[Stand-in literature, selfish and cold queen x pure paranoia, humble loyal dog, younger male protagonist x mature, steady, cynical, younger male lead in White Moonlight]
She was the cold altar he looked up to throughout his life, and he was the humble firewood at her feet that he was willing to burn.
In Jiang Jin's world, love is the enemy of efficiency and sincerity is a costly burden.
She only loves herself, sober and cold. Until the man who looked exactly like the phantom in her heart - Lu Yan, crashed into her life like a shadow that couldn't be shaken off, with the determination to destroy herself.
He sacrificed his dignity and crawled as low as dust, just asking for the position of a substitute.
She was tired of giving charity and regarded it as nothing more than a piece of entertainment.
A stand-in agreement that ends with "White Moonlight" returning home is a contract of betrayal signed by Lu Yan himself, and it is also a chess game that Jiang Jin casually laid out.
When the illusion is shattered, when the loyal dog bites back, and when bystanders sink, in this dangerous game that starts from humble beginnings, sinks into madness, and ends in darkness, who is the hunter? Who is the prey? Who can truly escape unscathed?
[Mining warning: This is a story about "one is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure". This article is quite dark and the characters have a distorted view of their emotions. The character's views do not represent the author's views. The female protagonist is energetic, the character in this work has a low sense of morality, and the male protagonist is masochistic, has a poor mental state, and has serious psychological problems. This is a sadistic male protagonist with multiple endings to choose from. Overall, it's a good read, so those who mind it should proceed with caution.
