You're Just a Substitute

Luo Xia grew up surrounded by love. She always thought she had more than enough of it, until she met Zhong Lishen.

She fell in love with him at first sight, and happily offered him her whole heart without holding anything back.

But he trampled on it again and again, treating it as worthless, because she was nothing more than a stand-in for the woman he loved.

At last, she came to her senses, turned around, and walked away with her head held high.

Why torture yourself trying to win over a heart of stone?

The Jiang family's eldest daughter, acclaimed actress Jiang Youman, was Zhong Lishen's one and only beloved.

To make her a star, Zhong Lishen poured every top-tier resource into her and personally raised her to the throne above all others.

But when Luo Xia offended Jiang Youman and was ostracized at every turn, he stood by and did nothing.

Later, Luo Xia let go of the past and left.

Zhong Lishen, however, changed completely.

He used his influence to blacklist Jiang Youman throughout the entertainment industry.

With ruthless methods, he brought down the Jiang family behind her, saddling the publicly listed company with tens of billions in debt in a matter of months.

One day, he finally found Luo Xia. His eyes bloodshot, he no longer dared let her go.

But she calmly wiped the spot he had touched with a tissue, as if she found it dirty.

Once, she offered him her whole world without reservation.

He didn't cherish it.

Now, he would bring the whole world to her.

PS: He had his fun hurting his wife, now he has to crawl through hell to win her back.

Zhou Niannian and Song Yu got together.

The Song family was a distinguished family with a century of history, while Zhou Niannian came from an ordinary background. It was clearly a case of her marrying up.

Song Yu was handsome and born to flirt. Even the mole on his Adam's apple was devastatingly sexy. Zhou Niannian had thought she would be the one who was different from all the others.

That was until Zhou Niannian came down with a terrible cold and could barely get out of bed, while Song Yu left her behind to attend a rose-themed dinner in another city.

Only then did Zhou Niannian realize she had never been his first choice. She was just a disposable mosquito-blood stand-in.

Zhou Niannian's heart grew cold. She went far away and vanished without a trace.

Song Yu, on the other hand, seemed like a different person. He stayed faithful and never had another woman.

When they met again, Song Yu saw Zhou Niannian beside a handsome man. A little girl with rosy cheeks held both their hands and called, “Mommy, Daddy!”

The family of three looked perfectly happy together.

At that moment, Song Yu nearly lost control of his car and crashed into the guardrail.

Content warning: He has to crawl through hell to win her back + she runs away while pregnant.
