Seduced the Doomed Villain (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 26
“But why’d you come to the North, anyway? You’re the one who never stepped a foot outside the mansion.”
Nathan pushed aside his suspicion and gave him a knowing smile.
“So that’s why you came? A kid who stays cooped up at home all the time ends up way out here in the North, far from the capital?”
“Uh… yeah. Guess so.”
Nathan awkwardly scratched his wild, red hair.
Though he was a man filled only with thoughts of fighting and living by his own pride, he had deep affection, making him an older brother impossible to hate.
“You haven’t changed a bit, Oppa.”
“You want me to change? We’ve already got enough weirdos in Hyung and Nuna.”
The villains and villainesses of this world—the figures meant to make the saintly and noble heroine shine all the brighter.
When had it started? When Vanessa Beatus began blindly loving the Crown Prince.
When Devir Beatus gradually grew quieter, becoming an unfathomable man.
“And Oppa… you ran away.”
Nathan Beatus had fled the Beatus household, claiming its teachings didn’t suit him.
The Beatus clan specialized in assassination—acting covertly, stealthily, even slyly—which clashed with Nathan’s love for flashy, open combat.
“Who ran away! The word ‘run’ doesn’t exist in my Nathan dictionary.”

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!

- Aelthia Chapter 29 — Paragraph 126
"Don’t play games. If you leave, Diana comes with you."
Oh, is Noel related to Diana due to the human experimentation she suffered under? Maybe he was also there?
- Aelthia Chapter 29 — Paragraph 144
"You deserve to live in agony. That’s why your soul remains trapped here."
So…it’s almost like reincarnation, but not. Noel is a dragon, I hadn’t considered that.
- Artemtisforaday Chapter 30 — Paragraph 18
How long would this false relationship last? Just as his sealed memories might u
So he truly isn’t her brother and he manipulated her memories. Now the only question is, why?

How comforting and reassuring it is that someone cares about her, but how will she get better? I hope it won’t be a sad ending. How embarrassing! Poor Noel, always witnessing their embarrassing situations. Where are the children’s rights? Hahaha. Noel is so sweet, deliberately teasing Roderick. 😂😂💗
Artemtisforaday
I love how Diana uno-reversed the wall slam!
I feel like Noel is getting between them on purpose. He’ll allow hand holding, hugs, and kisses but anything more than that he’ll get in the way off.
