She was the substitute he bought, but she became the only love in his life.
Twenty-five-year-old Lin Nianchu, in order to save her bankrupt family, was forced to marry Pei Yanzhi, the head of the Pei Group - the former fiancé of her sister who had been missing for five years.
On their wedding night, he drunkenly pressed her under him and shouted his sister's name. He said: "Remember, you are just a substitute." Lin Nianchu agreed. She told herself it was just a deal. She will find out the truth about her sister's disappearance in the Pei family, and then escape unscathed.
But she didn't expect that Pei Yanzhi, who was as cold as ice, would stay by her bed all night long when she was sick; she didn't expect that he would show an unprecedented gentle expression when she played the piano; she didn't expect that he would take a bullet for her in a life-or-death situation.
When she finally got up the courage to say "I love you", her sister came back.
The truth from five years ago was revealed - his sister never loved him, and his obsession with protecting her for five years turned out to be a scam.
"Now, do you still want me as a substitute?" She asked.
Pei Yanzhi hugged her tightly, his voice trembling: "Lin Nianchu, you are not a substitute. You are the only person I have truly loved in my life."
If love is a big gamble, she put everything on the line. Can she win herself back this time?
