I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating

Summary of the I Married the Second Male Lead After Reincarnating

Flash back: school days, super happy and protected by her childhood sweetheart. Then bam! Love at first sight with her husband-to-be; they marry, settle into this amazing little bubble for three years solid.

Life seems perfect? Yeah, in the past life it felt like that too. But then... an accident. A real doozy. She wakes up in the ER, clinging to life by a thread. That’s when she starts piecing things together – and her world kinda falls apart right there with her. Turns out everything was a carefully crafted lie? Her marriage wasn't love at first sight for him either; it was just... part of some elaborate game or bet between them?

She finds out later, in the quietest moments before she almost dies, that Chi Ming is genuinely good people – always has been, quietly watching over her. But the husband? He's lost his mind with this secret lover thing.

Fast forward to rebirth: Qingyue puts on a brave face, pretending *she* discovered the bet too. Her heart’s already broken in previous lives; divorce feels like the only logical move now. And Chi Ming... well, everything just kinda clicks into place naturally for them.

But here's the twist: her ex-husband can't let go of his own delusions or admit what he did was messed up. He chased after this fantasy bride while Qingyue was fighting for her life *in another time*. In their last life together? He spent forever mourning finding out how selfish it all was.

Now, watching from the sidelines is Shen Qingyue again – married to Chi Ming, living proof of genuine connection while haunted by the ghost of a fake love. And he’s stuck just looking back, endlessly wishing for what could never be righted, even after she almost died once before. It's... complicated and kinda sad.
