I Quit Before He Broke

Synopsis

After ten years of trying to win the heart of Brooke, the story's second male lead, he finally agreed to marry me. On our wedding day, everything looked perfect at first. Then, out of nowhere, a whole wall of flowers collapsed. People screamed. In that split second, when things turned dangerous, he let go of my hand. He didn't even hesitate. He rushed straight to Nadia, the female lead, and covered her with his body to shield her. Something hard hit his forehead, and blood started running down his face. But he didn't care. He just held Nadia tight, as if nothing else in the world mattered. I stood there, frozen. I reached up and touched my own eyebrow, feeling the warm blood sliding down my skin. That was when it finally sank in. No matter how long I tried, no matter what I did, his heart had always belonged to Nadia. The System spoke beside me, its voice soft, almost pitying. "Host, do you want to end the mission?" My heart felt like it had burned down to cold ashes. I gave a small nod. "Yes. Even if he ends up paralyzed because of Nadia, even if he dies in pain, I won't help him anymore."
