After I Turned to the Male Second Lead

[Quick-witted, money-minded Jin Fangfang x Chosen-by-Fate Xie Yaozu]

Bound by an engagement since childhood, Jin Fangfang travels all the way from the north to build a relationship with the fiancé she has spent years dreaming about.

"Miss Jin, she had no choice but to become a servant. She was born without a choice and needs people's understanding even more. Besides, it's only a gauze dress."

"Miss Jin, my cousin is gentle and delicate. She didn't push you into the water on purpose."

"Fangfang, we'll be family sooner or later. My cousin's family is in trouble right now, so it's only right for you to help her out."

"Fangfang..."

Just listen to the nonsense coming out of his mouth.

Jin Fangfang finally comes to her senses and decides to break off the engagement. There's something wrong with her fiancé's head.

As it happens, she meets the Xie family's rascal, who has traveled a great distance to pursue her.

By comparison, the Xie rascal suddenly looks a lot more appealing.

Why not give him a chance?

Her former fiancé keeps pestering her. "Fangfang, how could you ruin yourself just to spite me?"

The Xie rascal knocks out one of his front teeth.

His words come out with a whistle. "Fangfang..."

The Xie rascal knocks out his other front tooth, too.

Song Yangwen has a dream. In it, he takes first place in the imperial examinations and rises through the ranks after marrying Jin Fangfang.

His cousin is called Madam Song wherever she goes, and the scholars who once looked down on him line up outside his residence every day to curry favor.

Oh, and he lives in Xie Yaozu's mansion.

All of this should have been his!
