To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 151
The Emperor stared with an utterly exasperated expression at the Grand Duke and Nerea trailing behind him, then glared furiously at the Chief Steward standing further back.
He had clearly ordered that no one but the Grand Duke be allowed entry—what on earth was this situation now?
Under the Emperor’s accusing gaze, the Chief Steward stammered out an excuse in a trembling voice.
“Your Imperial Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. I tried to stop Count Esteban, but they entered here before I could even halt their steps.”
“Is that truly so?”
The Emperor’s gaze fixed on Nerea as if he wanted to devour her. Nerea, however, simply looked toward the Chief Steward instead of replying. There was no falsehood in his words.
It was indeed true that not only the Chief Steward but even the younger stewards had been mobilized to block Nerea’s path.
Yet what was left unsaid was how, upon hearing a single sentence—“Whose path do you dare block?”—the stewards and Chief Steward, who had never once drawn a sword, meekly stepped aside.
The Chief Steward, who once haughtily repeated only the phrase “Wait here” to Nerea like a mindless parrot, had now become nothing more than an old fox relying solely on the Emperor’s authority.
But that wasn’t the only thing that had changed.
“Count Esteban, your reckless treatment of the Chief Steward borders on defiance of me. Though this demands strict discipline, I’ll let it pass for now. I have matters to discuss with the Grand Duke—please leave.”
Though the Emperor feigned generosity, rumors already spread wildly throughout the palace that he had secretly manipulated Gabe Esteban to attack the Valer Territory. Thus, it was the Grand Duke who now held the upper hand.
That was precisely why the Emperor suppressed his frayed nerves and waited patiently for Nerea to leave. If only Count Esteban would step out…
“I humbly apologize, Your Majesty. However, as you yourself stated, I am a coward—I cannot possibly stay alone.”
“How dare you! Do you honestly believe I, with no knights present, would ever let harm come to you!”
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!
