From a young age, Taeha had always treated Sihyun with great respect. He never did anything she told him not to, and, conversely, did anything she asked for. Although he generally had no interest in others, he was always meticulous with Sihyun, generously giving her anything she wanted.
Therefore, Sihyun secretly regarded Taeha as the easiest and most straightforward person in the world, even now that they were in love. However, who would have expected the complete opposite in bed?
Trapped in the strong, muscular arms, Sihyun forgot about her pride and sobbed.
“Please, stop, okay? I’m exhausted.”
It was already halfway between breaths after crying out loud in his arms several times. Softly kissing Sihyun’s ear, Taeha reassured her.
“It’s okay, I can do it.”
The voice was tender, but the gaze was that of a predator looking at its captured prey.
It was like a lion playing with the captured prey after capturing the nutrition. Rather than biting the throat at once to end it, he kept tormenting just enough to make her suffer, keeping her in his arms and endlessly playing.
It wasn’t like he was forcing her against her will. While playing leisurely with a persistent theme, he deliberately tormented her.
[Now you’re mine.]Whispering endlessly, he focused on leaving traces of kisses everywhere, as if engraving his mark.
[Tell me, huh?]As if constantly pressing Sihyun for answers, it seemed like he was expecting a response, but since she didn’t know what he was asking in the first place, there was no way to answer.
In the end, Sihyun had to cry and beg, and only then did he quietly sigh and give her what she wanted.
Caught up in pleasure, it was absurd. Where on earth did he learn such things?
If the other person had been a different man, even with a woman, there would have been at least a hundred others, but this man was undoubtedly his first.
In other words, it was just innate.
A young beast born with the temperament of a predator had no mercy. Soothing and comforting the exhausted Sihyun, he inevitably rekindled the flame after she had already died and revived several times.
Too much heaven becomes hell. After dying and reviving in his arms many times, Sihyun completely melted away.
“Can I rest for a bit, huh?”
Holding the struggling Sihyun, Taeha looked down at her with a strong arm. While the face clearly belonged to the Yoon Taeha I knew, the gaze seemed like that of a different person.
“Yeah.”
Even though he replied like that, his actions were the opposite.
Taeha lifted Sihyun as if she were a paper doll, lightly placed her on his firm thigh, and embraced her from behind, whispering.
“Nowhere else to go.”
The fervor that seemed to have extinguished after she completely melted away rekindled at the sensation of kissing her exposed shoulder.
…So, it started again from the beginning.
Tormented by sweet agony, Sihyun, abandoning her pride, pleaded.
“Taeha, please. Okay?”
“Tell me with your mouth.”
Carefully raising her trembling neck to the delicate throat, Taeha persistently pressed for an answer.
“I’ll let you rest if you tell me.”
What on earth did he want me to say?
As Sihyun writhed to escape, Taeha, with his powerful arm, confined her and whispered.
“Now you can’t go anywhere.”
Engrossed in leaving traces of kisses on the exposed shoulders, he seemed to be enjoying the sensation of the prey he captured.
…So, again, it started from the beginning.
At the genuine plea, Taeha, who seemed to have been genuinely surprised, quickly wrapped her in a sheet, laid her on the bed, and gently wiped away the tears flowing down her cheeks with his lips.
“Was it that hard?”
Although she had said it was hard several times, where on earth did he hear that? Even more tears welled up. They ordered room service for breakfast and lunch and spent the whole day locked in the bedroom. Wasn’t it obvious that it would be hard?
“Are you even human?”
Sihyun bit her lip and delivered a firm punch to Taeha’s broad chest. No matter how hard she hit, he didn’t flinch, making it even more frustrating.
“I guess I shouldn’t have started dating you. It’s too hard; I can’t take it anymore!”
“Sorry. I thought I was just playing around….”
His eyes, which were usually focused like a predator targeting its prey, now returned to their usual affectionate gaze, relieving her a bit.
“Can I hold you?”
Nodding helplessly, Sihyun let Taeha pull her into his arms. He whispered apologies, repeatedly kissing her hair.
“I really messed up. So, don’t just talk about breaking up, okay?”
His voice sounded genuinely uneasy, and Sihyun felt an “uh-oh” moment.
“Why are you so surprised? It’s just words.”
Lying back, her face looked excessively neat with a worried expression. Looking at that face, Sihyun sighed. That damned face that seemed like it could dispel a thousand years of resentment.
“But if things go on like this, I might not be able to survive my expulsion. Please, give me a break. Don’t you hate it if I die early too?”
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!
