This was also information that Oh Minjung had just found out through the CN planning team leader. When the young junior asked where she heard it, Minjung nodded her head affirmatively.

“I was a bit surprised, but there’s talk that Director Tae made that decision after seeing me, the female lead.”
“Wow! It seems that Director Tae and you are quite close.”
“Well, rather than being close, it’s because of my outstanding appearance and acting skills……”
The trainees looked up at her with eyes full of admiration. They were looking at Oh Minjung, who was making up nonsense and going on as if it were true.

Minjung, who felt thrilled by this, became more arrogant.

However, sitting tight in the break room and bragging to her naive junior was quite ridiculous to anyone who saw her.

While they were listening to the story, Soyeon’s thoughts deepened.

It seemed like a bluff, but she couldn’t help but feel jealous of Oh Minjung, who could say such things with confidence and who would be side by side with Tae Seojun in one work. That feeling seemed to stimulate her to work even harder than now.

In fact, she had expressed her wish to participate in the drama directed by Director Yoon. However, there hasn’t been a hint from that side for over a week. This led to the guess that ‘maybe’ was ‘as expected’.

Although it was a long time ago, Soyeon, who still vividly remembers the harsh criticism she received at the audition from Director Yoon, couldn’t help but be disheartened, concluding that she won’t be cast because of that.

However, how long should I blame my misfortune and only suck my thumb?

How long should I just clap my hands in congratulations for the good things of others?

I must try even harder for my precious child I need to protect.

The reason Soyeon discreetly got up from her seat was because she thought it was right to go back to the practice room quickly rather than waste her precious time here and recite even one more line.

“Miss Eom Soyeon! Why are you getting up already? I’m not done talking yet.”
“Where else but the practice room. Like Miss Oh Minjung, I also want to become a great actor soon.”
Although she had a personality that could spit even in a smiling face, Minjung, who felt strange at Soyeon’s words of ‘a great actor’, lowered her loud voice with an uneasy expression.

“Well, it’s understandable for Miss Eom Soyeon, who gets rejected even if she shoves her profile in. Okay, go ahead.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
Soyeon, who was worried that Minjung would call her again and was walking out hastily while looking down at the floor of the break room, suddenly bumped her forehead into something solid.

Right then, cheers and exclamations burst out from all over the place.

“Oh my gosh!”
“Kyak!”
“It’s Director Tae!”
The eyes of the people were drawn to Seojun in an instant and it was a sound that rang out loud.

That’s right.

Seojun, who appeared here unnoticed, was standing casually leaning against a pillar that was supporting the center of the break room. The thing that Soyeon’s head had hit was his unusually wide and sturdy chest.

It didn’t feel hard, so it wasn’t a wall.

While everyone was making a fuss, Soyeon bowed her head deeply. Whether her action was a polite greeting or an avoidance, it was not wrong either way.

Regardless of either, Seojun, who could not like Soyeon’s attitude of avoiding his gaze, slowly dropped his gaze filled with a mocking smile.

Upon lifting her gaze briefly to that gaze, Soyeon flinched and hurriedly passed by Seojun and quickly left the break room.

Seojun pulled up one corner of his mouth, looking at her retreating figure as if he was not amused.

When she got off the elevator, Soyeon’s head, which had gone dark, finally began to clear up a bit.

Ah, I don’t know. Why does my perfectly fine mind become so distant just standing in front of him? Why do I act so flustered and foolish? Why do I keep wanting to avoid him?

Shrugging off the incident of her collision with him, Soyeon straightened her shoulders and confidently walked into the bathroom on the 9th floor.

The water in the electric pot was boiling vigorously.

Not long after, So Yeon swayed her head to the music that flowed from the radio. She skillfully set the tea cup taken out from the showcase, and put a slice of lemon in the warm black tea.

Could it be a habit?

She missed him to death for years. But now he was a man as frightening as meeting a goblin.

Yet, why did she long to see him again when he was not in front of her? The human heart was so treacherous. Even while humming a tune, her mind was filled with him.

So Yeon held a cup of hot tea in one hand and her phone in the other, blowing gently on the tea. The deep eyes filled with the tiny photo of a child on the screen soon became moist.

“So Yeon! You made it!”
So Yeon’s eyes squinted as she answered Ye Do Soon’s call. Her booming voice hit So Yeon’s eardrums.

“Made it? What did I make it to?”
“It’s the ‘Owner of the Sun’! The past character of So Ye Hwa! They say it’s you!”
It was a role fiercely competed for by the actors. Didn’t she not dare to expect it because of her bad relationship with Director Yoon? If this wasn’t good fortune, what was it?

So Yeon’s eyes widened.

“Is, is it for real?”
“Yes! Really, really, real!”
When So Yeon asked again, flustered, Do Soon answered over and over again. She was happier than anyone else.

“I just spoke to the head of the planning team? They say you need to meet with the drama production team tomorrow to sign the contract! Oh, shit! Why did they drag it out like this? Making the person waiting anxious!”
“…….”
Great. It’s too good.

Getting to do the work she had been wishing for. Being given a definite opportunity to show my efforts accumulated to everyone.

So Yeon’s heart pounded.

To make the time she had been distressed because she couldn’t expect anything disappear. So that the worry about the future, not knowing an inch ahead in life, could disappear into the distance.

But at the end of the sudden good news, like an unexpected gift, worries about the future and inevitable excitement stuck together.

Can I really only look at him as an actor?

Can I hide my feelings?

Can I endure him till the end, he who has no feelings for me other than work?

The Tae Seo Jun inside me and the Tae Seo Jun in reality may be completely different people, like black and white. If I were to work on a drama with him, direct physical contact would be inevitable.

If I can’t endure all that, I’d be swept away by the rough waves and float endlessly. It was something I needed to be prepared for.

The figure of Tae Seo Jun I saw in the break room a while ago was all dignity.

Weren’t the cold expression on his sharp features incredibly aggressive too? What are you going to do with your tiny self? His intimidating gaze that seemed to poke me was also something. But who wouldn’t be intimidated by such a man?

Yeah, let’s just clash once!

It’s do or die, Eom So Yeon!

So Yeon made up her mind firmly and vigorously shook off her anxious premonition. But at the same time, the teacup slipped from her hand and fell to the floor.

Crash!

The marble floor was a mess in an instant.

With the spilled tea and broken glass shards.

As if to show the impending storm that couldn’t be stopped by a firm resolve.

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!
