The capital’s most distinguished young heir X the cool, elegant painter from Jiangnan.
[Regretful Pursuit + White Moonlight + Single-Couple Romance + Substitute + Marriage Before Love]
Meng Wan had been left behind in a small town for more than a decade. When she finally returned to the Meng family, a marriage contract led her to marry Lu Linchuan, the heir of one of the capital’s most powerful families.
Everyone said he was noble and aloof, a bona fide madman with his white moonlight always in his heart, and that she was nothing more than a substitute.
But Meng Wan didn’t care.
After the wedding, she endured everyone’s ridicule. Her husband was cold, and she was even forced to raise his white moonlight’s child, becoming a stepmother to someone else’s kid.
Everyone said Meng Wan was hopelessly in love with Lu Linchuan. Even Song Hewei agreed. “Damn, Brother Chuan, you have no idea! When I went to your house, I saw that all the paintings in your wife’s studio were portraits of you.”
He gave a soft chuckle. “You have no idea how much she loves you!”
Lu Linchuan knew it too. The love in her eyes could not be faked.
Later, Lu Linchuan entered that mysterious studio and picked up the portraits scattered across the floor.
A smiling young man, his dark hair flowing, held a shy young woman in his arms as she rested her head on his shoulder.
Her features looked remarkably like his, and she had a dark brown beauty mark beneath her eye.
Lu Linchuan understood: this wasn’t him.
Furious, he set the studio ablaze.
Meng Wan held the scorched portrait and wept inconsolably. “Leave.”
But once Meng Wan really left, he searched everywhere for her like a madman. The noble, aloof young Master Lu grabbed her wrist, eyes red as he murmured soothingly, “You’re not allowed to leave me.”
The author is great, is the male protagonist clean? I want the male protagonist to see the excitement of being a substitute, haha
