The Fake Princess

Blurb: When Zhong Qing thought Gao Yuan might have feelings for her, she had no idea she was only a stand-in for the woman he loved. Once she found out, they became friends in public and "partners" in private. Gao Yuan needed a substitute, and she needed Gao Yuan. So they became each other's perfect replacement. To Gao Yuan, Zhong Qing was the perfect substitute. To Zhong Qing, she and Gao Yuan were two adults getting what they needed from each other. She was a fake in Gao Yuan's arms, a bona fide counterfeit princess. Now that the real thing had appeared, leaving was only natural. So when his true moonlight, the little princess, returned from abroad, the two of them ended things without mercy, no matter how inseparable they had once been. Fortunately, adults can part with dignity, without becoming a burden to each other. Not long afterward, the two who had parted ways unexpectedly met again. By then, Gao Yuan had the woman of his dreams by his side and had gotten what he wanted, while Zhong Qing had found true love and wore affection in her eyes. Both of them had bright, sweet futures in which all their wishes would come true. Truly, something to celebrate. Though Gao Yuan did look at her with a rather fierce, less-than-friendly expression. Later, when Gao Yuan wanted to be with Zhong Qing, he discovered it was the hardest thing he had ever attempted. Zhong Qing's indifference and coldness far exceeded his expectations. Content warnings: 1. Both leads are virgins, one-on-one romance, and both leads have issues. The female lead is someone's beloved. 2. Read with a clear head. Let people part on good terms. Theme: Respect yourself and respect love.
