One Day My Sister Died (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 126
126. Truly Remarkable!
2024.02.03.
The blond handsome man, who had taken in twelve women one after another without even a single knot of his robe coming loose, replied in a indifferent tone.
At that cold, unshakable demeanor, Eddie Rev’s eyes sparked with fury.
“Hah! Truly remarkable! Yeah? Huh?”
He was infuriated by the calm response, as if someone had just casually mentioned tying a horse in a stable.
Did Clade really think Eddie, a man with neither blood nor tears, would be completely fine with his reckless lifestyle?
Hadn’t Lancelot’s scream that Clade loved Yuan Pelliese echoed in his mind every single day?
Hadn’t his heart chilled at Clade’s words—“Anyone but that black-haired woman”?
Would he have simply clapped and said it was a good thing if Clade, who previously rejected everyone around him with obsessive perfection, never spending a single wedding night with any of his eight prior brides, had now voluntarily taken in dozens of women?
He had suppressed the lingering bitterness in his heart, convincing himself it was enough—as long as Clade could forget his latest betrayal, and as long as it led to Emperor Igor lowering his guard.
That was why he had passionately scouted and sent carefully selected courtesans to the Black Mansion.
Even afterward, he never let his surveillance slack, receiving daily reports each morning—just in case one of them might somehow become linked to Emperor Igor or Bollonico.
But now, seeing Clade casually drinking and shrugging it off, claiming Eddie had misunderstood everything, without even sharing the fact that he had once spared and sent away a first wife—Eddie felt an overwhelming urge to smash that arrogant, sharp-edged pride of his.
Remembering all the emotional turmoil he had endured, a mocking tone involuntarily slipped from his lips.
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!

The more her trembling eyes scrutinized his face, the more her heart sank.
It’s hard to believe that they still can’t talk to each other sincerely…
“Did you know your heart is weak?”
Urgh, it’s so annoying that he started to believe her only now…
Fail.
Don’t fail then ?? 😭 Gosh I need to read something less stressing
