“Yikes, it’s Cha Kanghyun.”
“Seo Yoon came with him.”
As the two entered the movie theater, people who hadn’t expected their appearance screamed, and the camera journalists became busy.
In the chaotic scene, Kanghyun, fearing that Yoon might get hurt, pulled her into his arms and quickly walked past the photo wall.
Once Kanghyun and Yoon entered the screening room, murmurs erupted throughout.
“Come this way.”
An official guided them to their seats. As Kanghyun affectionately wrapped his arm around Yoon’s shoulder, people started taking pictures of them.
“That’s a side of Cha Kanghyun I didn’t expect.”
“He even carried her when she was discharged. It must not have been a set-up.”
“Would Cha Kanghyun do something like that intentionally?”
“Maybe.”
“But they look so lovely together.”
People watched Kanghyun and Yoon with a mix of envy and admiration.
“Are you okay?”
Kanghyun asked as he helped Yoon into her seat, concerned about her complexion.
“I’m fine.”
“Did I bring you here for nothing?”
He worried about facing the crowd when leaving the cinema.
“I haven’t been to the movies in a long time.”
Unlike Kanghyun, Yoon seemed excited.
“So, do you like it?”
When Yoon expressed wonder, exploring the cinema, Kanghyun, who had been irritated by the people earlier, smiled again, as if nothing had happened.
“But seriously, did you really only watch my movies?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a true honor.”
Kanghyun pulled Yoon into a hug and kissed her on the forehead. The crowd erupted in cheers once again. Today’s audience was overwhelmed, holding phones high to capture the “YoonCha” couple.
“So, what’s your favorite movie genre?”
“I haven’t watched many movies. Anything entertaining except for horror is good for me.”
“You’re still like a child, Yoon. Were you scared of ghosts?”
Kanghyun found Yoon’s fear of ghosts adorable, and his tongue involuntarily stuck out.
“Just in case they appear in my dreams.”
“I see. Then, we shouldn’t watch scary movies from now on. No more horror movies at home! You’re so cute; I might die.”
Kanghyun stroked Yoon’s shoulder and pulled her into an embrace. Her squishy presence made his heart tickle.
“Do you know what our Yoon loves?”
Kanghyun whispered softly into her ear.
“Yes, Oppa.”
Yoon also whispered into his ear.
“Ah, so cute.”
Kanghyun’s body shivered.
Those who watched the sweet interaction between the two were left speechless.
“It’s a loss if you envy them.”
But they had already lost. Envy could drive them insane. The movie began, and Yoon became more immersed. The film was more entertaining than expected, with a fast-paced plot and outstanding performances by the actors.
“But why does he keep undressing and showering? And why does he shower so often without any reason? Even when a colleague unfairly died, he immediately stripped and went for a shower, showcasing various ridiculous poses.”
The title should have been ‘The Crazy Guy Who Showers All Day Long.’
The problem was that his physique was quite impressive. Sighs of admiration echoed throughout the audience.
And now, once again, the entire screen was filled with a spectacle of flesh tones. Now, the camera zoomed in to focus on the abs.
However, the problem was that his physique was quite excellent. Gasps from the audience could be heard here and there.
And now, once again, the entire screen was filled with a spectacle of flesh tones. Now, the camera zoomed in to focus on the abs.
“Gosh, the director must have gone crazy over Lee Minseok’s body.”
Kanghyun couldn’t bear it any longer and covered Yoon’s eyes.
“Kanghyun, why?”
Yoon looked puzzled.
“Yuna, there’s a ghost now. It could be dangerous if you watch it.”
Kanghyun said with a frightened expression.
“What?”
“It’s really scary. I’m scared like this; you might faint. That’s definitely a ghost that will appear in your dreams. Ugh, frightening.”
Kanghyun laughed like a ghost in the darkness.
After the preview, Kanghyun and Yoon attended the after-party together. It was not the kind of gathering he particularly enjoyed, often either showing his face briefly or avoiding it altogether. However, today, with Yoon by his side, it was somewhat enjoyable.
“It’s hard to see President Cha’s face after he got married. But today, I understand why our President Cha doesn’t come out of the house. Because he has such a beautiful wife…”
As if possessed, the spotlight shifted from the lead actors of the movie to Kanghyun and Yoon.
“Are you okay?”
Kanghyun was concerned about Yoon’s well-being among unfamiliar people.
“I’m okay.”
Even when talking with others, Kanghyun kept an eye on Yoon, making sure she didn’t feel left out. So, she felt completely comfortable.
“We’ll leave soon, just endure a little longer.”
“It’s not that difficult.”
Contrary to Kanghyun’s worries, Yoon enjoyed the gathering. It was fascinating to see actors she had only seen on TV or in movies in person.
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!
