A special forces princess heroine vs. a hero who has never known enough love
Su Qing has only two things on her mind: finding “Shadow” and finding her way home. And her fiancé, Xiao Jue? He's just someone she happens to be involved with while investigating the case. His heart belongs to his white moonlight, Shen Qingci, and Su Qing is perfectly happy to keep their lives separate.
At first, Xiao Jue really did treat her as a stand-in. He couldn't even hide the scrutiny in his eyes. But at some point, his gaze changed. He began secretly paving the way as she pursued leads, and rushing to her side like a madman whenever she was in danger.
Until Su Qing heard him tell his guard, “That face of hers is still useful.”
Oh. So she was still just a stand-in.
She didn't argue or make a scene. She simply turned around and planned a fake death to escape.
The hero went gray overnight.
Meanwhile, on a boat in Jiangnan, Su Qing, dressed as a man, studied a new clue about “Shadow,” her gaze sharp.
Xiao Jue? Being a stand-in? That was all in her past life.
