Who Regressed the Timekeeper? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 101
“……Will it work out?”
When Amy glared at him, Noah grinned brightly as if he’d expected just that. Seeing the joy and happiness rippling across his handsome face made her stomach churn strangely. Amy cleared her throat awkwardly.
“Anyway, we should hold a banquet.”
“A banquet? How tedious. I barely have enough time just being with you—do we really have to…? Oh, of course we do!”
Noah, who had been grumbling, quickly changed his tone when Amy shot him a glare so sharp only the whites of her eyes showed. She clicked her tongue inwardly and spoke.
“The visit to House Viscon and your incredible achievements at the martial tournament… all that is in the past now. You see, when people cling too tightly to past glories, they inevitably ruin their future. So let’s focus on what lies ahead.”
Hearing a sermon fit for a Sunday service at the cathedral, Noah rubbed his eyes. He’d just had a hallucination of Amy standing before him with long white beard and Bible in hand, bestowing blessings upon him.
“We’ll send invitations to the nobles and royal courts of every nation. As a commemoration of His Highness’s return, we’ll temporarily exempt the imperial domain from taxes. We should also invite House Viscon, and while we’re at it, perhaps discuss a treaty of friendship with the duchy beforehand. Announcing both His Highness’s victory in the martial tournament and this alliance during the banquet will send shockwaves across the continent! Hehehe.”
Amy, who had been smiling contentedly like a predator savoring its prey, suddenly paused and frowned.
“Your Highness… are you praying to me right now?”
“Huh? Ah, no….”
Noah, who had been clasping his hands devoutly toward Amy, quickly tucked them behind his back. Amy eyed him suspiciously, then covered her mouth with a fist and cleared her throat.
“In any case, for these reasons, I’ll be extremely busy, so personal matters will have to wait. Do you understand?”
While she was at it, he might as well consider whether proposing marriage right now would be acceptable. Yet, instead of pondering deeply, Noah blurted out something entirely unexpected.
“Right, so after the banquet, I can kiss you, right?”
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!
