The Duke Only Needs My Child (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 101
Herdin stared at the empty bed, then strode over and ran his hands over the blanket.
The sheets were already cold, the warmth long gone—proof she hadn’t merely stepped out briefly.
The anxiety he’d managed to forget for so long surged back, chilling his blood to ice.
“Blair.”
Herdin searched every place Blair might be—her dressing room, the bathroom, the library, and finally Pipi’s room—but she was nowhere to be found.
Not in any part of his domain.
Only Pipi’s empty room, the one he’d brought back inside last night because of the chilly air, silently confirmed it.
Blair wasn’t here.
“My lord, what’s—”
Mason, who had come down to the estate’s central hall early that morning, spotted Herdin briskly moving through the mansion, radiating an icy chill, and stopped short as he approached.
Herdin’s blue eyes, scanning every corner of the estate, gleamed with a sharp, dangerous edge.
“Blair is gone.”
“Sir?”
“Has anyone seen her?”
Mason, about to reassure him that Blair might have just gone for a walk, fell silent at the murderous glint in Herdin’s eyes.
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!

Oooooh I didn’t expect Katrina to be uninvolved! I mean, clearly the Pope was in on it because Esmeralda was investigating her brother’s death but I at least expected Katrina to be a co-cospirator… Well, I don’t really care, she has been horrible
Punishing her would bring the case to a close, but it would only serve to tempor
The worst part is that I believe her 🥲I think the pope (who is Herdin’s uncle) is the one who killed Esmerelda (his half-sister).
