Chapter 1

Scarlett Hayes dumped me again for Brandon Miller.

This time, it was at our wedding.

Watching her back disappear, a cold, digital voice echoed in my mind:

“This is the 100th time the Female Lead has abandoned you for the Supporting Male. Do you wish to relinquish your role as her Male Lead?”

“Yes.”

“You can choose a new Male Lead for the Female Lead.”

“Brandon Miller.”

Since these childhood sweethearts couldn’t let go of each other, I decided to lock them together forever.

“Because you were bound to Scarlett Hayes as her Male Lead by the System, you would always forgive her, no matter what she did.

“Now, you are free,” the digital voice continued.

“Can she bind me again?” I asked.

“No, she has no right to change the Male Lead again.”

...

When the conversation ended, I felt a profound sense of clarity, like a heavy fog had finally lifted from my mind.

Looking at the chaotic scene of family and guests below the stage, I steadied myself, took the microphone from the emcee, and announced:

“I deeply regret that this wedding cannot proceed. I apologize for any disruption or disappointment this may cause.”

The crowd quieted down.

“Ms. Hayes just announced a postponement, but I don’t agree.

“From today forward, our engagement is off. We go our separate ways, with no ties between us.”

The grand ballroom erupted in another uproar, following the bride’s unexpected exit.

I raised my voice,

“Additionally, all wedding gifts will be returned twofold. Thank you again for coming.”

With that, I bowed and walked off the stage, my steps feeling incredibly light.
