The Big Shot’s Darling Substitute Is Done Playing Along

What’s it like to accidentally become the cherished wife of Lord Fu, the most powerful man in the empire? Ling Qingchen: Thanks for asking. It’s so satisfying I could split right down the middle. Netizen: Wow, Lord Fu sure is impressive! When are you two planning to get married and have kids? Ling Qingchen: …I’m a man. “…” He had thought their relationship was nothing more than a brief fling, but it turned out the other man wanted something long-term. Now Ling Qingchen has three major problems in life: 1. How can he convince Fu Yanzhi that he doesn’t love him, only his money and his body? 2. How can he make enough money to end this arrangement? 3. How can he make even more money, so Fu Yanzhi realizes that he’s actually a very popular award-winning actor and doesn’t need to secretly spend money on him? …Later, Ling Qingchen discovers that this is nothing but a love game hidden in the dark, and he’s actually… a substitute! Ling Qingchen: “…” Oh, go fuck yourself. :) A one-on-one romance from start to finish. A fake substitute plot. A seemingly carefree, materialistic supporting actor who’s actually incredibly sensitive, VS a domineering CEO who seems cold and aloof but eventually becomes a gentle, devoted puppy. How did their sugar-daddy arrangement turn into a long, agonizing quest to win his wife back?
