She's a Villainess but her Husband is Handsome (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 126
Elina’s expression turned blank, as if she’d been struck hard on the back of the head.
Numerous thoughts and scenarios flooded her mind, yet she felt utterly flustered, her thoughts going completely blank.
“Are you very startled?”
Snapped back to her senses by the low voice, Elina looked straight at the man studying her face.
His eyes and expression held no trace of hostility or wariness.
First, she needed to figure out where this man had started hearing their conversation and why he had brought it up now.
“I never imagined you’d have overheard.”
Elina let out a flustered whisper.
“I didn’t hear your entire conversation from the very beginning.”
“From where did you start listening, then?”
She clenched her hands tightly on her lap, trying to appear tense, and asked.
“From the moment Young Duke Sion asked you if what you’d done was truly your doing.”
Elina strained to recall the brief exchange she’d had with Sion that day.
‘He pressed me, accusing me of conspiring with Lorraine, and after I denied it, what did we talk about next?’
She groped through her hazy memories again and again.

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!

comes with a pain as if your heart is splitting in two.
Poor Roberto—why doesn’t he just confess to her? Jane also needs to live with someone she loves and think about her future.

Heh heh. Letting out a malicious chuckle, Sion placed the paper back on the desk
Oh my God, why don’t they get rid of that filthy Sion? Cedric Lauren is in danger—a curse upon that filthy Sion.

Edmund, who had been staring blankly at Sion’s outstretched hand, gently took it
I didn’t like this Edmond from the start; he is clearly a wicked scoundrel. I hope he doesn’t get his hands on poor Lauren.

You filthy scumbags—I hope Lauren doesn’t get hurt. Why aren’t you doing anything?
Stupid, stupid Cedric—if only he realized the barbs in Edmund’s words. They want to kill her; why isn’t he doing anything?
Hahaha, Cedric has completely corrupted our dear Lauren; she’s become a total pervert. You deserve what’s coming to you, Cedric.🤭💗
