The Second Male Lead Became the Dragon-Bound Hero’s Wife

Yun Qinghui is the young sect master of one of the five great cultivation sects on the continent. He has been exceptionally gifted since childhood, with cultivation far beyond that of his peers. He always thought he would be the protagonist of this world. Until one day, he suddenly awakens to the truth and discovers that the real protagonist is someone else, a man named Shi Zhe. Born into humble circumstances with an ordinary level of talent, Shi Zhe relies on inhuman effort and one opportunity after another to trample every sect and so-called prodigy beneath his feet and dominate the world. When he first learns this, Yun Qinghui is indignant. He repeatedly sets traps to test Shi Zhe, but every time Shi Zhe escapes danger and even gains a new opportunity. His luck really is like that of Heaven's chosen son. Since he can't change the course of the world, Yun Qinghui, as the young sect master, has a duty to win Shi Zhe over, so his sect won't end up opposing the male protagonist in the future. He gives Shi Zhe rare treasures, spirit stones, cultivation manuals, and helps him escape danger time and again. Their relationship rapidly grows closer. They eat and sleep together, go everywhere together, and are only one step away from sharing a bed. Yun Qinghui is very pleased. If he can't be the protagonist of the world, then he'll be the protagonist's mentor. At least he can help his sect prosper. Later, the two enter a dungeon together. The final boss is a bewitching demon, an expert at ensnaring people's hearts. Shi Zhe is struck by an aphrodisiac spell, and unless he has sex with someone, his qi will explode and kill him. Remembering the original story's plot, Yun Qinghui hurriedly says, "Wait here. I'll go find you a woman to, " Before he can finish, a pair of scorching-hot hands clamp around his ankle and drag him deeper into the cave 2. When Shi Zhe was young, he often watched the village entrance's Er Gou read storybooks. A renowned sect's female disciple falls for an ordinary junior brother and gives him rare treasures and protective artifacts; a demon clan's young lady falls hopelessly in love with a righteous sect's disciple... Later, he too embarked on the path of seeking immortality and the Dao. There was also someone who gave him magical treasures and cultivation manuals, put him first in everything, protected him at every turn, and understood him. Looking at the other man's impossibly beautiful face, Shi Zhe understands. Oh, this is my wife! Scheming, aloof, beautiful male second lead in the receiving role x common-born, overpowered protagonist in the attacking role Major warning: The receiving lead schemes to kill the attacking lead three times in the early chapters!! Coming soon: The Lazy Fish's Secret Guard Promotion Diary Male university student Chu Shi has been transmigrated for twenty years and now works as a secret guard in a prince's manor. His job: spend his days zoning out in trees, on walls, and on roof beams, with early and late shifts. It's an easy job, with the occasional field assignment to kill someone. His hobby is saving money to buy his freedom in the future. Chu Shi, whose life is highly regimented, recently got a boyfriend. His boyfriend is a student who has come to the capital for the imperial exams. He's refined and handsome, bright as a pearl and as radiant as rosy clouds. He's the most, most beautiful man Chu Shi has ever seen. Chu Shi is completely smitten with his boyfriend. When he learns the man is short on money, he offers to rent him a private courtyard, hires someone to cook for him, and goes to his boyfriend's place right after every shift. Afraid of interrupting his studies, Chu Shi even limits how long they spend being affectionate each day. Chu Shi firmly believes that with his boyfriend's talent and knowledge, he'll surely pass the imperial exams with flying colors. But when the results are posted, his boyfriend's name is nowhere on the list. At the time, rumors are circulating in the capital that the spring exams were tainted by corruption and cheating. Furious, Chu Shi puts on a mask and storms into the residence of the chief examiner, the Minister of Rites, in the middle of the night. He wants to see who dared to ruin his darling boyfriend's future! Beneath the gleaming glass lamps, several high-ranking officials kneel and tremble. And his boyfriend, usually a bookish scholar, frail and helpless, is seated at the head of the room in a dark robe embroidered with golden dragons. Dim light sweeps across his profile, and his jade-like, handsome face radiates the menacing authority of someone who commands life and death and tolerates no argument. It turns out he isn't some poor scholar who came to the capital for the exams. He's the crown prince. On the way back to the manor, Chu Shi is in a daze. He doesn't know whether to keep pretending he knows nothing and continue dating the crown prince, or brazenly dump the heir to the empire. The next day, when his boyfriend asks with concern why he didn't come over the night before and whether he was sick, Chu Shi startles and wisely decides to keep pretending he knows nothing. After fifteen years in the prince's manor, Chu Shi has saved enough money to buy his freedom. At last, he can live as a free man. On the day he leaves the capital, he tells no one, not even his boyfriend, who has been missing for five days. At dawn, Chu Shi rides out of the capital in plain clothes. He hasn't gone far beyond the city gate when a troop of black-armored cavalry silently appears on the road ahead like ghosts. The man at their head wears a black robe and dark crown, seated astride a magnificent steed. His lips curve into a smile, warm as jade. He speaks in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Where are you going, big brother? You left without a word. Could it be that you're abandoning your little Lin?" Chu Shi's "little Lin" can't lift or carry a thing. Whenever trouble arises, he blinks his pair of peach-blossom eyes and calls out in a soft, helpless voice, "Big brother, this is too heavy. Little Lin can't carry it..." Whenever that happens, Chu Shi takes pity on him and tells him to go inside and study. He can handle this kind of rough work himself. Later... "Big brother, you're too heavy. Little Lin can't take it," the man says, blinking his peach-blossom eyes with breathtaking charm. Damn it! Chu Shi curses inwardly as he struggles to lift his hips. "Then I'll go a little lighter."
