[Substitute / Marriage First, Love Later / The Ex’s Long Road to Redemption / Age Gap]
Bai Xingwan loved the Lu family’s second young master for ten years.
But on the eve of their engagement, he betrayed her.
Her fiancé put one arm around his new sweetheart and blocked her path with the other, brazenly declaring that there was no way he would cancel the wedding. Her own father used her mother’s medical expenses to force her into a wedding dress.
With nowhere else to turn,
she went to her fiancé’s older brother and said with utmost sincerity, “Young Master Lu, please marry me. I can be a substitute, have your children, and I have a face that looks about fifty percent like your first love.”
The eldest young master Lu lowered his eyes and stared at her.
“How good are you at it?”
“Try me and find out.”
Lu Yan’an, heir to the Lu Group, Haicheng’s most powerful family, was cool-headed, self-controlled, and strictly chaste.
Bai Xingwan was six years younger than him. They had different interests and tastes, and after getting married, they had almost no connection beyond making a baby every so often.
Everyone thought Bai Xingwan was just a substitute and would never win Lu Yan’an’s true love.
Yet in countless ambiguous, breathless nights, Lu Yan’an gripped Bai Xingwan’s chin and kissed her until she could hardly breathe. “Wanwan, actually, she doesn’t look like you...”
Bai Xingwan was thrown into a panic.
She had never imagined that one day she would become hopelessly caught up in this game of real and false substitutes.
