In every old-fashioned novel, there's a second male lead. Maybe he's the heroine's childhood sweetheart, or maybe he fell in love with her at first sight. Whenever she needs help, he's there in an instant, doing everything he can for her. And in the end...
Ding!
"You're a really good person, but I've always thought of you as a brother."
"I'll let you off this time, but stay away from XXX from now on!"
The childhood sweetheart turns and throws herself into the male lead's arms, leaving the second male lead to be cruelly plotted against by him, his family ruined and his life destroyed.
"Thank you for helping me and my son all these years, but now my baby's father has realized his mistake. I can't keep holding you back."
"That XX incident was just a warning. If you still don't know what's good for you, I have no problem letting you learn what bankruptcy feels like!"
The heroine, who ran off while pregnant, returns to her domineering CEO, and the second male lead, the child's hapless stand-in dad, is used and tossed aside by mother and child, then left bankrupt.
"I'll pay you back for the cultivation resources you gave me, but I really don't love you. Please break off our engagement and let me go."
"I hate rich second-generation heirs like you who force people into relationships. Without your family backing you, you're nothing!"
The aloof fiancée, as lofty as a moonlit celestial maiden, nestles in the stallion protagonist's arms and looks down with contempt at the second male lead, her former fiancé, accusing him of forcing himself on her.
Xiao Ze angrily tosses the script aside. "What the hell? Who wrote this brain-dead script? I'm done!"
So childhood sweethearts can't beat surprise arrivals, huh? That shy, top-of-the-class girl is sweet too. Why hang around this lovesick childhood friend?
What does it have to do with me if the heroine runs off while pregnant? And now the neighbors are here to watch... Want me to call the police for you?
That lofty celestial maiden must have forgotten how pathetic she was when she first joined the sect. I'm not giving you healing medicine or cultivation resources this time. Why not enjoy being a genius with a rich family backing you?
