I awakened when the novel had already reached its happy ending. Even the bonus chapters were up to Chapter Three.
It turned out I was the gentle second male lead in a novel, in love with the heroine for years without ever winning her heart. I had silently protected her all along, only to endure the pain of letting her go and sending her to the male lead.
According to the principle of balancing things out, or perhaps to satisfy the readers’ wishes, I was about to find my own happiness in the bonus chapters: getting engaged to the heroine’s best friend.
But why should being the male lead’s buddy mean I have to marry the heroine’s best friend?
No way. After awakening, I’m marrying that scheming villainess instead!
