The Price of the Devoted Second Male Lead's Rise to Power

After the “wife-chasing crematorium” drama, I didn’t choose the male lead who had finally seen the error of his ways. Instead, I got together with the devoted second male lead.

But before our wedding, he, who had always loved me, suddenly grew much colder toward me.

Then I overheard him complaining to a friend:

“I saw her being mistreated by her husband before, and I felt sorry for her. It was only natural to pity her.”

“But... to actually marry her and take over another man’s discarded wife? I have to admit, it makes me uncomfortable.”

Later, I broke off the engagement. But he came all the way to find me, dragging his battered body along, just to ask if I could forgive him.
