[Secret love + substitute + ex-husband regrets too late + angsty romance + second male lead takes the crown]
Everyone in City C knew that Lu Xubai had a wife who loved him with all her heart.
Wen Hao, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, was willing to humble herself for him. She loved him so deeply that no matter what rumors he or others spread, she always forgave him unconditionally.
Lu Xubai already had a cherished first love in his heart. Wen Hao had stolen him away from her.
Throughout their marriage, they barely spoke. He couldn’t hide his hatred for her, and she assumed they would simply carry on like that.
At the Lu family banquet, with countless media cameras flashing, Su Jibai appeared. With just one sentence, he drew all of Wen Hao’s attention: “Miss, you’ve had your fun. It’s time to come home!”
Everyone was stunned as Wen Hao left with a pretty boy, abandoning the man she supposedly loved most.
Furious, Lu Xubai called her, only to hear her laughing and chatting with Su Jibai. Wen Hao announced that she was ending their engagement.
“Wen Hao, you think finding some stand-in who looks a bit like me will make me jealous and get me to like you? Dream on.”
Wen Hao chuckled on the other end of the phone, once again sounding like the proud eldest daughter of the Wen family. “Like you? You’re just a stand-in for my cherished first love. That’s it, Lu Xubai. The engagement is over. Take care.”
*Lu Xubai and Wen Hao had been married for years. She used to get jealous often, so he thought she was just throwing a little tantrum. But this time she really did ask for a divorce for someone else.
He didn’t believe it. When he went to confront her in person, he learned the truth from Wen Hao’s brother: “She only liked you because your face bore some resemblance to Su Jibai’s.”
