After Cheng Li had finally graduated from the role of the devoted male supporting character, he spent another three years cautiously watching to make sure his big brother and sister-in-law were still happy together. Only when he was certain that, as their younger brother, he would no longer be dragged into their plot did he finally decide to return to Z Province and develop his career there.
Who could have guessed that fate would have other plans? The moment his plane landed, he was hit with a "plot kill."
The System told him that, very fortunately (or unfortunately), he had leveled up from a supporting male character to the male lead.
Apparently, a big shot who isn't disabled from the start isn't a proper big shot.
So naturally, he got into a car accident right after leaving the airport, and injured his leg badly enough to limp afterward.
Looking at his leg, which had been encased in a huge cast despite only having a minor fracture,
well, given the size of the cast, he really would have to limp for a while.
Then the old man of the family immediately told him that, to keep him from ending up alone because of his disability, he had arranged an old marriage pact, and the other party had agreed.
"Wait, Grandpa, these days, does getting a cast count as being disabled?" Cheng Li ranted internally.
But his past experience with the plot had taught him that it was best not to resist at key moments. The consequences were impossible to predict.
And before he had even met his fiance, a friend came to tell him that his fiance was his grandnephew's ex-boyfriend?
The sort of ex who had loved deeply, only to get dumped miserably.
The System hurriedly jumped in to announce that the plot was beginning.
Fine, fine. First I was the younger brother, now I'm the uncle. So this is how you want to play it?
You've really figured out the uncle-and-nephew romance trope, Cheng Li gritted his teeth!
Ding dong.
A familiar text message notification sounded. The old man had written that the legendary fiance would come look after him, a cripple, and they could take the chance to grow closer.
Sure enough, that very night, someone showed up with their luggage and knocked on his door.
"Gu Dongcang?" Cheng Li stared at the newcomer, a fresh recruit his company had signed not long ago, astonished.
"Boss, I'm the fiance you were betrothed to as a child. Give me a chance." The newcomer leaned against the doorframe. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and a face handsome enough to rival a god: his smile was simply impossible to resist.
