A Substitute Left in Ruins, a New Love Returns

I was Huo Chenyu's stand-in for five years, always obediently imitating the woman he held dear. Everyone said I couldn't compare to even a single strand of her hair. I was happy to play along, believing my tenderness could melt the ice in his heart. Then one day, the woman he truly loved returned to the country. I heard him say with my own ears, "Her? She's just a shadow. I'll toss her aside when I'm done playing with her." In that moment, it felt as though the heart of the child in my womb had stopped beating, too. I didn't cry or make a scene. I calmly scheduled an appointment for surgery, erased every trace of him, and disappeared from his life. Later, Huo Chenyu searched for me like a madman, kneeling in the rain and begging me to come back. With my new love's arm linked through mine, I smiled at him and said, "Mr. Huo, whose stand-in are you now?"
