Three Years as a Stand-In Before I Learned the Moonlight Was My Secret Identity

Gu Huaian loved Shen Ruoshuang for ten years and stayed by her side for three.

Everyone knew he was the kept canary of Shen Ruoshuang, the female CEO of the Shen family, and the perfect substitute for her late first love.

He copied that man’s clothes and learned his likes, all for a fleeting moment of her tenderness.

Until the “younger sister” of her first love returned to the country bearing a keepsake. Shen Ruoshuang handed him a divorce agreement and a check, her voice icy: “He’s back. You can leave now.”

Gu Huaian signed his name and left with nothing, without looking back. He was tired. He had had enough.

He took off his suit, changed into work clothes, and returned to his place in the world as the renowned restoration expert Huaian, seeking peace among ancient artifacts.

But Shen Ruoshuang went mad.

She discovered that after Gu Huaian left, her home no longer held the incense she loved most, because he had blended it by hand.

She discovered that the piano pieces she often played had been composed for her by Gu Huaian.

And she discovered that the so-called keepsake of her “first love” was actually an unfinished piece Gu Huaian had carved himself years ago, then lost! The supposed first love was nothing but an impostor who had stolen his identity and past!

The boy she had loved for ten years, the hero who had saved her from the fire, had always been Gu Huaian and no one else!

On a rainy night, Shen Ruoshuang, drenched and distraught, stood outside his studio. Looking at him, radiant inside, she wept in anguish.

“Huaian, I was wrong. Will you come back?”

Gu Huaian wiped the bronze artifact in his hands without even looking up. His voice was calm. “Ms. Shen, we’re divorced.”
