To Become Family with the Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 26
Thunder crashed, and the clamorous sound filled the empty corridor.
Outside the window, visibility was hazy, making it hard to see clearly. I changed into fresh clothes and roughly dried my wet hair. It took me no more than ten minutes to tidy my face and body.
In truth, there was something more important than washing up. I gazed at the quiet corridor beyond the door.
‘Now’s my chance.’
Confirming the maids were absent, I immediately dashed to the study and stood before a golden suit of armor far taller than myself. In my hand was gripped a longsword with a razor-sharp blade.
“It was definitely said to be a real blade…”
Because Father feared sharp weapons, this was the only usable sword in the mansion. Still uneasy, I’d dragged along everything that could threaten an opponent—sandbags, needles, dart pins, you name it.
‘This should be enough, right?’
With these weapons, at the very least I wouldn’t be slaughtered like a helpless dog without even a single act of defiance.
I wasn’t a fool. I wouldn’t repeat the same mistake twice.
‘I’ll protect myself.’
I trusted my instincts. That gaze I’d felt at the mansion’s front gate wasn’t coincidence. Someone had been watching me—and that person was likely connected to the mysterious woman the servant mentioned.
“Miss? What are you doing?”
Viti entered through the open door crack, carrying a basket of freshly laundered clothes. A faint scent of soap drifted from her.
“I’m the master of this mansion now. It’s my duty to protect it.”
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!
