparkled with interest.
Although he had not been hit, Yuhwan, who trained his body every day, realized something.
That woman was of the same kind as herself.
A person who continues to fight with herself every day. The heart throbs. An animalistic sense that somehow it would be an interesting duel.
“Let me give you one special piece of advice. It’s best not to clench your fist so tightly from the beginning. Rather, clenching it firmly just before it reaches your opponent is more effective in many ways.”
“Then I’ll give you some advice too.”
Eun Ha, who responded briefly, sneaks a glance in this direction.
“It’s best not to talk too much when fighting.”
“What…… Huh?!”
Wham─!
It happened in an instant. As if struck by an invisible fist, Yu Hwan staggered greatly in place.
The sudden development left Yu Hwan and everyone around him frozen in surprise.
‘What, what’s this?’
He clearly had dodged her attack.
He was certain. He had not been hit by her fist. She also had swung her fist ‘only once’.
Yu Hwan turned his head toward Eun Ha, holding his chilly cheek. The Princess of Black Flame had no weapon in her possession.
So, was this her ability? An invisible attack like wind? Or shadow? Maybe light.
‘But it was too blunt for that.’
A sensation as if he had been struck in the face with a real fist. What was she─.
“What are you doing? It’s your turn next.”
In front of the frozen Yu Hwan, Eun Ha tilted her head diagonally with a swish. Seeing that, Yu Hwan let out a small laugh.
“This is serious.”
Sung Yoon, who had been watching the duel of the two, murmured in a low voice. Je Hwi looked at him with a whoosh, cutting through the wind.
“Eh? Serious, you say?”
“Master is excited.”
Excited…… excited? Je Hwi blinked in that moment.
Grrr─.
The surroundings began to vibrate lowly. The change in the density of the atmosphere was felt on the skin. Amid the gravel that had been lying on the floor shaking like rice grains on a tray, Sung Yoon whispered in a voice audible only to Je Hwi.
“Actually, our master likes getting hit.”
“……Yes?”
Did you hear wrong? Je Hwi looked at him with a dumbfounded face. Whether he knew it or not, Sung Yoon added with a worldserious face.
“Because there’s no one who dares to hit him.”
With those words as the last, the vibrating ground became still. And then.

The sound of metal breaking was heard.
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!
