“Get up. So, how were they?”

Responding to Duke Kuran’s command, Marquis Gart, who had been kneeling, stood up and answered.

“They were just ordinary people.”

“Explain in detail.”

“Guild members gathered and stood idly without any purpose.”

“No one they contacted?”

“Yes, there was none from the Peroz Guild or any other nobles. They just had some casual conversations with a few associates of Ruela Romine.”

“Casual conversations?”

“Yes. They were just ordinary talks about clothes and accessories. Oh, and they briefly mentioned Baron Valder.”

“What did they say?”

“Well, I…”

In Gart’s awkward expression, Gedis chuckled.

“Even if they said something about Valder, don’t you know it’s not a big deal anymore? Speak quickly.”

“When Miss Maria Rosete mentioned that she was planning to be engaged to Baron Valder, they congratulated her.”

“Congratulated…”

“Yes.”

Gedis frowned and turned his gaze back towards the garden.

“It’s not like her to say such things. Something seems strange.”

Ruela Romine was just an ordinary lady until she gained the rumor of being a temptress.

Before acquiring the reputation of being a flirt, she was a typical noble lady who tried hard to please higher-ranking nobles to be visible to them and begged lower-ranking nobles and commoners in a condescending manner.

Originally, she lived in Kamun Mansion with her brother, so she never dared to oppose the Kuran royal family.

However, lately, she seemed determined to act as if she belonged to the royal family. When did this change occur? Before or after the incident?

“Did she cause trouble with Cedesthe after the incident that occurred right after the fight between Kamun Viscount and Valder?”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Considering it as not particularly important, Gedis initially heard it and overlooked it. However, he began to think it might not be the case.

“How did she behave when there was trouble with Cedesthe?”

“She was extremely fearful. Naturally. She knows better than anyone what happens in this country if you oppose Valder or the Kuran royal family. I heard that she continuously urged Viscount Kamun, her brother, to reconcile with Valder.”

“Did Viscount Kamun refuse?”

“Yes. There were rumors that he intended to oppose Valder by carrying his wife on his back.”

Gedis nodded, recalling the incident.

“Yes. That’s when Valder killed Maria’s husband without my permission. And then, Maria, for revenge, tried to kill Ruela, that girl.”

“Yes, that’s correct.”

Gart shook his head, unknowingly recalling the events of that time.

At that time, Duke Kuran dealt with the situation as if it didn’t matter as long as Maria didn’t die.
She seemed completely indifferent to becoming a widow, and perhaps because of that, there were times when Gart wondered what kind of existence his daughter was.

It was clear that he loved and cherished her. However, whether it stemmed from a father’s concern for his daughter or if it was because she was valuable to his kingdom, Gart couldn’t be sure.

“Marquis Gart.”

Gedis looked at his vassal.

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

“The maid clearly said that the girl named Ruela died at that time, right?”

“Yes. According to the maid’s words, we confirmed that she was definitely dead. However, she later wandered around, raving in fear, saying she had come back to life.”

At that time, the maid serving Ruela had indeed been killed. Marquis Gart chuckled as he recalled the maid’s final expression.

“It’s absurd to say that a dead person came back to life.”

“Is it?”

Gart closed his mouth, realizing the implication of Gedis’ question.

The named monsters that Duke Kuran cherished were created by infusing the dark energy into the dead. Hence, there was little difference between resurrecting the dead and creating these monsters.

“I apologize, Your Excellency. I misspoke.”

Gart’s apology brought a bitter smile to Gedis’ face.

Lacking self-awareness of their identity, they were nothing but monsters injected with the dark energy while still alive, just like Valder or Maria. No, to be precise, should they be called ‘soon-to-be’ monsters?

The monsters he created sometimes had self-awareness, sometimes not. The difference was whether he made them from the dead or from the living.

He shifted his gaze back to the garden, reconsidering the stories he had heard about Ruela Romine.

Not long ago, Maria, who had visited him, mentioned that Ruela Romine had lost her memory.

Was that why she changed so much?

In the past, she would never have parted ways with Valder and turned the Kuran royal family into an enemy. Moreover, after receiving a declaration of hostility and not only asking for forgiveness but also joining another guild and attending the bustling grand ball? It was an unthinkable event.

Since the investigation began after Ruela Romine, found in Cedesthe’s bedroom, went missing, she had secluded herself in the mansion for a while.

For someone with vanity, such an investigation would have been extremely painful.

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!
