The CEO’s White Moonlight Can’t Compete with the One Who Appeared Out of Nowhere? Can the Stand-In?

[Marriage of convenience, substitute, lost love, unexpected arrival, CEO, love triangle, winning back a husband] Shen Nianxue is the CEO of Shen Group. To fend off pressure to marry, she urgently needs a husband she can present to the world. Fate brings her together with Lu Qingci, a seemingly destitute painter whose face is identical to that of Ji Mingze, her lost love who vanished five years ago. Thirty million, a three-year contract: she buys herself a substitute. Lu Qingci agrees. No one knows the real reason he stays. His late first love, Lin Wan, bears an astonishing resemblance to Shen Nianxue. Two people with their own agendas begin a marriage in which each is the other's substitute. He gets up early every day to make her porridge, leaves a light on for her late at night, and quietly memorizes everything she likes. Meanwhile, Shen Nianxue is caught between two suitors: Lin Tian, the assistant who pursues her passionately, and Ji Mingze, her lost love who has returned with unwavering devotion. She never notices that the man always waiting for her at home is filling his entire studio with paintings of her, one by one. Then confidential company information leaks, and all the evidence points to Lu Qingci. Shen Nianxue tears up their agreement with her own hands and throws him out in front of everyone. As he leaves, he says only, “Perhaps this is for the best. Our substitute marriage ends here.” Later, the truth comes to light. Lin Tian is an industrial spy, Ji Mingze intends to swallow up the Shen family, and the man she drove away is the only one who ever truly cared for her. More ironically still, the mysterious mastermind she searched for everywhere, the anonymous genius who helped her resolve the company's crisis, was none other than him: the contract husband she had thrown out.
