Consequently, I became a well-known follower of Christian, always available to him at any hour and obedient to his every command.
Despite my dedication, Christian remained distant. Just as I resigned myself to my role as a mere background character and that only the female lead Elsie could touch his heartstrings, the system altered my mission again.
"The main storyline mission has been changed, please check it. To pair the second male lead with the female lead. If the mission is completed, you can return to the real world. Failure results in permanent entrapment in this fictional world. Please take this mission seriously."
Reading the new task, I realized the system recognized that winning over the male lead was unfeasible, opting instead for a simpler objective.
The second male lead, Raphael Sanders, was the heroine's unspoken love, a character whose tragic backstory resonates with fans.
His father was a gambling addict, and his mother abandoned him at five because she couldn't stand his father.
He silently supported the heroine while watching her fall for the hero.
