[Power Couple at War + White Moonlight Replacement Romance + Shocking Twists + No Reconciliation After the Breakup + Love Quadrangle: Pei Zhen, Hu Xiu, Meng Yancheng, and Meng Jiaojiao]
It took Pei Zhen three years to finally understand that, in his wife Hu Xiu’s heart, he was only a stand-in for her white moonlight.
On the day they divorced, he took off his glasses and left with nothing, becoming the laughingstock of the whole city.
Even Meng Yancheng, the real deal, deigned to sneer at him: “Mr. Pei, when she looks at you every day, all she thinks about is me. If you had even a shred of backbone, you’d step aside while you still can.”
Everyone thought Pei Zhen would rot away in the ruins of his old dreams.
Until Meng Jiaojiao, the decisive second young lady of the Guokun Group, pinned the heartbroken man against a car door, her voice trembling. “Do you really have to have her?”
Pei Zhen looked up and saw Hu Xiu and Meng Yancheng’s expressions change in the distance.
He gently wiped away the tear at Meng Jiaojiao’s eye and smiled as if nothing could trouble him. “I used to.”
“Now, would Second Miss Meng be willing to take in a blind man who’s finally seen the light?”
Later, the business world was rocked.
The once-humble stand-in seized control of Guokun Group with an iron fist, and the dazzling, uninhibited Second Miss Meng became his rightful Mrs. Pei.
On their wedding night, he kissed the beauty mark beneath his beloved’s eye and whispered the final secret:
“Jiaojiao, you guessed wrong.”
“There was never any stand-in. I was the one who plotted and schemed to steal from him the moonlight that should have belonged to me.”
“Those approaches you once dismissed as mere charity were the glimmer of hope I spent half my life scheming to earn.”
Using love as bait, I invite you into the trap. In this play, who is the pawn, and who is the player?
