The Stand-In White Moonlight Went Viral After Giving Up

[Complete] Jiang Cha came from a good family, was beautiful, and had a loving wealthy fiancé, a devoted childhood friend with a wolfdog personality, and a younger brother who was a top-tier star. Everyone said Jiang Cha had won at life. That was until she discovered she was merely the substitute female supporting character in a wealthy-family romance novel where readers were asked to bet on the love interest. Her wealthy fiancé, devoted childhood friend, and top-tier star younger brother all treated her as a stand-in for their beloved white moonlight. Once the real white moonlight came back, her good days would be over. Jiang Cha: I’m done trying. I’m not following this script anymore. She cut ties with all three of them overnight. When they asked why, she pretended to sob and said, “I’m sorry. I still can’t forget my ex, who died young.” The three powerful men all sneered. “Don’t regret it.” * Everyone in the industry thought Jiang Cha had completely given up and was finished. But later, someone filmed a video. At a party, while Jiang Cha was having the time of her life, the distinguished president of the Fu family suddenly appeared in front of her. The man gave her a look with his dark eyes and parted his thin lips. “So you’re the one going around telling people I’m dead?” The whole industry went wild. Jiang Cha: Shit!!! Her ex, the one who was supposed to be dead, seemed to have come back to life. * After Jiang Cha became famous overnight, all the old misunderstandings were cleared up. The powerful men regretted their actions and wanted to pursue her again. They thought Jiang Cha’s ex would be an easy target. But every move they made was inexplicably blocked, and they were thoroughly sent to the face-slapping crematorium. Only then did they realize that Jiang Cha’s supposedly dead ex was the one person they truly couldn’t afford to offend. Author’s Weibo: @Jinjiang Chuanbao Reading guide: 1v1 + happy ending The original female lead and male lead are villains. Lighthearted, brainless, written at an elementary-school level, and illogical. Read if you’re okay with that. Check the character list for the male lead. He won’t appear too early or too late. There’s more to the reason he and the female lead broke up, and it will be explained. After the male lead officially appears and meets her, the romance will take up a larger portion of the story, featuring plenty of lovey-dovey sweetness and angst, including but not limited to steamy scenes. This isn’t a pure revenge-and-face-slapping wish-fulfillment story. At its core, it’s a transmigrate-into-a-book story, and the original novel follows the framework of an old-school CEO romance. The characters’ personalities and values do not represent the author’s. They are all part of the fictional storytelling. #Coming soon: Marrying Up (Visit the author’s page and add it to your collection!) 1. Tong Wu is Pei Ji’s fiancée, the ideal wealthy-family bride: gentle, quiet, and reserved. So when Pei Ji’s beloved white moonlight returned to China, everyone waited to see Tong Wu get dumped. Then the Tong family would lose even the tiny shortcut they had to climb into the circle of the powerful by attaching themselves to the Pei family. But later, Tong Wu still frequented upscale clubs, and the jewelry and gowns she wore were even more extravagant than when she used to dress up carefully to accompany Pei Ji to parties. Some people spread rumors that Tong Wu had resorted to underhanded means and found a sugar daddy old enough to be her father, just to keep up appearances. That night, Tong Wu returned home, took off her expensive jewelry, changed into a silk nightgown, and stretched out on the soft bed. A large hand rested on her back. Callused fingertips traced upward from her slender swanlike neck, gently stroking her as if petting a cat. Tong Wu murmured, “He Jinsen, don’t tease me...” The most prominent and esteemed man in the city’s elite circle pulled her into his arms, his broad palm cupping the back of her neck. His eyes were deep and unreadable. “People outside say I’m an old man.” He lifted her chin, making her look at him, and asked in a hoarse voice, “Wu Wu, when are you going to give me a title?” 2. He Jinsen and Pei Han, the eldest son of the Pei family, were close friends and had grown up in the same circle. When Pei Ji, the Pei family’s second son, got engaged, He Jinsen sat in the most prominent seat in the VIP section and watched Pei Ji appear with Tong Wu on his arm. Some people called the Tong family heiress stiff and boring, and said it was obvious Pei Ji had been forced into the marriage by his family for their mutual benefit. They also mocked the Tong family, nouveaux riches who were blatantly hoping to use the Peis to climb into high society. The Pei family’s eldest son leaned over and quietly asked what he thought. At the time, He Jinsen knew nothing about the girl standing in the distance in her gown, looking somewhat ill at ease. He held a freshly lit cigar and glanced at her through the faint smoke, his manner casual. “She does seem boring.” They met again later at an art gallery. By chance, He Jinsen saw Tong Wu chatting with a friend about a painting by an artist she liked. She stood in the light with a sweet smile, her eyes sparkling with a light he had never seen before. Soon, Pei Ji’s beloved white moonlight, who had been abroad for ten years without a word, returned to China. 3. Tong Wu had been taught since childhood to be obedient and sensible. For the sake of her family’s interests, she was expected to have no personality of her own. Only when she was with He Jinsen could she drop the act, be willful and spoiled, and be her true self. At first, she thought He Jinsen was only interested in her because she was something new and entertaining, while she needed to climb onto his high branch. They were simply using each other. But later, Tong Wu learned that this man was serious. He had been plotting for a long time, all for the sake of one look. He was happy to let her marry up. #A story about a powerful man in the capital’s elite circle who stops at nothing to “steal” someone’s wife A powerful man in the capital’s elite circle, who has been plotting for ages × a seemingly gentle but secretly thorny little rose Theme: Saving each other, bringing warmth to one another, and spreading positive energy
