    The female protagonist is an ordinary person. Once she comes to the world of modern heroines, there are two male protagonists, a rich and arrogant man and an ordinary and cowardly man. I have always wanted to read this kind of novel. There is no such thing, so I wrote one myself. When I read the novel, I wanted to see more scenes between the female protagonist and the male protagonist, but there are very few such novels. I know that it is inevitable for the author to promote the supporting characters in the plot, but my eyes are not under my control and automatically target the male and female protagonists, so it is both satisfying and unpleasant. And I rarely see ordinary male protagonists, so I wanted to write one 🌚, but no one is reading it now. This post is quite active, so I will post this recommendation. There is a fair-skinned rich man who is arrogant, and a light-colored man with a sweet temper and a bit of timidity. After a few people establish a relationship, because there is only one heroine, she interacts with both sides, and the two of them have little time to spend alone with her. From time to time, they are a little overt and secretly poking at her like a little grudge. The husband asked her not to leave. After the heroine left, he sat alone in the empty room.
