Everyone said Jian Yan looked a lot like the rising starlet Jiang Yilin, especially their eyes. They both had crescent-shaped eyes that curved when they smiled.
The media made a big deal of it, bringing it up in almost every interview. Jian Yan herself didn't mind the comparison. After all, it was great to ride the wave of the starlet's popularity. Besides, she really had been Jiang Yilin's stand-in three years ago. Back then, Jiang Yilin was still an unknown actress. Later, she got involved with a rich sugar daddy and soared to stardom, landing one TV drama role after another.
Jian Yan had always treated Jiang Yilin as a role model. Then, at last, she managed to get close to Zhong Shengyuan, the second son of Huiyuan Real Estate, at a dinner party.
She'd only tried to seduce him a few times, and he was already hooked. Afterward, Jian Yan wrapped herself in a bedsheet and asked him, "Mr. Zhong, so many female celebrities throw themselves at you. Why did you choose me?"
Zhong Shengyuan exhaled a puff of smoke and turned to look at her. "You don't know?"
Thinking of the latest gossip, Jian Yan immediately caught on. She made an OK sign and said with professional dedication, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhong. I'm a professional stand-in."
As a professional stand-in, Jian Yan knew exactly when to leave the stage.
As soon as news came out that Zhong Shengyuan had visited Jiang Yilin on set late at night, Jian Yan packed her bags and left that very night. She left him a note: No need to thank me. This is the self-discipline expected of a stand-in.
At midnight, Zhong Shengyuan arrived with a cake to celebrate her birthday. When he saw the note she'd left in the living room, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he called her immediately.
Then he discovered she'd blocked him.
"You wanted this face, and I wanted your money."
A melodramatic stand-in romance, with the man suffering most in the latter half.
