Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 426
Anya Domis ended up drinking blood after all. Although this alone wasn’t enough to be certain, La Til decided to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
‘What will happen? Will she overcome her weakness of fainting? Even if she does, we won’t know the results right away—since she herself doesn’t know when she’ll pass out.’
But if she doesn’t faint even after one or two months, they’ll assume she’s overcome her weakness and act immediately.
Throughout the entire journey back to the imperial palace, La Til repeatedly clenched and unclenched her fists anxiously, lost in these thoughts.
Aini wasn’t strong enough to face even an ordinary royal guard knight yet, let alone her true adversary. Ranamun’s swordsmanship was excellent, but according to Girgol, he rated only a 2.
La Til herself was no different—she lacked the strength to properly face Anya Domis. The only reason she managed to hold her ground initially was because she could hear Anya Domis’s inner thoughts, but stalling for time wouldn’t help much longer.
‘Assuming Anya Domis needs about two months to assess her own condition… Can I raise Aini’s and Ranamun’s abilities significantly within two months? And on top of that, Girgol is away from his post again?’
Just then—
“Your Majesty.”
Ranamun, who had remained quiet the whole time, called out to La Til.
“Hmm?”
La Til placed her hands on her knees and looked across at him.
Ranamun met her gaze with a firm expression.
La Til had told Ranamun to stay at the ducal residence for a few days, but after seeing that his younger sibling’s wounds had fully healed, Ranamun insisted on returning immediately. His expression had been grave then—and now it was even more hardened.
“What’s wrong, Ranamun?”
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!
