The Substitute's Chess Game: I Shatter the Aristocracy and Rise from the Ashes

Three years ago, Su Wanqing was the envy of everyone in Jiangcheng, married into a wealthy family and living a fairytale with business tycoon Gu Chengze. Until that night, when he kicked her into a wall. She needed twelve stitches in the back of her head, and her fairytale romance shattered into bloodstained shards of glass. After suffering domestic abuse, she met Lu Yanche at a fast-food restaurant, a young waiter with melancholy eyes and a slender waist. He saw the despair in her eyes and gently offered her a glass of salvation over ice. Meanwhile, Fu Sihan, Jiangcheng’s newest tech tycoon, forced his way into her life and declared with the air of a domineering CEO, “Su Wanqing, I’ll join you in your revenge.”

On one side was a young soul who made her heart beat again; on the other, a business emperor capable of crushing her ex-husband into the dirt. Su Wanqing drifted through an abyss of pain and desire, unaware that a shocking conspiracy, ten years in the making, lay behind the tangled relationships between them...

When Gu Chengze kneels and begs her to come home, when Lu Yanche’s identity is revealed in a way that leaves her breathless, and when Fu Sihan pushes a marriage contract toward her, Su Wanqing strokes her belly and smiles sadly: “You all say you love me, but do you love me, or the stand-in who looks so much like ‘her’?”
