When Yu Huan discovered she was a stand-in, she overturned the engagement party.
Her fiancé, Lin Luchuan, wasn't angry in the slightest. With his usual roguish smile and charming eyes, he coaxed her and threatened her at the same time.
"Be good and do as I say, and you'll still be Mrs. Lin. Otherwise..."
Her friend tried to talk her out of it too. "A man like Lin Luchuan, with his powerful family and incredible looks, has women fighting over even the chance to be his stand-in. Why make a fuss when he's willing to marry you?"
Yeah, right. Who cares if he wants to marry me? No wonder he spoiled me rotten... A scumbag's debts are paid back by another scumbag. Just you wait, you bastard.
Yu Huan strode off. Lin Luchuan didn't try to stop her.
His friend told him to go after her and sweet-talk her. Lin Luchuan shook his head with confidence.
"No need. That silly girl loves herself too much to really break up with me. She'll just throw a tantrum and come crawling back."
Soon, very soon, his face-slapping moment came, and he found himself unable to resist her.
The proud man who had never bowed his head was reduced to begging Yu Huan in utter desperation.
"Yu Huan, you said you loved me. That you only loved me."
One-on-one romance, both leads' first relationship, happy ending.
This stand-in isn't the usual ex-lover's white moonlight.
A fake, calculating little green tea x a man who truly cherishes and loves her, a bastard through and through.

A Cunning Search for Love
Blurb:
Everyone knew Yu Huan loved Lu Mingchen with all her heart. She'd even die for him.
So Lu Mingchen got engaged to his white moonlight and wanted her to be his mistress.
Yu Huan was furious and swore to find a man a hundred times better than Lu Mingchen.
In a moment of lust and infatuation, she pounced on the powerful Young Master Lin, Lin Shaochuan.
Lin Shaochuan came from a powerful family, had incredible looks, and never lacked for women.
He never expected a bold little temptress to seduce him at a dance.
Yu Huan thought she was just a one-night fling for the eldest Young Master Lin.
She never imagined he'd spoil her rotten and make her the only one.
Later...
When Lu Mingchen tried to win Yu Huan back and got thoroughly humiliated, he angrily demanded:
"I was only a scumbag once. Lin Shaochuan has been with countless women. You're choosing him because he's richer, aren't you?"
Lin Shaochuan kicked the scumbag away, put an arm around his beloved wife, and took out an old photo of Yu Huan as a young girl.
"Look closely. She's the only woman I've ever had."
From our girlhood to our youth, from school days to our wedding day, she's the only joy I've ever plotted to lose myself in.
A friend's book recommendation
After I Became an Evil God, by Tiantian Ruwo
One:
One day, Jiang Xu received a call from her business partner, who was also a male friend always eager to help.
"Your ex-boyfriend from almost ten years ago is getting married again."
"..."
"Wait, the wedding's off. Someone stabbed your ex-boyfriend."
"..."
"Wait, I got the details. It looks like the bride's own father stabbed him!"
"..."
"Weird. Why does the bride's father look a bit like your dad? I remember your father disappeared when you were two, right?"
"...Is there anything else you want to say? Could you say it all at once?"
"Yes, yes! One last thing! Why did you and your ex break up back then?"
"Because I once saw his parents try to murder someone in a place called the Lost Realm."
Two:
Jiang Xu always felt that something was wrong,
but she couldn't tell what.
Until she discovered
that her mother might be a follower of an evil god,
that her father had been missing for years because of an evil god's curse,
and that her innocent, adorable younger sister was secretly hiding another side of herself.
As for her boyfriend,
well,
she'd known from the beginning that he couldn't possibly be a good person.
On the eve of the world's destruction,
countless secrets would rise to the surface before her eyes,
and the biggest secret of all was herself:
she was the most terrifying of all the evil gods.
Mystery and horror, slow burn, power progression
A female lead who's the big boss without knowing it x a male lead who's an evil god with multiple split personalities
Theme: Love is patient and kind. Love never ends.
Can you take a photo? What's going on with the male protagonist's child bride? Does the male protagonist like his child bride?
It turns out that the would-be ex-boyfriend's methods are so insidious
Congratulations on the completion. Spread flowers.
Women should despise poverty and love wealth, hahaha
Farewell My Concubine is such a classic
Maybe I'm old... I can't appreciate this kind of sentimental writing...
Please clarify, the male protagonist has an ex or an ambiguous partner physically and mentally, otherwise there would be no such thing as a "substitute". There is always that woman who exists, so people say that the female protagonist is a substitute, right?
I like this brother, his views on his lover are so cute
What the male protagonist said was true and false, and he must have lied to the male counterpart. Otherwise you'd be too bastard
How come the heroine and the hero end up together? Is it just because the hero changed his ways and treated the heroine well in the end? But I think their views are completely inconsistent. Wouldn't the heroine feel disgusted when she realizes the real hero?
