The Sub Male Lead is Burning with Jealousy

“My feelings will never change, Angelica. I’ll bless both of you, so you can find happiness forever.”

A confession from a secondary male lead that wasn’t in the original novel. Rahil, who became emperor, vowed eternal love to the original female lead just before she went to the altar.

Now as the emperor, he needed to have an empress. But he wanted someone who wouldn’t torment his beloved Angelica. The perfect person for that role was Anais Ruol.

A woman who, despite her vow of eternity, dared to look down on the emperor with contempt. Indifferent to his love and clever enough not to hurt Angelica. A woman cold to love, cynical about it.

“There’s no one else but you. Someone who can stay by my side without wavering, who can play the role of a wise empress…”

“Let’s draft a contract. But before that… allow me just one slap.”

For Angelica, for the nation, his feelings towards Anais leaned more towards denial. Yet, strangely, every time he was with her, Rahil felt an unfamiliar and unbelievable flutter in his heart.

“You can’t… can’t kiss me!”

“Why?”

“Because my first kiss will be with another man!”

On their wedding night, Rahil was both shocked and betrayed by Anais’s explosive statement. But at the same time, he became even more determined.

“I’ll make sure you, Anais, will be the first to kiss me.”
