   A mystery of substitution, a tangled web of love and truth—are you hopelessly drawn into the allure of substitution literature? This book, *After the Substitute Marriage, Young Master Fei Discovers He Is the Substitute*, is highly recommended! The female protagonist embarks on a substitute marriage, harboring feelings for her unrequited love. From beginning to end, the male protagonist never enters her heart. Initially, the male protagonist mistakes the female protagonist for her sister, believing her to be his savior, and thus makes things difficult for her as the substitute bride. The female protagonist, on the other hand, is convinced that her unrequited love's heart has been given to the male protagonist, and therefore tries every means to stay by his side. In this complex relationship, both are burdened by their own obsessions. The female protagonist is immersed in her memories of her unrequited love, blind to the male protagonist's feelings; the male protagonist, in his mistaken perception, treats the female protagonist harshly. But as they spend more time together, the plot begins to reverse. The male protagonist gradually discovers that he is the substitute bride, and his mindset changes accordingly. From her initial domineering attitude of "If you want to stay, you'll have to obey my orders," to her humble plea of ​​"Stay, or I'll kill this heart," to "I'll wear a suit, be as gentle as him, can you buy me as a substitute? I'll serve you wholeheartedly," and finally, her boundless and unprincipled pampering of her husband, is truly remarkable. The female lead's hidden identities are also quite striking: she's the leader in the eyes of a top hacker, the older sister of a boxing champion, and a respected surgeon. In this mystery of substitutes, what choices will she make? Will she hold onto her unwavering love, or be moved by the male lead's deep affection? Come and find out!

   The male lead raised the female lead from age 19 to 33, and she was the only one in his heart. The second male lead was the female lead's high school teacher and the male lead's best friend; he was a prize the female lead had stolen from her enemy. The male lead (Scorpio, extremely possessive and controlling): When the female lead wanted two men, he disagreed. Every argument ended with him compromising. When the female lead used the silent treatment, he would apologize, saying, "I'll change. Please love me more, okay?" The second male lead (Virgo, physically and mentally fastidious): He would say he was willing to be her toy for amusement, but in reality, he would get jealous and angry every time he saw the male lead being intimate with his wife, and couldn't sleep. Initially, his fastidiousness caused him to back down. Later, the second male lead said: 1. "You just said he touched you last night. Where did he touch you?" 2. "Yiyi, don't sentence me to death. Don't put an end to our past with your own hands. My marriage, my life, has never been someone else's decision. I only want you." She called him a mad dog, but he didn't get angry. He got up, knelt before her, and lowered his head. (Both male leads are older than the female lead, but both of them gave their virginity to the female lead's baby, which was too drawn out.)

    The female protagonist has a white moonlight in her heart and has always disliked stories where the male protagonist suffers angst. In her past life, she was killed by the young master's dog for peeping at her white moonlight while she was bathing. After being reborn, she deliberately seeks revenge on the young master and forcibly takes his white moonlight away. However, the young master's white moonlight doesn't love him; she only loves the young master. His heart is broken. The white moonlight he has taken already belongs to someone else, not him. He thought that as long as he treats her extremely well, she will eventually fall in love with him. But he was wrong. Although the person he has taken is by his side, her heart belongs to the young master. She cries and begs him to give her to the young master. A complete corpse. Before he died, the young master said he treated him like a brother, but he thought he was a worthless brother. She fainted, and he was worried, so he found a private doctor to take care of her and cared for her for a long time. He watched her get sick because of the young master, and his heart was broken. She even made a pact with him that he was not allowed to touch her before he fell in love with her, and he agreed like a lapdog. But he didn't know that the young master had also been reborn. The young master was reborn, and she loved him even more, but in order to survive, she pretended to love him. How could he not know that she didn't love him? He simply craved her love, even if it was a false one, she was willing to put on an act for him. He didn't want things to drag on and wanted to register their marriage, but she tried to delay. Threatened by him, she had no choice but to compromise. But suddenly, the young master appeared, blocking their marriage registration. She held the young master's hand as if it were truly them who wanted to register. He truly hated that the young master had been reborn, hindering their happiness. Even a forced marriage was still happiness. He wanted to kill the young master, but she compromised again and registered their marriage. The young master tearfully asked her if they had really registered. He tore up their marriage certificate, but she told him to forget her. He had a title, yet he was still jealous. In his previous life, when he couldn't have her, he was jealous of the lack of a title. Loving someone too much, even knowing they don't love you back, is like forcing a relationship—it's never sweet, never satisfying. She drugged him, and in his delirium, he heard her and the young master's intimacy, thinking it was a dream. When he woke up, she said she was intimate with him. Three months later, she became pregnant. She was always restless, constantly thinking about things, and even when he hugged her, she would instinctively slap him. It wasn't until the child was born that he found out who the father was. She asked him if he would kill her, but he only wanted to kill the young master, not her. He pressed her, asking if she had ever truly loved him. Her lack of love became a permanent pain in his heart. He let her go, but the young master wanted to kill him. She suddenly jumped out and took the knife for him. He didn't understand what she meant by this. The young master said she had changed her mind, that the meaning of his rebirth was gone. But he, like a bitter melon, was tired and felt there was no need to love her anymore. Her change of heart came too late, happiness came too late, and he had already let go long ago. With bitterness, she repeatedly asked him if he still loved her. Did he still love her? Will his and her love continue to be entangled and complicated, or will it just end like this?

Because someone told him that his wife had appeared there. He chased for three days and three nights, but the one he caught wasn't you. He squatted at the dock all night, and when I found him the next day, his temples were completely white. He never cried when he drank. When sober, he wouldn't shed a single tear. Only when drunk, lying alone on the inn's bed, calling out, "Butterfly, Butterfly, where are you, where are you?", Would tears stream from his eyes into the pillow. I wiped it for him. He never knew. He bought that house in the south of the city. The yard was full of gardenias, the swing was set up, and the children's room was furnished. Every year he went there, sitting alone in the empty yard, staring blankly at the gardenia tree. The flowers bloomed and withered, withered and bloomed again. You never came back. Later, he finally found her. She stood in the pavilion, wearing an elegant kimono, her eyes cold and aloof, like someone who had stepped out of a painting. I stood outside the pavilion, suddenly feeling very small, very small—like a blade of grass by the roadside, looking up and seeing a flower blooming in the sky. I am illiterate, my hands are calloused from washing and cooking, and I wear faded coarse cloth clothes. But she, even the wrinkles on her cuffs are beautiful. No wonder. No wonder he missed her for so many years. That day, he knelt in front of the Yang family mansion for a whole day, exchanging all his wealth for betrothal gifts, just wanting her to come back. She refused. She spoke to him in broken Japanese, "Sir, you've mistaken me for someone else." When he came out, the light in his eyes had died. He walked past me without even seeing me. His eyes were always only for her. I rushed into the pavilion, knelt before her, and tearfully told her every word of the suffering he had endured over the years: his searching, his longing, his drunkenness, his insomnia, his gray hair. I asked for nothing else but for her to come back—if she would come back, I could leave. I could disappear completely. She just stood there, looking at me expressionlessly. Finally, in that broken tone, she coldly said, "If you love him, stay by his side. Warm him. Sooner or later he will feel your love and accept you." Then she turned and walked away, step by step. I knew she wasn't heartless. The blood from her fingernails had stained the lining of her sleeve. Like me, she was hiding her deepest pain behind the coldest expression. Later, he finally married me. On our wedding day, he drank heavily, becoming completely drunk. I helped him back to his room, and as he leaned on my shoulder, he kept calling her name. A year later, I gave birth to our daughter, and he named her Nian Die. Zhang Zhiming's daughter, Zhang Nian Die. At that moment, I understood. In his heart, I would forever be nothing more than a shadow of her. Nian Die, Nian Die. Unrequited love will never be reciprocated. Until his death, he carried the silver butterfly hairpin she had left behind. I stood before his grave, without weeping. I simply placed another hairpin—the one she wore last—with his. "You are finally reunited," I said. "She waited for you her whole life, and you waited for her your whole life. In the next life, don't miss each other again." And that exquisite crystal ball—the only gift he had personally chosen for her—I quietly placed in my daughter's swaddling clothes. Let Nian Die grow up with it; it was the only remaining tenderness her father had left in his life.

    💔The male lead's unrequited love is a source of deep suffering: Jiang Xin has been deeply in love with the female lead since high school, but she harbors feelings for her "white moonlight" and remains indifferent to him. He hides his love in the decadence of an "ordinary person"—a freeloader and unsuccessful at work after adulthood, he is actually exiled because of her "lack of love." His years of unrequited love are crushed, and every detail is heart-wrenching. 🌙The female lead's "white moonlight" filter: The white moonlight in the female lead's heart is her obsession. She is oblivious to the male lead's kindness and even unintentionally hurts him. This "he burns out his light and warmth, but she only remembers the past" setting precisely hits the heart-wrenching point of "the female lead doesn't love the male lead."
