I had been Cecilia Austin's fallback option for seven years.
The day before our wedding, she wore the wedding dress I designed and went to spend the night with the male protagonist.
She said, "Alex, I'm going to say goodbye to him and my youth. I'll be right back!"
She didn't know that the system marked my task as failed as soon as she said that.
And I would never wait for her to come back again.

Tomorrow would be the wedding of me and Cecilia Austin.
Before our engagement, Jasper Miller, the male protagonist, poured the red wine on her face with a smile, mocking her for being a disgusting, shameless woman in public.
Then, she finally turned to me with her eyes red.
"Alex, let's get married! I won't chase after him anymore. I want to marry you!"
I had pursued her for seven years, and she finally turned back and chose me!
I agreed immediately and beat Jasper to the ground to avenge her. As a result, I took several punches and even lost my cooperation with the Miller family. However, she only blamed me for embarrassing her by getting into a fight.
I felt a bit upset. But perhaps she would love me after we got married.
I organized the wedding at the fastest speed.
My identity was the second male protagonist, and also the youngest son of the local business tycoon, the Cohen family.
The whole city knew that Cecilia had been simping over Jasper. She was so into Jasper. Many people thought she was losing her mind.
But there was one thing she would never know.
To marry her, I returned all the family shares I held to my father without hesitation.
My father looked down on me for giving up so many things for a woman.
My older brother took my shares and praised me as the most passionate lover in the world with a fake smile.
I knelt in the study all night until my knees went numb. In the end, I lost consciousness but didn't feel sad.
I had been waiting for so long, and I finally got to marry her.
And now, on the eve of the wedding, I suddenly received a phone call from her.
"Alex, I'm going to the nearby city to meet Jasper. I want to see him one last time!"
Jasper was the male protagonist. She was humiliated by him all the time but still loved him.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the long-lost warning from the system.
"Warning! Warning! The task will fail if your target abandons you 1,000 times. Now you have been abandoned 999 times!"
I had been abandoned so many times without even realizing it.
But I was unwilling to give up!
"Cecilia! Can't you not go? Please don't go! Please..."
"Alex, I just want to say goodbye to him and my youth. I'll be right back!"
The voice coming from the other end of the phone remained bright, just like her love, forever enduring.
Unfortunately, it was never for me.
"Don't go, Cecilia!"
Beep. Beep.
She hung up the phone, and I heard my ending.
"Number 99, mission failed!"
I knelt on the ground, experiencing immense pain in my head.
"Mission failed! Mission failed!"
The pain was so intense that it made my mind blurred. My heart ...
