He was unexpectedly saved by this system and transmigrated, only to find himself in the body of the second male lead, paving the way for others.
If Yi Mu were to sacrifice himself to please others, he would be a complete fool.
So you're the second male lead, huh? So devoted and unwavering, huh? Just wait until I slap you in the face and show you what a true second male lead is all about!
Yi Mu did not heed the system's advice.
Not long after the wedding, the female lead Bai Lian and the male lead Xi Junyan experienced a crisis of trust. The reason was that the female supporting character took a picture of Bai Lian having a meal with the third male lead and then wiping the corner of his mouth.
The image is authentic, with no signs of being digitally manipulated.
After Bai Lian married Xi Junyan, she showed absolutely no awareness of being a married woman.
There's nothing wrong with going out to dinner with a man, but such intimate behavior would be unbearable for most husbands, let alone someone as possessive as Nishi Kimihiko.
According to the script, Bai Lian had a big fight with Xi Junyan and was severely humiliated by the second female lead. Feeling wronged, she secretly ran away to seek refuge with Yi Mu.
By this time, Yi Mu had become accustomed to the original owner's identity and character setting: a famous screenwriter, gentle and refined, who always granted the female lead's requests.
He had just finished filming a romance drama for which he was the screenwriter when he received a call from Bai Lian and rushed back from the set.
It rained heavily that day.
Yi Mu walked out of the elevator carrying his suitcase and saw a woman squatting in front of his door, soaked to the bone and shivering.
Bai Lian wasn't a beauty in the conventional sense, but she had a delicate and refined appearance. Her big eyes looked mischievous when she looked at people, and she naturally had a smile on her lips. Even when she was angry, she was playful.
It was this uniqueness that caught the eye of the aloof CEO Xi Junyan, who then insisted on marrying Bai Lian despite their vastly different social statuses.
However, the dating period is often blind; after marriage, feelings are no longer just between two people.
Marrying into a wealthy family is not as idyllic as it seems; the differences in aesthetics and values between the two, who come from different social classes, gradually become apparent.
Conflict is inevitable; it's only a matter of time.
It's truly unexpected that things would escalate to this point after only a month of marriage.
He walked up to Bai Lian and stood there, tall and elegant. Before Bai Lian could look up, his expressionless face was replaced with tenderness and heartache.
"Xiao Lian, didn't I leave you the key? Go inside and wait..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Lian stood up and threw herself into his arms, crying pitifully, "Waaah, Yi Mu, I want a divorce from Xi Junyan! He'd rather believe someone else than what I say."
Yi Mu's hand hovered loosely over her back as he softly comforted her, "Don't cry, let's go inside and talk."
The key opened the door, and Yi Mu let Bai Lian sit on the sofa.
Bai Lian, her face streaked with tears, sobbed as she complained to him about how outrageous Xi Junyan had been, refusing to listen to her explanations and yelling at her to get out.
Yi Mu frowned; something seemed amiss with how things were developing.
According to the plot, Bai Lian should feel disheartened, and Xi Junyan doesn't believe he is innocent, so he escapes the villa's security guards overnight to find Yi Mu.
Yi Mu took Bai Lian in for the night. Not long after, Xi Junyan arrived with bodyguards and took away Bai Lian, who was crying and refusing to go back. Then, provoked by Yi Mu, an angry Xi Junyan punched him twice.
Yi Mu didn't know why the plot had already started to go awry before he even began to act.
Fortunately, this unexpected turn of events did not disrupt the plot.
He prepared hot water and gave Bai Lian a shirt and trousers that he had never worn before.
Sitting in the living room, Yi Mu looked at his watch, calculating the time it would take for Xi Junyan to arrive.
