The great movie star Qi Chi died from overwork, then transmigrated into a same-named fake young master and substitute love interest in a melodramatic novel.
In the original story, the substitute love interest happily returned home, only to find that
His parents looked at him with disdain. "Don't go telling everyone who you are."
His older brother warned him coldly. "Stay away from Xiao Qiu. Don't think you can take his place."
His scumbag fiance, Yan Ze, said, "Qi Chi, even if we get married, you'll still only be a substitute."
After working hard for a lifetime, Qi Chi just wanted someone to support him so he could laze around. "Sure, sure, whatever you say."
Parents, brother, scumbag fiance: ...
Why did that feel so unsatisfying?
Scumbag Yan Ze hated Qi Chi, so when Qi Chi called off their engagement, he breathed a sigh of relief.
But afterward, he started dreaming. In his dreams
He and Qi Chi got married, and Qi Chi loved him and tried to please him.
Even when Yan Ze treated him coldly and only saw him as a substitute, Qi Chi still had eyes only for him.
But Yan Ze still hated him.
One day, a business rival kidnapped Qi Chi and Pei Qiu. Yan Ze could only save one, and without hesitation chose Pei Qiu. Then he watched Qi Chi get pushed off a building.
Yan Ze's eyes nearly burst with fury.
Only after Qi Chi died did Yan Ze realize that Qi Chi was the one he truly loved. He spent the rest of his life consumed by regret.
After waking from the dream, Yan Ze decided to make it up to Qi Chi.
But then he saw
Lazy Qi Chi lounging in the arms of his archenemy, glancing up nonchalantly. "Who are you?"
The powerful man gently stroked his hair. "Good boy."
