[Dual heroines + steamy + marriage + eight-year age gap + happy ending + mutual healing]
(The one-sided love for the unattainable crush was never reciprocated.)
A gentle, restrained older woman who moves comfortably between black and white × a clever, scheming young genius who pretends to be obedient
Antique dealer Qin Shihan has always carried an unattainable crush in her heart.
By a twist of fate, Jiang Li, a young woman who looks strikingly like her crush, stumbles into her life in a sorry state.
Qin Shihan gives Jiang Li the best of everything, but remains clear-eyed about treating her as an emotional substitute, a carefully crafted replacement.
But Jiang Li is no docile canary.
The young woman, fresh into adulthood, falls in love with Qin Shihan at first sight, openly and passionately.
When Qin Shihan realizes that Jiang Li’s attachment has crossed a line, she chooses the most “mature” solution: she sends Jiang Li far away to study abroad.
She thinks time and distance will make everything fade. Little does she know, the fledgling she set free with her own hands was no baby bird, but a leopard lying in wait.
Years later, Jiang Li returns, an acclaimed academic prodigy at the height of her field, her brilliance on full display.
She reappears with a possessiveness and ambition that leave no room for doubt, yet still acts harmless in front of Qin Shihan.
Being a substitute is Jiang Li’s shortcut. What she wants is for the woman to see no one but her in the end.
Coming from another, this is a potential cp from the author's first book. My favorite character in that book is Qin Shihan, a super gentle and intellectual sister. Every time she appears, she feels sour that she cannot love her. Unexpectedly, Dada actually opened a new book for her. The plot is very interesting, the characters are full-bodied, it is a substitute literature, the setting of a gentle sister + a dog that is obsessed with death. The plot and rhythm of this book are also richer, and it can be seen that the book is becoming more and more skillful. It is recommended to read the previous book as well, as it can be read as a prequel to this one to gain a better understanding of the plot. Still asking for updates!!! [Please update]
