My Brother Takes the Male Second Lead's Place, So I Give Way to the Heroine

My older brother was the second male lead who won the heroine's heart, marrying the Shen family's little princess, Shen Qingning.

At my brother's wedding, I fell in love at first sight with Shen Qingyan, the head of the Shen family, who was also my sister-in-law's older brother.

Thanks to my top-tier simp skills, I managed to get my foot in the door and marry Shen Qingyan.

The story should have ended there, with my brother and me both living happily ever after.

But the good days I'd imagined didn't last long.

My sister-in-law's first love came back from abroad, and she became distracted, her eyes red and her return home later and later each day. My brother's head began to glow faintly green.

Shen Qingyan's unrequited first love also returned from abroad for medical treatment, and the way he stared at me every day gave me the creeps.

Having read more than a hundred groveling-ex-husband novels, I figured he had his eyes on my kidneys.

One dark and stormy night, my brother and I stared at each other.

"Where's your sister-in-law?"

"Where's your brother-in-law?"

We both sighed at the same time.

"Bro, to save my kidneys, I have to leave. You have to stay strong on your own."

"Then let's go together. If I run fast enough, that green hat can't catch me."
