Harold was scheduled to meet the Emperor of the Empire as the representative of the Kingdom of Ronica, so Belia went to the room with only Clozé.
As soon as they arrived in the room, Clozé looked around Belia’s staying room and exclaimed with admiration.
“Wow. Is this where you stay, Unni?”
It wasn’t extravagant, but there was nothing unimpressive from the furniture to the decorations.
“Indeed, it wouldn’t have suited here if that sculpture were present.”
Clozé said with a serious expression.
Belia, noticing that expression, burst into laughter.
“Are we still talking about that?”
Why does the conversation about that ugly sculpture never seem to end?
With a mischievous smile, Clozé, who seemed to have noticed Belia’s careful thoughts, said,
“…Still that story?”
Even though they exchanged frequent letters, meeting in person made them even happier.
“I missed you.”
“Me too.”
Even though they frequently exchanged letters, meeting in person made them even happier.
“Belia, it’s been a while.”
Clozé greeted Belia with a warm welcome, and they chatted like a family who hadn’t seen each other in a while.
“How have you been?”
“I’ve been well. What about you?”

“How have you been?”
“I’ve been well. What about you?”
“More importantly, what does it say there? Read it quickly.”
Even Clozé’s urgency was strange, and Derick, who sent the letter to Clozé, was also strange.
Belia pulled out the letter with an uncertain heart and began to read.
And there, unexpected stories were written.
‘…What?’
Belia looked at Clozé in astonishment.
“Why are you making that face…? What does it say?”
As if realizing something herself, Clozé, with a calm expression, finally glanced discreetly.
Seeing the still chubby Clozé, an involuntary sigh escaped.
Belia read the letter again, confirming it was catching fire, and threw it into the fireplace.
“Since when?”
“What?”
“You like Derick.”
“Is it written like that? That’s why you ran away.”
Clozé responded with a calm face.
The more Belia thought about it, the less she understood.
They seemed to get along well with the young aristocrats of Ronika!
Why Derick among so many people!
Finally losing her composure, Belia burst out again.
“You’re only sixteen now! You haven’t even had the coming-of-age ceremony!”
“I know. Who cares.”
“Derick is nine years older than you! He’s even older than me!”
Belia shouted in shock.
“It doesn’t matter. He’s younger than Herald Ora-brother. And when did people consider age when looking for a marriage partner?”
Clozé asked as if it wasn’t a problem.
“…I would get married if I had just had the coming-of-age ceremony.”
Belia was surprised to hear a small mumble.
“What?”
“No, nothing.”
Clozé quickly raised her head.
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!
