I’m Su Wan, president of the Su Group. I paid a monthly salary of five million to hire a game streamer as my contract boyfriend.
His features look so much like those of Jiang Chen, the man I loved but could never have. I made him dye his hair the same color, wear the same suit, and imitate the same way of speaking. He was always lazy and obedient, my perfect counterfeit.
Everyone laughed at him for living off a woman as a stand-in, and even I thought he stayed by my side for nothing but that astronomical salary.
Until, beneath the spotlights, a woman in a couture gown glided over. Amid the stunned silence, she rose on her toes and kissed his cheek, whispering, “Lu Shen, I’m back.”
The champagne glass in my hand shattered, and at last I saw through this absurd deception.
It turned out that from beginning to end, I was the one being treated as a stand-in.
He had chosen me for my resemblance to his one true love, and I was merely a counterfeit who looked about forty percent like her.
I thought I was the one controlling the game, never realizing that my company’s lifeline, its trade secrets, and my entire glittering world had long been hanging from his fingertips.
He played the obedient shadow for three years. I spent three years falling for someone I shouldn’t have.
Now his one true love has returned, and the stand-in charade is over.
Lu Shen looked at my ashen face, tapping his fingers idly on the table. Not a trace of obedience remained in his eyes.
“President Su, it’s time I set the rules of this game.”
