Wishing My Husband Dead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 126
The more she mulled over the fact that she had to die tomorrow, the more furious and aggrieved she became, crying so hard her eyes swelled up. Cordelia had cried until exhaustion, lying unconscious on her bed, and woke up not long after.
[You’re crying every time I see you.]
She didn’t know how Roti had found this place, nor did she care. She was already overwhelmed just trying to cope with her own situation.
Seeing the gray dog—now noticeably plumper—made Cordelia’s sorrow surge again, and tears streamed down her cheeks. Her eyes stung from crying so much they’d become raw.
“R-Roti… Hhuuuuh… I-I-I’m… going… to… die… now… Hic.”
[Get up and put some clothes on. Your master’s about to do something insane.]
“I’m going to die—sob—die! I won’t even be able to feed you anymore… Hhuuuh…”
[You’re not dead yet. So stop sniveling and get up.]
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Cordelia, soaked in tears, abruptly stopped crying at Roti’s words. Though dogs shouldn’t be capable of such expressions, Roti’s eyes clearly conveyed exasperation as he urged her onward.
[Don’t make me repeat the same thing three times. You need to stop your master.]
“S-Stop? What’s he doing?”
[I’ll explain while we go.]
Roti leapt lightly off the bed. Cordelia blinked in confusion, then finally got up after Roti urged her again. She wiped her damp eyes, hastily dressed, and followed Roti.
It was deep night; apart from the chirping of insects, everything was unnervingly quiet. As they passed through the dark corridor, Roti spoke.
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!

“You mean… make a contract?”
So her mom was even stronger than her? Or atleast stronger than she is currently
Everything was finally connecting.
Who cares who your father is? Just beat everybody up and then no one will be able to talk about it 🤣
"About the marriage—I’d like you to reconsider."
Gahh! Please don’t do this. I’m all for angst, but this is unnecessary.
