He Yuchuan spent three years training Shen Qingtang like a dog, turning her into the perfect stand-in.
She mimicked another woman’s eating, walking, speaking, dressing, and personality, doing everything she could to please He Yuchuan.
Her reward came three years later, when He Yuchuan’s beloved, who had supposedly died, returned.
“You’ve enjoyed three years of the life that should have been hers. You owe her,” He Yuchuan told Shen Qingtang coldly.
Shen Qingtang knew perfectly well that she had only basked in another woman’s reflected glory, but she owed no one anything.
Before long, she disappeared from He Yuchuan’s life without a trace.
Everyone said He Yuchuan had abandoned her, and that she deserved to be dumped for usurping another woman’s place.
But it wasn’t long before things took a strange turn.
He Yuchuan searched everywhere for Shen Qingtang like a madman, even abandoning the beloved who had returned from the dead.
“Qingtang, please come back to me.” At last, he found her.
Shen Qingtang shook her head coolly, standing beside another man. “He Yuchuan, let me go.”
Only then did He Yuchuan understand that everything he had done had come back around and pierced him like a boomerang.
It's a very nice little book that I really like to read.
