Lost in Desire: After Being Dumped, I'm Spoiled Rotten by the Devoted Second Male Lead

[Substitute + First Love + Groveling After the Breakup + Second Male Lead Wins + Childhood Friends + Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger]

Ye Lixue learns through social media that Shen Lixiao has thrown a party to welcome his first love, Xu Zhiwei, back to the country. The two greet each other with a passionate kiss.

His friends say she's only a substitute and will never measure up to Xu Zhiwei.

Shen Lixiao even claims she wouldn't survive without him.

But she builds a thriving career, and soon she has plenty of admirers around her.

She thinks she won't fall for anyone easily in this lifetime.

Then, at a party, she meets a man as gentle as jade and breathtakingly handsome.

“Hey, handsome, you must have the wrong person. We don't know each other.”

The gentle man pulls her into his arms and whispers in her ear, “Lixue, would you like to make Shen Lixiao leave you alone?”

She agrees in a panic, and from then on, falls right into the big bad wolf's trap.

People say Gu Yunjin is gentle as jade, ruthless in his methods, and uninterested in women. So why is he nothing like the rumors?

When Shen Lixiao sees the girl who once loved him dearly smiling radiantly in another man's arms, he regrets everything.

“Lixue, I've already broken up with Zhiwei. I'll never flirt with another woman again. I'll devote myself to loving you. Will you come back to me?”

The man's eyes are bloodshot. His former arrogance is gone, replaced by abject humility.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Shen. I've found someone I love, and he treats me well. What's past is past. I hope you find someone better.”

Gu Yunjin chuckles and kisses the girl's forehead.

“Shen Lixiao, Lixue and I grew up together. If not for that accident, would you ever have had a chance with her?”

“Now that she's back by my side, you have no chance.”
