Blurb: #The Second Male Lead Wins#

After Tang Yanan breaks up with her boyfriend of ten years, her best friend of more than ten years, Tan Jishu, turns around and confesses to her.

The earnest look on her friend's face strikes Tang Yanan as utterly absurd.

Just like that, Tan Jishu replaces her original intended marriage partner.

-

For ten years, he watched the person he loved fall in love with and kiss someone else.

All he could do was stay by her side as a friend and an onlooker.

Then one day, fate gave him a chance.

Tan Jishu reached out and seized it without hesitation.

-

Tang Yanan always thought Tan Jishu didn't love her, and that he married her only because of their ten-year friendship.

It wasn't until later that she found an old photo album on Tan Jishu's bookshelf.

Tang Yanan has a copy of this album too.

It holds every memory of her youth.

But when she opens Tan Jishu's copy, every picture inside is of her.

It turns out someone really can love another person quietly for ten years.

Content warnings and notes:

1. The male lead has had previous partners. Readers who prefer chaste characters, proceed with caution.

2. Marriage before love, from the heroine's side only.

3. This should count as a story where the second male lead wins.

4. The male lead will have his own little schemes after marriage.

Blurb for Drowning Lover:

After many twists and turns, Xu Mu arrives in Nanrong Town to find her lover.

After all these years, he is no longer gentle and no longer loves her.

So Xu Mu draws him in.

They begin to get to know each other again, and then fall in love.

-

Meng Shize has recently started dating a woman.

By their third date, she says she loves him deeply and wants to marry him.

The woman gazes at him with bone-deep tenderness,

as if he were the person she loves most in the world.

Her love pours over him like a waterfall down a mountain stream.

Meng Shize soon loses himself in it.

He thinks he can no longer live without her.

Until one day, the truth is cruelly laid bare.

Meng Shize watches the affection slowly disappear from the woman's eyes.

Only then does he understand: she "loves" him

because he has the same face as that man.

Reader's guide:

1. The male lead has had previous partners. Readers who prefer chaste characters, proceed with caution. Fans of the male lead, please be kind and click away if it's not for you.

2. A cliché body-double plot. The male lead is a substitute from beginning to end.

3. The main story has an open ending, or you could call it a bad ending. The bonus chapter has a happy ending.

4. No criticism of the heroine is welcome. Any such criticism will be reflected right back.

Theme: Live well.
