Selfish Desires

Sweet and Satisfying, Subverting the Usual Tropes | Bad Woman | Substitute | The Chase Ends at the Crematorium | White Moonlight

Well-Behaved Actress X Cold, Arrogant Power Broker

To pay for her grandmother's medical treatment, Su Zuo became the substitute for business magnate Lu Beizhun's white moonlight. She did her best to act sweet and obedient, striving to become the kind of woman he liked, while everyone around him eagerly waited to laugh at her when she was finally forced to leave in disgrace.

At last, Lu Beizhun's white moonlight returned, along with a bet worth four million: they were betting that Lu Beizhun's white moonlight would come out on top.

When Su Zuo heard about the bet, her eyes lit up. Had she just found the secret to making a fortune?

So she pulled out all the stops to create every opportunity she could for the white moonlight and Lu Beizhun to grow closer.

But Lu Beizhun either ignored her efforts or sabotaged them.

The white moonlight tearfully demanded, "Don't you like me?"

Lu Beizhun frowned. "Are you slandering me?"

Su Zuo held her forehead. This was the first CEO I'd ever had to manage, but he was also the worst! He was impossible to manage, absolutely impossible!

Just as Su Zuo was preparing to retire after collecting her "hard-earned wages," that tall figure suddenly cornered her. Lu Beizhun's eyes held back a storm of emotion. "You pushed me away. Where are you going?"

Su Zuo took a step back. "To... help you fulfill your dream?" The beautiful dream of being with your white moonlight.

Lu Beizhun leaned in, his breath scorching. "From beginning to end, you were my dream."

Su Zuo: "?" After playing the substitute all this time, she discovers that she's actually the white moonlight? How... is she supposed to get away unscathed?
