[The Second Male Lead Wins]
Lou Qingyi got together with Wei Zhengxiao when she was eighteen, and stayed by his side for seven years. He gave her money and status, turning her into the most beautiful heiress in the capital. Everyone thought she would become Mrs. Wei one day, and even she almost believed it.
During an intimate moment, Lou Qingyi kissed Wei Zhengxiao and asked, "Do you love me?"
The hand around her waist loosened slightly. His low, sensual voice held a cool clarity. "Qingyi, we agreed not to talk about that."
She lowered her eyes.
"All right."
Later, Lou Qingyi got into a car accident on her birthday. Everyone came to see her in the hospital except Wei Zhengxiao. Instead, she received a photo of him dining abroad with another woman.
Lou Qingyi shed her last tear for Wei Zhengxiao.
Beside her hospital bed, Li Huaimo quietly watched her cry. At last, he gently wiped away her tears and asked, almost as if casting a spell, "Lou Qingyi, will you come with me?"
Lou Qingyi had nothing left to lose. She smiled sadly and took Li Huaimo's hand.

Li Huaimo once saw a woman at a Las Vegas casino. She was young and beautiful, irresistibly alluring, and one glance was enough to leave anyone entranced.
But he soon discovered that she belonged to his friend. Li Huaimo treated the encounter as a chance meeting and chose to forget Lou Qingyi.
Later, Li Huaimo brought a destitute Lou Qingyi home. When Wei Zhengxiao stormed into Li Huaimo's house to find her, he saw Li Huaimo pinning her against the dining table and kissing her.
Wei Zhengxiao trembled with rage and punched Li Huaimo, demanding to know if they were still friends.
Li Huaimo simply smiled, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and calmly said, "We used to be. Not anymore."
There were only two things he loved doing: taking advantage of someone's vulnerability and stealing what someone else loved.

The day before Lou Qingyi and Li Huaimo's engagement, Wei Zhengxiao stopped her downstairs at her apartment building and held her tight.
"Qingyi, come back to me. Please."
Wei Zhengxiao was rarely so downcast, but Lou Qingyi only gave him an indifferent look and asked the same question again. "A-Xiao, do you love me?"
Before he could answer, Lou Qingyi pulled his hand away from her. Her expression was clear, and her voice was just as cool as his had always been.
"But I don't love you anymore."
-
"There can only be two people in a relationship. Forget him and come into my world."
