When two second leads meet?
"Ah, I'm screwed." I just skimmed through a novel before falling asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I was inside a romance fantasy. My role is simple. Help the original female lead and male lead fall in love. I thought I'd just play the second female lead, hook the main couple up, and go home... but both leads are total amateurs at romance. Damn it. Change of plans: form an alliance with the second male lead to make the main couple happen. ...But this second lead guy... why is his face turning red? --- **Cast List** Original Female Lead: Vivian Original Male Lead: Cedric Original Second Male Lead: Henry Original Second Female Lead: Irene (Guest)

The chandeliers of the Royal Grand Ballroom glowed brilliantly, holding hundreds of candles. While nobles gathered in small groups, sipping wine and letting the flowers of social life bloom, the protagonists of the day entered.
Vivian, wearing a pale pink dress, clutched Irene's arm tightly and whispered. Irene, do you see Sir Cedric over there? He looks so handsome today...
Vivian's gaze was fixed on the dark-haired man standing across the ballroom. Cedric.
And next to him stood a man looking this way with a sly smile.
He walked over slowly, a wine glass hooked between his fingers. His lips were naturally curved upward into a smirk.
