    🌼The second male lead is the male lead's brother, even more aloof than the male lead (who is shameless and ruthless in pursuing his love [laughs]). He has always liked the second female lead (the female lead's best friend and the male lead's sister) but dares not confess, only harboring a secret crush. The male lead has already noticed that the aloof second male lead likes his sister. They are 10 years apart in age, and it seems the age difference is 10 in both the main and side storylines 🤔
