1v1, pure love between both leads / a touch of a reverse harem / melodrama
[Serious version: After an accident left Li Yuzheng all alone, she unexpectedly received an angel's kindness.
When he was ten, she put a folded paper crane into his palm.
He clenched it in his hand and willingly became her shadow from that day on.
She was the heiress of the Wen family, with a fiancé and a bright future.
He was an orphan, quiet and solitary, with only one door that would always be open for her.
On a rainy day, she casually tossed him an umbrella without checking whether he caught it.
During all three years of high school, she passed him in the hallway and never said she knew him.
He knew he shouldn't hope for anything.
It was enough just to watch her from afar.]
[The not-so-serious version: I woke up to find I'd transmigrated into a romance novel my younger cousin had been reading!
But I'd only transmigrated into a minor character in the book who shared my name. If I'd known this would happen, I would've stayed up all night downloading that Tomato app and reading every single word.
I quietly watched the heroine, Wen Qingyi, and the hero, Gu Lanting. I thought they'd go through all the twists and turns of love and hate my cousin had described and end up with a happy ending, but then I realized the real story wasn't nearly so dramatic.
It wasn't until Li Yuzheng, the supporting male character who had a crush on the heroine, became my friend that I got close to the plot for the first time and experienced what it meant to be the devoted second male lead in a novel.
Wanting to spare my buddy some heartbreak, I told him to give up on the heroine, only to discover that the story's plot had already veered far from its original course.
Did the devoted second male lead take the lead instead?]
