   After three years of secret marriage, Gu Qingyan finally agreed to hold a wedding ceremony for Yan Ning. However, at the wedding, he abandoned Yan Ning after receiving a phone call from his best friend's widow, making Yan Ning the laughingstock of all the guests. That night, his best friend's widow and her child moved into their new home, and Gu Qingyan coldly informed his new wife, "This is Wanwan and Xiaobao, they're coming to stay for a while." Yan Ning knew it was time to let go. Her white moonlight had arrived, and she, as a substitute, was indeed unnecessary. Not wanting to drag things out, she went directly to her mother-in-law, who disliked her. They privately negotiated to keep the divorce a secret from her scumbag husband. ... On the day she received the divorce certificate, Yan Ning stared blankly at the dark red booklet. Suddenly, a large hand reached out from behind and threw the booklet into the trash can with a 'whoosh'. The sharp-tongued man who had disappeared for ten years, her childhood sweetheart, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and sneered. "How pathetic! This kind of trashy man isn't worth your tears? You have terrible taste in men!" After a pause, the man awkwardly said, "Choose another one. I think I'm pretty good." ... Gu Qingyan married Yan Ning as a substitute for his white moonlight. He always believed Yan Ning couldn't live without him, after all, he was the person she had secretly loved for many years. In their three-year marriage, he recklessly squandered her sincerity. But the truth was incredibly heartbreaking. Yan Ning had always treated him as a substitute, never entrusting her whole heart to him. Looking at the noble man whose features resembled his own, Gu Qingyan gave a self-deprecating smile.

    The female lead is in a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" situation, feeling she won't turn back. However, there's no betrayal; the male lead is quite possessive and obsessive. He loves the female lead but has a guilty conscience, believing she doesn't love him, making him incredibly awkward. This awkwardness causes the female lead unbearable suffering, and even her son disrespects her. It feels like she lost her love forever because of a moment of impulsiveness. The second male lead is the male lead's twin brother, treated like a dog. One night he said he didn't mind being a substitute, the next day he immediately changed his tune, acting self-righteous—which substitute wouldn't want to become the real deal! Female lead: I can't stand up to my ex-husband's face. Second male lead: We'll just switch. The female lead has a strong character; the beginning is a little angsty, but within five chapters she starts her comeback, incredibly satisfying. The second male lead suffers greatly; he's the female lead's childhood sweetheart, forced to give up their relationship, and even letting his younger brother seize the opportunity. But the younger brother is ungrateful and doesn't cherish the female lead! After finding out, he immediately returns to fight for her. And haha, in the story, he also uses this face to pretend to be the younger brother and date the female lead. He seems like a gentle and considerate man, but he's actually a creepy, scheming person. There are so many foreshadowing elements now; I really can't wait to see the day all the truth is revealed! Most importantly, the title is so catchy!
