The Ex-Winning-Her-Back Crematorium · Two Stand-ins
Scheming · Old Fox · Male Lead X Stunning Beauty · Pretending to Be a Sweet, Innocent Flower · Female Lead
Li Shaoyu has had a major headache lately. The canary he kept for two years has flown away.
An Ning returned the supplementary card she had never used, along with all the luxury goods he had given her, and left without looking back.
At first, he decided to keep An Ning around only because of her face. He thought he wouldn't care if she left, until he saw her acting coy with a man who looked somewhat like him. The veins in his forehead began to throb uncontrollably.

Li Shaoyu's features and bearing reminded An Ning of that person. She was drawn to him at first sight.
Her heart fluttered, and she tried every way she could to get close to him. In the end, she became the canary he kept on the side.
For two years, Li Shaoyu was neither warm nor cold toward her. He summoned her when he wanted her and dismissed her whenever he pleased. She played the part of an admirer perfectly, carefully currying favor with him. Just looking at his face was enough to make all her anger disappear.
But later, she saw that the person she had thought about for more than a decade had returned to City B.
That person was her fixation for ten years, the entire reason her life had meaning in its first half.
So that very night, she packed her things and left Li Shaoyu's villa.

Not long afterward, Li Shaoyu blocked An Ning's way at a banquet, his voice hoarse and weary. "What exactly do I have to do?"
An Ning curled her lips into a radiant smile and leaned close to his ear. "We were only treating each other as stand-ins. Li Shaoyu, how did you end up getting so caught up in your role?"
#I love you. I'm just pretending.#
*Both are each other's first love, and both have only ever been with each other.
*The male and female leads never got together with their respective idealized first loves! [Important]
*The leads have an eight-year age gap.
