As Go Hyun Ah first explained the direction she would move in and started to move, Seol Ji Oh tried to follow her movements.
Then,
“Aaack!”
Go Hyun Ah collapsed, clutching her stomach.
“Ms. Hyun Ah?!”
Startled, thinking she might have bumped into him, Seol Ji Oh caught the collapsing Go Hyun Ah.
“What’s wrong? Did you get hit?”
“Ah…! My, stomach!”
Seol Ji Oh looked around anxiously. Go Hyun Ah’s manager, who was always accompanying her whenever she moved around, was nowhere to be seen today.
Seol Ji Oh looked at Go Hyun Ah in confusion.
“Should I call an ambulance? Are you in a lot of pain?”
“In my room…! I have medicine in my room. It’s that day… of the month.”
Seol Ji Oh looked at Go Hyun Ah, who was speaking shyly, with a perplexed expression.
There was no one else to support Go Hyun Ah at that moment, so it was up to him to help her to her room.
However, for some reason, he hesitated.
“Ah…!”
Go Hyun Ah doubled over, clutching her stomach.
Seol Ji Oh, seemingly left with no choice, helped the collapsed Go Hyun Ah stand up. He couldn’t just leave his coactor lying on the ground.
Once they arrived in Go Hyun Ah’s room, Seol Ji Oh helped her lay down on the bed and brought her the medicine. After taking the medicine, Go Hyun Ah thanked him, her face pale.
Seol Ji Oh contacted the director first and then left Go Hyun Ah’s room. But Go Hyun Ah, who had been lying down, got up and followed Seol Ji Oh.
“Mr. Ji Oh!”
“You didn’t have to get up…”
Go Hyun Ah, who had poked her head out of the door, said this, her eyes cutely squinted.
“Thanks to you, Mr. Ji Oh, I’m feeling a bit better. Thank you so much! You’re a lifesaver!”
Seol Ji Oh raised his eyebrows ever so slightly.
He didn’t feel he had done anything to warrant being called a lifesaver, and he thought her reaction was somewhat excessive.
However, he couldn’t bluntly criticize her, so he feigned a gentle tone.
“…No, I haven’t done anything.”
Just as he was about to turn around, Go Hyun Ah stopped him again.
“But I’m really worried. What will happen to the scenes we couldn’t shoot because of me? Was the director angry?”
Whether she was worried about the delayed shooting or not, Go Hyun Ah was rolling her big eyes back and forth, seemingly at a loss. She appeared regretful and worried that the filming that so many people had prepared for was being postponed because of her.
He gave Go Hyun Ah’s shoulder a couple of reassuring pats, indicating that she needn’t worry too much as he understood her feelings.
“Since they said you can shoot tomorrow, don’t worry today and take a good rest.”
At these words, Go Hyun Ah looked up at Seol Ji Oh with a sheepish smile.
That was all there was to it.
That was truly it, but he was baffled as to why the photo came out looking so affectionate.
He had only spent about five minutes in Go Hyun Ah’s room.
It was surprising enough that such a short moment had been captured, but why did what happened last night turn into a love rumor by the next morning?
Something was odd. It only made sense if someone had been intentionally hiding and watching.
Seol Ji Oh’s mood soured, and he clenched his teeth.
He stood on the deck, quietly looking down at the sea. Even amidst his frantic thoughts, he thought of Yeo Woon.
How surprised must she have been.
Seol Ji Oh was struggling to suppress his urge to run to her right away.
She really shouldn’t get the wrong idea.
At the same time, at the airport.
Yeo Woon was staring at the TV screen with a blank face. She had no idea what she was looking at right now, whether she was reading the text correctly, she knew absolutely nothing.
Her hands began to shake, and her mind went completely blank.
After a while, Yeo Woon finally managed to pull out her phone and open her call log, staring at the name at the top.
Seol Ji Oh.
First, she needed to ask Seol Ji Oh.
Biting her dry lips, Yeo Woon pressed the call button. She was scared of what he might say, her body involuntarily began to shake.
[The phone is off, connecting to the voicemail……] Yeo Woon put down her phone with a look of disappointment on her face. Trying hard to steady her shaking heart, she murmured to herself.“There’s no way. It can’t be.”
He patted Go Hyeon Ah’s shoulder a couple of times, as if to tell her not to worry too much, as he understood the feeling.
“You said we can film tomorrow, so don’t worry today, take a good rest.”
At those words, Go Hyeon Ah laughed heartily, looking up at Seol Ji Oh.
That was all.
Really, that was all, but it was baffling how the photo came out so affectionate.
The time he had stopped by Go Hyeon Ah’s room was only about five minutes.
It was surprising that this brief moment was captured, but what happened last night exploded into a love rumor the next morning?
Something was strange. It only made sense that someone was watching in hiding, with intent.
Seol Ji Oh was disgusted and gritted his teeth.
He stood on the deck, silently looking down at the sea. Despite his busy thoughts, he thought of Yeo Woon.
How surprised she must have been.
Seol Ji Oh managed to suppress the urge to rush to her right away.
She must not misunderstand.
Same time. Airport.
Yeo Woon looked at the TV screen with a vacant face. She had no idea what she was looking at, whether she had read the letters correctly, she knew nothing.
Her hands were shaking and her head was completely white, no thoughts came to her.
Yeo Woon, after a while, picked up her cell phone and opened the call log, looking at the name at the top.
Seol Ji Oh.
The first thing was to ask Seol Ji Oh.
Yeo Woon bit her dry lips tightly and pressed the call button. She was afraid of what he would say and her body started to shake involuntarily.
“There’s no way. It can’t be.”
He definitely said in a sweet voice last night that he wanted to see her, that he was happy because he could see her tomorrow.
There must be some misunderstanding.
Then Yeo Woon’s cell phone vibrated. When Yeo Woon checked it right away, the caller was Seo Ga Ram, not the one she was waiting for. She received the call with a somewhat drained expression.
“Ah, Ga Ram.”
[Did you see Seol Ji Oh’s scandal? What is this?]
“……I don’t know either.”
[Did Seol Ji Oh, this bastard, flirt with you and sneak around with Go Hyeon Ah?!]
Her head throbbed at Seo Ga Ram’s gruff voice. Yeo Woon tried to calm Seo Ga Ram down.
“Ga Ram, it’s not like that. There must be some misunderstanding. Ji Oh is not that kind of person.”
[…Are you saying this after seeing the photos? They captured them coming out of the hotel room! Where are you now? Can you contact Seol Ji Oh?]
“His phone is off. He must be flustered because of the scandal…….”
[Ha! If it really isn’t true, shouldn’t he contact you first to tell you not to misunderstand?]
“……Ga Ram. Let’s talk later. I can’t think straight right now.”
Yeo Woon ended the call. She understood Seo Ga Ram’s fury, but she didn’t want to hear more because her head was getting complicated.
Yeo Woon hesitated and then typed ‘Seol Ji Oh’ in the search bar. Already dozens of love rumors articles were posted.
She scanned articles with sensational headlines attached one after another about the scandal of

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!
