He thought I was obsessed, never realizing I was consciously staging a love affair for the ages.
[Mutual stand-ins | A mirror game between master impersonators]
To escape the pursuit of countless obsessive admirers, wealthy heiress Shen Qingzi carefully disguised herself as an ordinary, awkward woman and approached the aloof CEO. She searched in him for a figure lost in her memories, willingly playing the role of a substitute.
Gu Yan kept her by his side for the same reason: she looked so much like the person he could never have.
Two impostors living in other people’s shadows got what they wanted from their fake relationship. He taught her to play “perfect,” while she helped him indulge in his memories. Then, in certain moments, they saw cracks in each other’s eyes, and the reflections there no longer seemed to belong to someone else.
When the mirror begins to show the truth, how will this game that started with lies end?
When Gu Yan knelt in the rain, eyes red, begging her to come back, Shen Qingzi held up her umbrella and asked softly, “Mr. Gu, are you my stand-in now, or your brother’s?”
The mirror shattered, and only then did it show the real person.

This is a very good story about mutual substitution and redemption. The author's writing is delicate, the emotional scenes are very intense, and the plot is very engaging. I recommend everyone to check it out!
It's really well written. The two are locked in a fierce battle, sensing each other in absolute clarity. It's a great work of stand-in literature. I just don't know who will be the winner. I look forward to the author's next update.
