Who Says a Sidekick Can't Be the Male Lead? Plot:

Lin Shen, the adopted son of the Lu family, has been a "shadow sidekick" for 20 years—blocking terrible suitors for Lu Wanwan, taking the blame for her, and hiding his crush behind her spotlight. But Wanwan only has eyes for "male lead types": Gu Huai, a wealthy heir just back from abroad, who carries his own spotlight and steals all her attention the moment he appears. Until Lin Shen finds an old paternity test—he's the Lu family's biological son who was switched at birth! Fed up, he decides to fight back: If everyone thinks a sidekick can't be the male lead, then I'll take back my "male lead throne"—to reclaim the inheritance, and more importantly, to make Wanwan see that the "sidekick" who's always stood behind her is the one who should be by her side. But when he deliberately acts cold and distant, Wanwan blocks his door with red eyes: "Did you... never care about me?" It turns out she'd long gotten used to the "sidekick's" presence—she never loved the "male lead type" at all. What she loved was Lin Shen, who always put her first...

The Return of the Convict

Eight years ago, Lin Shen took the blame for his wife Su Wan's business fraud and went to prison. On the day he finally finished his sentence, he clutched the silver ring he'd saved for eight years and rushed home—this was the "release surprise" he'd planned since he went in. But just as he reached the unit building, he saw Su Wan leaning in a stranger's arms, her fingers gently hooked around the man's tie, smiling as sweetly as she used to smile at him. Hiding in the stairwell, Lin Shen heard Su Wan say, "The judge said he might get life in prison; I couldn't spend my life waiting for a 'living dead'." Broken-hearted, Lin Shen faked a car accident to "die". But when he secretly returned to the neighborhood under a new identity, he found their wedding photo still on Su Wan's bedside table, and the handwritten notes he'd sent from prison every year—locked in her drawer, unopened. It turned out that behind her "betrayal" was a pain and forbearance he never knew about.
