Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 301
“Being with you guys is truly the best.”
Klein looked at his reflection in the vanity mirror and said contentedly. Thanks to the deep rest over the past few weeks, his skin was regaining its former luster.
The previous incident—the imprisonment of Duke Daga—had been the most dangerous and significant event Klein had ever experienced since birth.
The conflict between Heum and Hyacinth over the imperial throne had also been major, but Klein himself hadn’t been imprisoned during that affair. He’d merely needed to stay quieter than usual.
This time, however, the incident had been far too critical, offering Klein many realizations. He felt he’d matured mentally.
Though the thought of Hyacinth still caused him pain, Klein made a conscious effort during the day—even if forced—to avoid dwelling on it. After all, when he lay alone in bed at night, he inevitably spent hours tossing and turning, consumed by those very thoughts anyway.
When Klein, who had briefly hesitated, suddenly began smiling again at his reflection, Vanil grew anxious and quickly said something pleasant.
“I missed you so much too, Your Highness. I guess I’ve grown used to living with you now.”
Aksian, seemingly unable to bring himself to offer even insincere flattery, hesitated and then chose to change the subject entirely.
“The Heuksasin Dan truly didn’t seem human. I thought I was in decent shape myself, but those people…”
Can’t you just go along nicely for once and keep the mood pleasant? Vanil wanted to argue with Aksian’s attitude, but since it was the truth, he reluctantly nodded.
The Heuksasin Dan mercenaries were monsters so extraordinary they hardly deserved the ‘human’ part of their title. Despite minimizing essential survival activities to an extreme degree, they still possessed more strength than Aksian.
“Exactly. Your Highness, those mercenaries never rested at all! And their leader is Calain. It’d be best not to get entangled with someone like him if we can avoid it.”
“As long as His Highness doesn’t provoke trouble first, there won’t be any entanglement.”
Unable to hold back for even a full minute, Aksian carelessly opened his mouth, making Klein glare at him furiously—though he soon laughed it off lightly.
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!
