I was the first human to set foot on this land, and I was also the being that God took the most care to create.
Born beautiful in every way, I received the love of many beings.
The love I received filled the dry river and overflowed to the point of putting water in the sky.
The color of love that filled the world was really beautiful.
At first, I was content just to look, but suddenly I had a thought.
‘What if I gather such a brilliant thing?’
It was the love I received anyway, so I thought it didn’t matter. So I collected the love I received from others in a treasure chest, one by one.
The love that emitted various colors was tempting, but the reason was that I hated sharing it with others too much.
So after about half a year, the love I received reached ‘enough to fill the treasure chest and more.’
Nevertheless, I didn’t share love with anyone.
Those who gave me love began to fight with each other to receive my love.
The light that twinkled around the world disappeared, and the eternal night came from then.
Then one day, God, who had been watching us from outside the world, came down to the earth.
“How can you collect love without sharing it?”
God asked me a truly plain question.
“Because I like it.”
I answered like that.
But at that time, my answer to God was not sincere. I just wanted to speak nicely in front of God.
And God seemed to know that I was not telling the truth.
“You are really pitiable.”
God made a sorry expression at my answer. Furthermore, he took the box where I had been collecting love for the past six months, saying this:
“Now I will give you a problem. If you say the right answer, I will return this box.”
At that time, I was flustered because God said he was taking the box, so I gave several answers. But none of them was the answer.
“I’ll wait for you to find the answer. It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time.”
Meanwhile, God went straight up to heaven, giving me repeated wrong answers.
Taking all beings except me.
Thanks to this, only I remained on the land created by God.
Having received the love of many beings and left alone, I learned the emotion of ‘loneliness’ for the first time.
And as I spent a few years alone, I began to resent God.
In a world where there was nothing, I gradually withered away.
At first, I thought I would just die like this. But cruelly, the endless time did not seem to end.
So I wandered to find the answer to God’s question, wanting to end this fruitless and lonely life.
Not knowing that the ‘yoke’ of ‘eternal life’ had been put on me.
[This is a time divider.]What was my life?
Once I met a child on the earth who said this:
‘Sis, living is like an apple falling from an apple tree.’
At that time, I looked at the 7yearold child with an absurd expression.
I was only 10 years old at the time, but thanks to the memories of my previous life, I was as old inside as an old person.
Anyway, he was not in the same situation as me, and he was quite profound at 7 years old.
Our life was never a choice from the beginning, and when I opened my eyes, it was the world.
Looking at how he compared philosophical principles to apples, he didn’t seem to be an ordinary guy.
After all, living was just as the child said.
Whether the street was home to a beggar, or the life of a brilliant lady, I never got to choose the starting point.
“Euuung.”
And on a day when the sunlight flowed down into my eyes, I slowly opened my eyes.
‘It hurts.’
The first sensation I felt was ‘pain.’
Indeed, my eyes were stinging so much that I blinked a few times. The surroundings seemed bright, so the time seemed to be during the day, and the warm wind felt like spring. However, the pleasant sunlight prickled my skin as if it was summer sunlight.
‘My vision is strange.’
Why can’t I see well? It was faint like turning off and turning on a light, so it was difficult to distinguish objects.
Blinking.
I just blinked again. Then, as things gradually began to look right, I slowly opened my mouth.
Eww[Dash].
Trying out his voice, only strange muffled sounds sputtered out.
“Hmm, a body that hasn’t been used for a long time?”
The first thing that caught his eye was the fence.
“A fence?”
He reached out to touch it, but his body did not move as he wanted. It was as though he had been tied up with ropes.
“What could it be? A prison or a slave market?”
He soon tried to lower his head, but it did not move as he wanted.
“It would be troublesome if I’m really tied up.”
He then became lost in serious thought, recalling his past lives.
He had lived countless lives.
Sometimes he was a beggar, sometimes an ordinary person, and at one time he was a knight and once a noble duke.
There was a rule in these lives, which was that he never knew when or where he would open his eyes.
He considered this phenomenon “reincarnation,” and as evidence, he had experienced countless deaths and rebirths.
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!
