“There’s nothing for now.”
Being a doctor, having a territory, and liking you…
“There’s nothing for now.”
“…Who are you?”
The voice of the awakened grandmother echoed in the room.
“I’m Taylor Lawrence. I’m Reyna’s friend. She gave me permission to visit often.”
“Uh, pancakes?”
A laughter-filled, affectionate response was heard.
“Yes, pancakes.”
But Reyna couldn’t bring herself to return to the room with Taylor and her grandmother.
The heir at the top of Loomos nervously touched the corners of his mouth.
And he recalled the face of the woman who was terrified beyond the carriage window.
‘…It was Lady Christina. No doubt.’
The Lady with blonde hair and blue eyes, escorted by Arthur, whom he had seen in the dressing room in front of the court.
He remembered the events from a few hours ago.
When he saw her being abducted by masked criminals on a carriage, he doubted his own eyes.
What’s going on?
Lady Christina kidnapped by thugs?
Didn’t that carriage come out of the mansion?
Then did such a thing happen in the middle of the mansion?
How could such a thing happen?
“Chase! Chase that carriage!”
Regardless of his bewildered and surprised mind, he instinctively shouted.
“We must not let it go!”
At the same time, realization struck him.
This is an opportunity!
They were eagerly preparing to create an opportunity to meet ‘Julius’ and meet them properly.
Believing that Lady Christina would definitely go out again, the heir of Loomos had been waiting for the chance to realize their scenario, wandering around and acting around, preparing for the unexpected situation.
And unexpectedly, this situation had some resemblance to the scenario they had devised.
“Is it an attack? Should we wear masks?”
“No! What nonsense are you talking about! Chase and save her!”
Disguised as a bodyguard of the top, he had planned to fake an attack on her carriage like bandits, then pretend to be strangers and appear to save her, gently bring her to the mansion, and leave a strong impression on Lady Christina.
In a state of pretending not to know that she is Lady Christina, he would become her lifesaver first, and then subtly hint at her identity during the process of bringing her.
He was keenly aware of her elegance and nobility.
“This Lady who is likely to be attacked in a place like this. Your dress. And your dazzling blonde hair and unmistakable beauty. You are Christina Julius, aren’t you?”
Then the next step is inevitable.
If he returns to the top, waits silently, Lady Christina will undoubtedly send people from Julius Mansion to politely call the top.
When he enters the reception room with the butler’s guidance, Lady Christina will greet him.
“Thank you for last time. I am in your debt.”
And.
There were subordinates worried about what to do if the target found out, but he was confident that there was almost no chance of the guards catching up as long as he only instilled fear and escaped without causing any major trouble.
If she was a noble lady who valued honor, she would likely want to cover up such a story.
It would be a fatal issue if there were rumors circulating about what might have happened to the lady.
It would also be harmful to the honor of General Arthur, who was a high-ranking military officer.
It was quite a satisfying plan.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want to play the role of rescuing a helpless beauty in danger?
And if there were additional benefits such as saving the heir of the top Loomos, it would be killing two birds with one stone.
Moreover, the opponent was the Empire’s top beauty shrouded in mystery.
And wouldn’t Lady Christina enjoy the thrill of revealing her true identity to the one who saved her life?
There was no reason for the relationship not to turn out well.
The plan was perfect.
If only the assault and rescue were realistically accomplished…!
“But is Lady Christina really being attacked by thugs?!”
Who were the bastards who made the first move?
He felt that the plan had deviated a bit, but the heir of Loomos quickly ordered the guards hiding around him to change the operation.
“Save her! No matter what happens, save her!”
“Yes!”
Crazy bastards, don’t wear masks!
Anyway, if they could save Christina, who was almost kidnapped, they would undoubtedly become their benefactors.
To the Julius family and to Arthur, who was considered quite pitiful.
Then, the trust and one or two contracts of the top Loomos would become insignificant.
It was even better since there was no worry about being hindered by the assault.
It was an excellent opportunity.
But the problem was that in the actual situation, they had no ability to rescue ‘Lady Christina’ as planned.
“…Wait a minute. This could be a problem.”
The guards who had ridden horses somehow began to scream one by one, falling off their horses for some reason, and the carriage that was getting farther away with a fierce momentum,
The heir of Loomos realized that it wasn’t just a slight deviation from the plan but a complete failure.
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!
