Thrilled by Madness (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 61
Do Soon had officially left Tae Seo Jun’s fan club as of today.
She had lived like a naive girl, yet suddenly found herself past the age of twenty-six—well beyond her prime. Looking back, she realized she hadn’t truly accomplished a single thing.
Years ago, she’d boldly declared to her parents that she’d become the CEO of an entertainment company, however small, and left home to live independently. Yet, comparing herself now to who she was back then, she saw virtually no change.
It was Eom So Yeon’s skyrocketing stock price following the broadcast of “Lord of the Sun” that jolted Do Soon awake. So Yeon was steadily achieving her dreams, so Do Soon knew she couldn’t afford to stay complacent with just her immediate tasks.
Still, having fixated solely on Tae Seo Jun for years, Do Soon couldn’t help but feel hollow, as if she’d just watched her one-sided crush drift far away—no matter how hard she pretended otherwise.
For that reason, Do Soon, for the very first time in her life, decided to treat herself and headed straight to the cocktail bar at El Stella Hotel, where she extravagantly booked an entire private room just for herself.
But once she’d laid out a twenty-one-year-old Glenfiddich whiskey and expensive side dishes on the table, she found herself wondering what on earth she was supposed to do alone in such a vast room. She briefly considered calling Eom So Yeon over, but her friend had been completely unreachable for three days straight.
Stranger still, the house that should’ve had four people—her mother, Hyun Woo, and the housekeeper—had been utterly empty for days. It felt eerie enough to make a ghost wail, so Do Soon tried calling So Yeon, only to find her phone perpetually out of service.
This clearly wasn’t an ordinary situation. Do Soon thought about calling So Yeon’s mother, but it might involve sensitive family matters she couldn’t openly discuss. Having received a message from So Yeon three days prior saying she’d return soon and explain everything, Do Soon had no choice but to wait silently for her appearance.
“Seriously, this girl’s always swamped and full of secrets!”
With no other option, Do Soon started entertaining herself alone and soon became thoroughly drunk—her throat already hoarse and her mind dizzy.
After loudly singing her heart out, Do Soon cleared her throat with a few coughs, set down the microphone, and gulped down the remaining whiskey in her rocks glass.
Then, as if struck by an idea, she tore a long strip of tissue, stuck it under her eyes, puckered her lips into an exaggerated pout, and took a photo against the backdrop of the grand, opulent room—mocking her own sadness.
[Here I am, all by myself, So Yeon. Can’t you stop ghosting me and just come here? I’m dying of loneliness.]
After sending that photo along with her current location and a message describing her melancholy mood to So Yeon, Do Soon spent another hour wrestling with the microphone.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
