Gu Jingchen and I were betrothed as children and grew up together like childhood sweethearts. Yet he publicly called off our wedding in front of everyone. That was when I learned that we were living inside a novel. He was the male lead, and I was the supporting female character whose engagement he had broken. Faced with the mess before me, I reached out to the man beside me. “If Gu Jingchen won't marry me, what about you?” Later, Gu Jingchen broke free of the plot and came back to ask for my forgiveness. But my husband blocked him with one hand. “Young Master Gu, you were the one who ran away from the wedding. She's my wife now. Surely you don't plan on stealing your little brother's wife?”
