Hazen, who was protesting against Kite’s instruction, cautiously asked.
[/Party Why ask something so obvious? Ruela, don’t worry. I’ll make sure the reception room is cleaned up right away.]Ruela paused at Raphael’s confident response.
[/Party It’s not just the ‘reception room,’ it’s also the study. Count Line is also visiting.] [/Party It’s a mess right now with the new aides taking over… Can’t we talk with Countess Line in the reception room?]Even with Raphael’s awkward tone, Ruela couldn’t tell her to do so.
[/Party It might be better to separate the couple. Information comes from both sides.] [/Party Well, I guess we can’t help it. But will guests be visiting the mansion frequently in the future?]Hazen asked, and Ruela hesitated before answering.
[/Party I don’t know. But there’s no way we can prevent something like today from happening again, right? Currently, Peroz Mansion is the safest place in Kuran.] [/Party It seems so. Understood. The new aides might be a bit surprised, but I’ll show the power of summons. Let’s clear it up within 10 minutes.]Ruela approached the carriage parked at the end among several carriages waiting in front of Line Mansion.
Raphael’s coachman, who came as a driver today, opened the door and asked.
“What about Your Highness and Lady Tien?”
“They’ll come soon. Look, they’re coming.”
Around Kite, today’s invited guests were gathering, making noise as they exchanged greetings.
“Your Excellency, please respond to my invitation next time.”
“Your Excellency, here’s my business card. Could you take a look at it sometime? My father is engaged in trade, and you might have a good conversation.”
Ruela climbed into the carriage and looked out the window in contemplation.
The main topic of today’s tea party was the trade with Elab.
Trade with Elab. Even though it’s highly unlikely that Kuran Royalty or the Balder Guild would easily hand over that right, people tried to get Kite to talk about trading with Elab.
Suddenly, the thought occurred to her that by exploiting their desires, she might be able to gather more information about Kuran Royalty.
Ruela sighed and opened the talk forum.
There were no new boss strategy information since the clown Horyna.
Considering that the update hadn’t been carried out yet, she checked that the Legend Guild had disclosed the number of keys they had collected so far in yesterday’s post.
They had a total of five keys.
Despite being far ahead of others, they didn’t disclose any information about the bosses they had keys for, their locations, or strategies.
After seeing that post, users stopped sharing what they knew. They were all reminded that this was a competition.
The lower-ranking guilds and ordinary users, who couldn’t catch up at the speed of the Legend Guild, fell silent as the top guilds aiming to conquer Kuran Duke listed their names. Consequently, even the lower-ranking guilds and general users who participated in boss raids without any information refrained from sharing the hard-earned know-how. The forums were flooded with bragging posts using reports like acquiring keys of a certain color.
Other than the fact that the third demon is a knight named Pata, there was no other information. From now on, with hints obtained by assembling letter fragments received from defeating hidden named mobs and mobs giving keys, they had to find and eliminate the next named mobs.
Ruela looked at the popular posts on the Legend Guild that were uploaded. They had only collected two keys, but they already had five. After all, it was the guild that had never missed the top spot in the world’s most popular game. There were even companies that provided financial support to allow them to focus only on strategy. If you visited the Legend Guild’s homepage, there was a separate board explaining the products sold by companies sponsoring the guild, along with their advertisements, in addition to various strategies and reward lists.
Thinking there might be some information, Ruela considered checking the Legend Guild’s homepage. However, she couldn’t access pages other than the strategy forum. The window in front of her was a game screen, not a computer.
If the Legend Guild had revealed information about bosses on their homepage, it would undoubtedly have been discussed on the talk forum. Ruela, while bragging about the collected key list, looked at the posts that did not reveal the names of the monsters but tried to guess the order in which she had obtained the letter fragments.
Receiving excessive magic power, he turned into a monster… There was a need to hide it thoroughly… The situation was serious. She hadn’t been there when she first opened the door to the magical world… it wasn’t that serious, but occasionally, strange… made a ring to seal the magic power… at the age of 18. However…
Ruela attached the letter fragment obtained from capturing the clown Horyna yesterday to the back.
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!
