“Life is nothing special.
Let’s live roughly.
That was my motto.
Until yesterday.
“Ahhhh!”
“Oh my goodness! He’s so handsome!”
“Look over here!”
Cheers from the female students echoed.
A gathering of people like a cloud.
Among them were three guys at the center.
“Ahhhh!”
The short-haired girl next to me also screamed upon seeing them, still not completely sober.
“Joo Eun, did you see that? Did you see?”
Excited, the short-haired girl shook me by the shoulders.
I remained shaken and asked, “What?”
“What? Those guys!”
She grabbed her cheeks with both hands and let out an exclamation.
“Our school’s Three Boys!”
“……. ”
I had nothing to say.
No, I had plenty to say, but I couldn’t find the words to express them.
Fortunately, it seemed she didn’t expect a response. The short-haired girl turned her head and cheered again for the Three Boys.
“I love you, Three Boys! Ise Boy Sung Ji-chan! Cute Boy Ban Ha-min! Chic Boy Seon Woo-jin!”
Are they in their right minds?
I looked at the short-haired girl with a skeptical gaze.
Whether I said anything or not, she was already in a state of euphoria.
“They made eye contact!”
They didn’t even look in our direction.
But for a love-struck teenage girl, the truth didn’t matter.
“Oh, I’m so happy!”
The short-haired girl, her expression dreamy, blushed.
I watched her seriously.
“Is she serious?”
I seriously wondered if the whole world was trying to deceive me as a group.
What was strange wasn’t just the short-haired girl next to me.
A group of girls a little distance away from me was talking.
“Did you hear that?”
“What?”
“Last time, a guy from our school almost got beaten up by students from another school downtown.”
“Oh, that? Didn’t they say it was resolved? Why are they suddenly bringing it up?”
“Actually, it was the Three Boys who saved him!”
“Wow, really?”
“They’re so cool!”
“Three Boys are like heroes!”
Talking as if they were a righteous gang. Was this some kind of paradox?
My face soured involuntarily.
‘I want to go home…’
The first class of the day hadn’t even started yet, but I already felt drained.
I seriously considered skipping school and shook my head in frustration.
And that’s when it happened.
The short-haired girl suddenly brightened her eyes and asked me.
“Joo Eun, who do you like the most among the Three Boys?”
Who they are and what they look like, I still didn’t know any of the Three Boys.
After all, today was my first day of inhabiting this body.
And from where I was standing, I couldn’t get a good look at their faces.
But I couldn’t just let it pass without answering. I had no choice but to make a response.
“Well, I like them all… equally.”
I barely managed to hold back the foul language that was about to come out.
‘Alright, this should sound natural enough.’
But it seemed that such a simple answer wasn’t enough to satisfy them.
The short-haired girl’s gaze became more intense.
“But if you had to choose just one?”
I had no choice.
I reluctantly added, “Really. How could I choose? They’re all annoying.”
Oh no.
My true feelings slipped out.
I broke into a cold sweat.
“Huh? What did you say?”
Unable to come up with any words, I tightly shut my mouth.
Just then, the bell rang. It was time to return to the classroom.
“Come on, come on, now’s not the time for this. We’ll be late. Let’s go back quickly.”
I tapped the short-haired girl’s back and changed the subject.
She seemed a bit disappointed, but she nodded obediently.
‘Phew.’
That’s how I barely managed to salvage my social life.
‘Close call.’
As I walked back to the classroom.
I turned around and glanced back.
Far away, I could still see the Three Boys, surrounded by people.
‘Those darn Three Boys.’
I climbed the stairs while grinding my teeth.
That’s right. Three Boys.
Not the Four Heavenly Kings, but Three Boys.
The main characters of this crazy school drama.
‘Darn it.’
In my otherwise uneventful life, something very eventful had just occurred.
In short, I’ve been transmigrated.
But to where?
“Inso.
‘That’s just my luck.’
Until yesterday, I was an ordinary office worker.
If there was something slightly unusual about me, it was that I read a lot of web novels, that’s about it.
Other than that, I was just your average citizen you’d find anywhere.
But why did I transmigrate?
‘Sigh…’
To understand the full story of this transmigration incident, we need to go back to what happened last night.
It all started with that comment.
“Oh, it would be great if the female lead were a hidden powerhouse! lol”
Just a common comment on a web novel I enjoyed reading.
Normally, I would have just passed by such a comment without a second thought.
But for some reason, that day, the word ‘hidden powerhouse’ caught my eye.
“Hidden powerhouse?”
Yes, hidden powerhouse.
A powerhouse hiding their strength.
It’s the ultimate popular cliche in the world of web novels.
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!
