To The Eternal Knight (2 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 51
“Please, instead of thinking about those wretches, think of the countless people Countess, you saved.”
“Martha… do you know me?”
Nerea cautiously asked after swallowing hard, then pressed her ear to the door. A voice, strangely muffled, continued from the other side.
“At the very least, I know you were the first person the Countess came to rescue.”
In an instant, Nerea flung the door open. Martha stood before it, holding a large chest, and looked at Nerea with reddened eyes before smiling.
“The Kerkli Peninsula—that is, present-day Olondo Territory.”
A faint ripple struck Nerea’s chest with a soft thud. So it hadn’t been avoidance—it had been consideration, so as not to burden her. The moment she realized this, she saw Martha’s worry for her etched clearly in her wrinkled face.
“In case you find my words hard to believe, please look at this together with me. I deliberately sent the more talkative ones to Olondo Territory around the time I expected the Countess to arrive. I was afraid you might worry about us while still adjusting yourself. But the people sent to Olondo have written me piles of letters, all eagerly hoping to see the Countess again.”
Nerea lifted the letters piled high in the chest with trembling hands. Just as Martha had said.
—”Head Maid, when can we return to the Countess’s estate? We truly want to express our gratitude without causing even the slightest trouble or burden to the Countess.”
—”It seems all traces of the horrors from the Kerkli Peninsula days have now vanished from Olondo Territory. I think the Countess will be pleased when you visit Olondo someday. We still remember how sorrowful you looked even after rescuing us.”
Her hands, clutching the letter, shook violently. Her heart swelled so intensely she couldn’t tell if it was joy, sorrow, or something else entirely.
She wanted to read more letters, yet her trembling hands could barely hold even a single sheet.
Sensing Nerea’s state of mind, Martha began reading aloud on her behalf.
“This is a thank-you note from Daphne, who works in the kitchen. And this one’s from Will, who used to work in the stables…”
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!
