   🌈First Book: Everyone in the industry knows that Chi Nian is Zhou Yanjing's carefully cultivated canary, a perfect, submissive substitute. She once imitated his beloved's style, smile, and even mannerisms, until she discovered a stack of faded photos in a secret compartment of the study… even the curve of her profile had been measured with a ruler. Zhou Yanjing smiled and ruffled her hair: "Nian Nian looks a lot like her today." That night, in the pouring rain, Chi Nian burned all traces of imitation and sent the signed abortion agreement to the Zhou Group building. Three years later at the Paris Jewelry Exhibition, Zhou Yanjing stormed into the VIP room with red eyes, only to find her gently adjusting the diamond necklace of the beloved beside someone else. Under the flashing lights of the media, she lightly touched his trembling hand with her fingertips: "Mr. Zhou, are you enjoying your game of being a substitute for my husband?" 🌷Second Book: Playing the role of a substitute for three years, Shi Tingxia avoided countless traps with the help of online comments, but she couldn't escape the soul-piercing daze that Pei Shuqian felt when he gazed at her. He smelled the lingering scent of roses on her neck, and the pastries he fed her contained the recipe for his beloved. The night she decided to leave, she deliberately barged into the basement, holding up the antique ring that had once been worn on someone else's finger, and chuckled, "Uncle, you sculpted me into her likeness, didn't you?" Later, rumors circulated in Beicheng that Pei Fuzi, who burned incense and chanted sutras, had gone mad, shattering all illusions about the past, and kneeling before the Snow Mountain Temple, seeking a fortune slip to find someone. Meanwhile, under the aurora borealis in Iceland, Shi Tingxia tore up the last bullet screen notification: "Warning!

    This one! Sweet and angsty, a substitute, the female lead is a substitute for her beloved, the male lead has mind-reading abilities, slightly humorous, the beginning is crazy about how torment the female lead, the end is crazy about how torment the male lead, it's definitely a case of "torture the wife for a while, then chase after her like a firestorm," the writing is concise and fast-paced, hope you like it~~
