The Sub Male Lead is Burning with Jealousy

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

“My feelings will never change, Angelica. I’ll bless both of you, so you can find happiness forever.”

A confession from a secondary male lead that wasn’t in the original novel. Rahil, who became emperor, vowed eternal love to the original female lead just before she went to the altar.

Now as the emperor, he needed to have an empress. But he wanted someone who wouldn’t torment his beloved Angelica. The perfect person for that role was Anais Ruol.

A woman who, despite her vow of eternity, dared to look down on the emperor with contempt. Indifferent to his love and clever enough not to hurt Angelica. A woman cold to love, cynical about it.

“There’s no one else but you. Someone who can stay by my side without wavering, who can play the role of a wise empress…”

“Let’s draft a contract. But before that… allow me just one slap.”

For Angelica, for the nation, his feelings towards Anais leaned more towards denial. Yet, strangely, every time he was with her, Rahil felt an unfamiliar and unbelievable flutter in his heart.

“You can’t… can’t kiss me!”

“Why?”

“Because my first kiss will be with another man!”

On their wedding night, Rahil was both shocked and betrayed by Anais’s explosive statement. But at the same time, he became even more determined.

“I’ll make sure you, Anais, will be the first to kiss me.”

Okay, ML Rahil fell in love with Angelica even before his marriage to MC Anais. There's nothing wrong with that in my own opinion, and we cannot expect sudden romance from ML towards MC just because she's the MC of this novel. Although the ml's favor towards ogFL or Angelica is so cliche and superb, (imagine marrying a woman just so to protect your true love is so out of this world fantasy, right?). But as sML of the ognovel then that is in the line and it seems... more>> that Angelica is not a bad woman after all. I can't blame MC's insecurities toward Angelica since she herself witnessed the oath the emperor gives to Angelica on her wedding day. I can't hate the emperor also, yes he's in love with Angelica before and maybe he mistakenly assume that he's in love with Angel but the reality is that, he is only begging for love. No one loves him dearly even his own parents that is why when Angelica came he pour all his emotion and mistake it as love for the opposite. When Anais came, like Sion said ML did not notice it but he's in love with her. ML is not opposing his feelings also, he adores her. He is unconsciously jealous already on the consorts.

This novel is interesting. The tl too is flawless. In ch 3 part 5 Sion's narrative as he compare Anais to Euphira (Rahil's mother), it's not that Rahil felt something for Anais because she resembles his mother by face. It's like, she resembles his mother in the sense of being indifferent and distant towards ml. ML craved much of his mother's love but was ignored, that is why he seek it to Angelica but the latter chose Theo the ogml. And then came Anais and brought back that side of ML which is craving to be loved. Sion is afraid that if Anais will continue to ignore Rahil and will fall with another man, the real danger might really come this time, as Rahil already fell for Anais but is still ignorant of his feeling. It's not that Rahil fell for Anais because she looks like his mother. <<less

    1. this is soooooo good want more and fast updates
    • Uh uh the male lead is sh*t when you read first few chapters."so what if I have slide flow of loving org female lead but I am sword master etc I am still the best candidate for marriage."
    • Female lead is sort of refreshing and has lots of brain to be honest. She don't fall for male lead or compete with org or change the original or something like that. She didn't do any of those weird things she is living her best life
    • Spoiler

      although her former fiance was load of sh*t. He actually cheated on her whole family in marriage. As having a mistress plus illegitimate child was not accepted in their society and yet he lied to her family that he had no relation with anyone thats his father's mistress and when the truth came out to FL engagement broke. She went to org fl's wedding and saw ML proposing to org FL. FL become disgusted and started staring at ml. ML noticed her proposed her, threaten her, married her and that how the story starts.

Anais, the MC, chose spinster-hood in her previous lifetime. Having been reincarnated into her new life, she avoided the main characters until the OriFL Angelica and OriML Theodore exchanged their wedding vows. As the sub-male lead, Emperor Rahil is met with an deriding eyes of Anais as he gives his blessing to his requited love, he wonders what is up with the woman. Upon pressure from his advisors to get married, he looks for an empress candidate that won't harm Angelica and the elements match Anais, a young woman from... more>> the neutral Ruol family that is currently dealing with cancelling Anais' engagement to Jeremy Noer due to him siring an illegitimate child.

As of eleven chapters, Anais has been forced to create a list of marriage conditions. It is a pretty arc that does a great job of showing just how resentful our MC is in being forced into the marriage. We are also given some inkling into her previous disinterest in romantic relationship and in her desire to have a family of her own. Whilst both Anais and Rahil are both clumsy when it comes to romance, there is some chemistry there. How well this plays out in the future will likely be coupled by the continuation of what is a very good translation by SL, a translation community that regularly delivers high-quality translations. <<less

I know everyone else has already said this, but this story is GOLDEN.

It’s one of those rare stories where both the plot and the smut are FANTASTIC.

PLUS the translation is perfect- so there’s no strange adjectives or weirdly phrased sentences that ruin the mood. Honestly, props to the translator.

(very very minor spoiler)

Might just be me, but I adore it when the ML is obsessively in love with the FL, but she refuses to give him the time of day. It’s an uncommon (-ish) trope that I’m OBSESSED with

The translation is great 5/5.

It's a light read for those who favor ML over fl. Drop it cause my blood pressure is getting high from watching ML doing countless sh*t and FL "forgives" him and falls in love (despite claiming she has a hard heart and was betrayed by her previous fiance). Maybe due to smut so no brain cell is ok (smut is meh btw in my opinion.)

... more>>
Spoiler

He forces her to marry him and proclaim his love to ogFL in front of her and wishes her not to harass ogFL after she becomes the empress. He took her first kiss against her wish "to be kissed by someone she loves". He uses contraceptive accessories without telling her to get closer to her. She says no and he didn't listen (and she lets it go like wtf? Have some self respect)

[collapse]

ML quickly falls in love with FL without realizing it feels so cheap. And very conveniently FL never realize her brother is very strong and will revolt if ML mistreat her, and her father will object to the marriage if he knows she was threatened by ml. Then the s*upid rings show up and they must be intimate is the last straw.

Maybe I need to turn my brain off for smut.

I would really want to read a novel where a FL is in the same situation as this but dispose of the emperor after having a child for the throne. And then date whoever she wants. <<less

It’s really good so far, the characters are likeable, the translations are really good. Only problem is that there are too few chapters out!

My gosh this novel pissed me off so much, when I was reading it in the early chapters I had so much hope for this story because it was really good in my opinion, but the male lead keeps pissing me off so much and the FL at first gave me hope that she won’t be so soft and is actually a nonchalant and hard-hearted woman but she also disappointed me. I actually tried to reread it again and perhaps give it another chance but was met with disappointment again... more>> what a waste. <<less

I honestly find this writer's novel weird cause she/he/they always add weird stuff to make FL feel pleasure only to ML's d*ck like wut??? N sadly the smut feels repetitive, so the smut kinda boring

But put that aside, the good thing is the writer always finds a way to make a plot feel fresh, that's why I put up with the weird stuff :' I already read 3 novels from this writer n it's all good.

So, where's the review of this novel???? Like I said, the writer is a... more>> good writer, she/he/they could make the plot feel fresh, and beat all the cliches, so the story seems more alive with characters that are not 2-dimensional. So does this novel😁 I love it although it's weird lol

*Note: I accidentally rated this 5 stars while it was supposed to be 4, I'm sorry☹️ <<less
