Blair swung the wooden plank a moment too late, and the man effortlessly grabbed and tossed it away. Due to the force, Blair, who was holding the plank, fell backward.

“Ugh…”

The man seized Blair’s ankle as she attempted to retreat.

“I didn’t free your arms and legs for you to play cute tricks like this. Cute, though, even in that terrified expression.”

“Let go of this!”

Blair desperately struggled, but it was futile to break free from the man’s grasp.

The man pinned Blair down with her two legs and retrieved a small glass bottle from his pocket.

“If you behave, I’ll treat you nicely. How about that?”

Blair, with the determination to grab onto anything as if catching a straw, found something in the man’s hand. She desperately swung it.

“Ahh!”

A sharp piece of the plank cut across the man’s eye.

“My… my eye!”

Due to this, the small glass bottle the man was holding slipped and rolled away.

Blair’s body started trembling as she witnessed the dripping blood.

However, there was no time to linger. It was the moment to escape.

Blair exerted an almost superhuman strength, pushing the man away, and fled from the abandoned house.

“Where the hell are you?”

Staggering, the man chased after Blair out of the abandoned house. Before him lay a lake, and next to it, a dense forest spread.

In that brief moment, Blair had disappeared.

“Damn it…”
The man muttered curses as he paced around. He needed to capture Blair again and set up the situation before Wesley arrived.

“There’s no ferry, and she wouldn’t have gone towards the lake.”

As the man scanned the area towards the lake, he heard rustling sounds from the forest. He rushed in the direction of the sound.

As the man’s footsteps gradually faded, the suppressed breath under the pier where he stood burst out.

“Huff…”

Under the large tree roots leading to a small cliff connecting to the lake, Blair was hiding.

Blair released the hand that covered her breath. Her entire body trembled, and breathing was difficult.

“Pull yourself together. You can’t sit here.”

Blair got up with a shaky body. Then, she fled in the opposite direction from the man.

At the abandoned house where the two had disappeared, only red blood was left.

Heradin, who discovered it, approached and touched the blood with gloved hands. It was still fresh. His eyes sank coldly.

He quickly searched through the abandoned house.

Like any place untouched by human hands for a long time, dust had accumulated. And on top of it, there were two sets of footprints.

One belonged to the man, and the other was from a pair of high-heeled shoes.

Maidens wear low shoes for convenience while working. Therefore, the high heels belonged to the lady or the young miss.
Heradin spread his hand to measure the size of the remaining shoe prints.

The owner of the shoes had small feet. The size was similar to what he had seen when he grabbed Blair’s ankle on the bed.

At the starting point of those footprints, there were traces of dust and blood smears, along with sharp wood fragments smeared with blood.

If the attacker were a man, even without such a crude weapon, he could have easily subdued a woman of this small stature with just his bare hands.

Therefore, the probability is high that the woman used the wood fragment as a weapon.

“Given that the attack landed, the woman fled, and the man chased after her…”

Heradin’s expression as he reconstructed the scene froze moment by moment.

Wesley, who was standing beside him, was momentarily surprised by the unfolding events that deviated from his plan but quickly spoke casually.

“I thought I heard a noise… Maybe it was just the sound of the wind—”

Before he could finish speaking, Heradin grabbed Wesley by the collar and slammed him against the wall.

In response, the knights of Lord Baldwin, who were standing behind Wesley, drew their swords simultaneously.

“What’s the meaning of this sudden action!”

The knights of Denmark also unsheathed their swords. The atmosphere, which had been like walking on thin ice all along, escalated into a tense situation.

However, Heradin, who had actually created the situation, seemed indifferent.

“Is this your doing?”
It was a voice steeped in the somber darkness of the forest. In Heradin’s inquiring eyes, there was conviction and sharp vitality.

Wesley momentarily flinched at the momentum but quickly shouted nonchalantly, “W-what are you talking about? Saying it’s my doing?”

“When you’ve overcome countless near-death experiences on the battlefield, you develop instincts,” Heradin responded. “Rolling in a place where it’s difficult to distinguish friend from foe, you instinctively differentiate between enemies and allies before your thoughts catch up.”

In a battlefield where it’s impossible to discern who’s the enemy or ally, once you start rolling, instinctively distinguishing between the two becomes second nature.

“When I aim my sword after making a judgment, it’s already the moment a knife is at my throat.”

“My instinct tells me that you’re the enemy.”

“…….”

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!
