[Substitute awakens + regretful pursuit + romantic rivalry + one-on-one ending]
Nie Tingxu spent three years as the perfect substitute, wearing a different mask every day to play along with powerful men.
As a substitute for a lovesick junior's twin who died young, he would grip her throat and say, “My sister's beauty mark should be on the left.”
As a substitute for a cold, aloof movie star's first love and white moonlight, he made her practice mouthing “Brother Ayun” in front of a mirror three hundred times a day.
As a substitute for a playboy's arranged-marriage partner, he made her pretend to be a rich heiress at their engagement banquet and say, “My fiancé is so annoying.”
Then the day their true white moonlights all returned from abroad arrived. Nie Tingxu, dressed in a custom gown, was cornered under the spotlights at a birthday banquet.
The movie star's first love sneered: “Copycat, how much do you think you look like me?”
The junior's older sister looked down her nose at her. “A fake like you thinks you can wear my family's ancestral jade bracelet?”
In front of everyone, I tore up the substitute contracts and flung my colored contacts at the camera. “Congratulations, everyone. Your game of playing lovesick fools with a substitute has failed to renew.”

“First, I'll dig out the beauty marks in their hearts, then shatter their white moonlights, and finally...” She raised an eyebrow with a dangerous smile. “I'll make those lunatics turn their cinnabar moles into mosquito blood with their own hands.”
