Married into a wealthy family as a substitute bride, Su Yan becomes the laughingstock of the whole capital.
The real young master, just returned from the countryside, takes the place of the fake young master who refused to marry, becoming the bride of Lu Jinye, the ruthless, cold-hearted, unhinged CEO of the rumors. Everyone is convinced he is merely a stand-in and will be kicked out sooner or later.
Even Su Yan thinks this is just a marriage of convenience, with each of them getting what they want.
That is, until the fake young master publicly exposes his “stand-in” status, expecting him to be thrown out in disgrace.
Instead, Lu Jinye holds him protectively in his arms and overturns every rumor in front of everyone. “The only person I, Lu Jinye, have loved for ten years is Su Yan. What stand-in?”
The whole internet erupts!
Only then does Su Yan realize:
This marriage by proxy was his own clever plan to turn the tables, and also the tender trap Lu Jinye had been laying for ten years.
He thought he was the hunter in control, never realizing that from the moment he casually saved Lu Jinye in an alley ten years ago, he had become the sole obsession etched into Lu Jinye’s very bones.
