I Refuse to be a Supporting Character

As the male protagonist of the novel, the mans appearance and stature were top notch. The story had many descriptions for Jing Hao; a man with sharp features, was a distant and cold as an iceberg, and a beautiful male godand so on. These were all words that identified him.

At a glance, Gu Jin could see why the female protagonist ended up in his hands instead of Shao Chongs.

Because he was an ambitious man without any disguise!

She recalled how in the novels plot, the male protagonist Jing Hao was a descendant of a famous noble family. During the founding of the Peoples Republic of China, Jing Haos

Grandfather had sent funds to the army many times which gave a good impression of many important figures. That was why in these recent decades, the Jing familys business has been smooth sailing; no one deliberately tried to make things difficult for them. Thus, the Jing familys company is famous throughout the country.

Jing Hao, at 27 years old, already inherited the family business and managed it well.

Compared to the innumerable beer bellied businessmen, Jing Hao boasted a first-figure and a youthful appearance.

However, he was still unsatisfied with the achievements he had made thus far, so he vowed in this lifetime to bring the Jing company to new heights and to enter its most prosperous period.

For most of his life, he was an expressionless man who worked tirelessly like a machine. He occasionally sought women to alleviate his physiological needs, but his heart was never moved. Not until he met Cheng Xin, his little sun. Only in her company did he reveal his true self and expose his fiery heart beneath his mask of indifference.

Gu Jin couldnt understand this kind of feeling, but she did recall a phrase that was used often in the novel: People who live within a complex and icy world are always looking forward to a simple warmth.

The same was true for Cheng Xin.

Many young ladies in the capital eyed Jing Hao as an object of marriage. With his fame, there were no shortage of women around him. In this high class social circle, how many men were actually loyal and reliable?

It was normal for couples to play the game of love. As long as they didnt make too much trouble, no one will take the initiative to expose their true colors.

And women werent fools either.

Since they werent destined to harvest a perfect marriage, it was better to find a man who had both power and good looks!

Anyways, so long as they held money, retained the status of a wife and secured their childrens inheritance, who cares about a mans third leg?

Moreover, in the past six months the Imperial Capitals news reports no longer circulated any rumors about Jing Hao being entangled with any actresses. So the eager ladies thought optimistically: maybe hes had enough time to change his bad habits?

What they didnt know was that the monkey had indeed turned turned his back on evil and had already entered another womans pockets, but their relationship had not yet been made public.

Meanwhile, what Shao Chong lacked was Jing Haos ambition and determination. But what he had even less of was the male protagonists calmness and indifference

When he courted Cheng Xin, he showed her a truly sincere heart. But who knows if its the case of a scent from a distance or a scent closeby**. If something is too easy to get, it wont be cherished and will easily be abandoned. [note] Idiom (a scent from afar) means that being far away makes the person appear more beautiful whereas (scent close by) means that being close to someone will magnify that persons flaws. [/note]

Cheng Xin had high standards. Since childhood, she was like the stars that surrounded the moon. Since she wanted the best, it was no wonder that she would choose Jing Hao.

Gu Jin reminded herself that in any case, someone like Jing Hao cant be pure or guiltless.
