The Days of Being the Male Lead in Public and the Female Supporting Character in Private

The world had changed drastically. Zheng Xuanyi woke up to find himself in a pitch-black, perilous land. Thanks to the precious cloak that had inexplicably appeared on him, he survived there in peace for a long time, until a man broke in and upended his life.

The man was gravely injured and unable to leave. Seeing that they were of the same kind, Zheng Xuanyi couldn't bear to abandon him, so he fed him some of the things found in the perilous land. The man's injuries healed, and he even broke through to a new level. Then he promised his unborn daughter in marriage to Zheng Xuanyi.

Zheng Xuanyi had meant to refuse, but when the cloak broke as he helped the man leave the perilous land, he had no choice but to ask the man to take him in.

He stayed for twenty years. During that time, the man led his organization in nearly wiping out the zombies that had ruled the land, then drove the sea beasts that had come ashore back into the ocean.

But Zheng Xuanyi knew nothing about any of this. He simply enjoyed ten carefree years in the Spring Blossom Hall of the sect the man had founded, then spent another ten years in the back mountain. Now the daughter the man had promised him was finally old enough to marry.

When Zheng Xuanyi emerged from seclusion, he discovered that the man had promised his daughter to someone else?
