The Plan of the Terminally-Ill Wife's Divorce (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 101
“In short, the Mountain Clan aided the Demon King’s resurrection through human sacrifice, so they lost this land and were cursed. Anyone who enters the Northern Mountains loses their way—only the Mountain Clan can find the path, and that’s a consequence of that curse.”
“…….”
“For so long after the Mountain Clan’s downfall, no one knew the exact reason. We only vaguely suspected and hated Inkheart. In our people’s memory, the last thing he did was lead an army here and destroy the temple.”
Foreign interference is always viewed negatively, he said with a shrug.
“I think the souls sacrificed here as offerings while waiting for the prince kept asking, ‘Why? Why did we have to die? When will the prince come? Was our blood not enough?’”
Arshama stared at the altar of the ruined temple—the altar that had demanded blood until the very end.
“I am the one chosen to return to the past and undo my people’s mistake. From now on, no more blood will be offered upon this altar. The Demon King’s ritual is over.”
He placed the Mountain Clan’s sacred relic, which he had worn around his neck, onto the altar. Unlike before, when it had performed miracles, the relic now showed no reaction at all. Yet he looked satisfied.
“The outsiders will now reclaim their names and become the Mountain Clan once more. The curse over these Northern Mountains has been lifted, so people will be able to come and go freely.”
If I could ask for just one more thing, he smiled.
“I hope the snowstorm over these mountains stops and the ice melts. Trade between Herschma and Inkheart will flourish then.”
Meanwhile, I tried my best to understand Arshama’s words.
So, Inkheart had discovered that the Mountain Clan was performing rituals for the Demon King and tried to persuade them to stop—but they refused to halt the ceremony. In the end, Inkheart resorted to force.
And in the process, the Mountain Clan mistakenly believed Inkheart had oppressed their people… was that it?
Thus, though the Demon King’s resurrection was ultimately prevented, the ritual had already progressed too far, causing countless lives to be sacrificed. That, it seemed, was why monsters still roamed the Northern Mountains to this day.
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!

How despicable is the King of Souls! Why did he do that? Will Darius really die?
Oh my God, poor Darius and Annette, what will happen? Will they not live long?
Oh, what is this? We’ve been waiting for this moment so impatiently, and it ends so quickly? So boring! There’s absolutely no romance.

What stupidity! He’s clearly allied with the devils, but would he really take Darius’s life? I hope not.
