Seduced the Doomed Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 126
Escorted by Baekya, Lady Wind gently led the conversation.
“Young Sik, have you finished your meal before coming out?”
“Of course. The food here is always delicious, so I cleaned my plate completely. The performance, as always, was artful as well.”
Lady Wind was the owner of this upscale restaurant. Baekya spoke cheerfully, blending flattery with ease.
“And other business?”
Though it seemed like casual small talk,
‘You surely have more important matters to attend to, don’t you?’
At these words, laden with hidden meaning, Baekya’s smiling face instantly stiffened.
“…….”
Their conversation paused briefly as they reached the waiting carriage.
A strange tension filled the air as Lady Wind, stepping onto the carriage footrest while holding Baekya’s hand, asked her question.
Baekya forced a grin, concealing his true thoughts, while Lyla faithfully played her role as Lady Wind.
Unspoken glances passed between the two, each trying to deceive the other. What was certain was that Baekya, head of the mercenary guild, did not fully know Lady Wind’s true identity.
It was Baekya who broke the brief silence.
“I couldn’t attend to any business since no one came to meet me.”
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!

Seems like Lyla is in love with the count. I hope it works out between them!
I don’t understand why Count Hugo couldn’t be with Lyla as well as search for the Prince! Poor Lyla. Yearning for someone for so long and never having it reciprocated.
Baekya… why do people fall in love with people who are already taken? To me, once someone has a boyfriend/husband, they IMMEDIATELY become off-limits and any feelings there may of been vanish.

The timelined don’t seem to line up… weren’t the witches attacked like 100 years ago or something? How old is this Hugo? And how old is Bern?
Thus, Lyla too gained a body that would never age.
How old even are these people?! And doesn’t that make Bern super old too?

I feel bad for Count Hugo. Baekya really should be there supporting his grandfather instead of trying to sell info about Rodric!
Also, it’s been awhile since we hear anything about literally everyone else. Where is Devir? How are Selina and Vanessa doing? What’s that silent mage up to? How are thr Duke and Felice holding up? Where is Calpher? Is Noel regaining his power? What about the witch’s magic circle? So many unknowns here!
