The Price of the Devoted Second Male Lead's Rise to Power

After the heroine-chasing crematorium, I didn’t choose the male lead, who had finally come to his senses. Instead, I got together with the devoted second male lead. But before our wedding, he, who had always loved me, suddenly grew distant. Then I heard him confiding in a friend: “I used to see her being bullied by her husband, and I couldn’t help feeling sorry for her.”

“But… to actually marry her and take in someone else’s cast-off wife? I can’t help feeling uncomfortable about it.” Later, I called off the engagement. But he came all the way to find me, dragging his broken body across thousands of miles, just to ask if I could forgive him.
