Name: Being a Substitute Isn't a Problem
Author: Ruo Tongyan

Synopsis

Mr. Mori used to be a winner in life, according to his subordinates: he had both a successful career and a happy family. Until four years ago, when his “son” ran away and his wife was gone, too. On the subject, lonely old Mori says: I don't regret it. I absolutely don't regret it. Everything was done for the optimal solution. Another day spent worrying himself sick over the Port Mafia. Late at night, Mr. Mori took out an old photo from eighteen years ago to reminisce about the past, his hairline retreating more and more by the day. Then, one of his troublesome subordinates interrupted him again. The subordinate glanced at the photo by accident, and his eyes lit up. “Boss! So you're a fan of Rina Gen, too!” Mr. Mori: ??? Watching the new teenage idol on TV, her face still full of collagen, Mr. Mori's expression turned into a kaleidoscope of emotions. The trending headline: #NewTeenIdolMeetsMiddleAgedManLateAtNight, #WhoIsHerSugarDaddy The children he'd raised all called to condemn him: “Doctor Mori really is heartless, a scumbag and the enemy of women!” “Mr. Mori is old enough to be her father, and he's still playing the stand-in for his unattainable first love game. What a nasty hobby.” “Boss, forgive my impertinence, but what you're doing is truly a betrayal of Lady Gen's memory!” “Sorry, Boss, but I think Lady Gen is irreplaceable. Please don't let a similar face bewitch you.” Mr. Mori, now branded a “scumbag”: ...Let me explain. Rina Gen: “Sorry, Mr. Mori, I don't want to be someone's substitute. Besides, I'm only eighteen. I'm still young.” Mr. Mori: “Madam's acting has become more and more superb. And... someone who's eighteen twice over really shouldn't be pretending to be a girl anymore.” Rina Gen smiled as she took out a scalpel. “...You're still as awful as ever, Rintaro.” Coming soon: "[Bungo Stray Dogs Crossover] After Marrying a Goodhearted Man", male lead: Donut "[Crossover] I Can't Lose to My Ex Today Either", 5t5 x gender-swapped Ranpo Please add these to your reading lists, my dears!

It leads to a comfortable ending. If it were a HE in the traditional sense, I would be like eating a fly. Now this is good.

Well, it's been a long time since I finished reading a novel like this. I feel a little sad after reading it, and maybe a little worried about gains and losses, maybe. The novel is very contagious. Sometimes it makes people think deeply, and sometimes it makes people sigh that maybe this is the sanity of adults? The writing is very good. When I saw the title of the novel, I thought it was a comedy and entertainment novel. After reading it, I realized that I was naive, but I missed the title. Alas. Finally, I would like to wish the heroine her new life. It is not easy to welcome a new life. Well, I'm still a little curious about what happened with the tutor. If there is a side story, I hope it will be lighthearted and enjoyable. If not, it doesn't matter. After all, it has an open ending. This is the most in-depth article I have read this year, because I tend to read more light and entertaining articles, well... Happy ending, although I am a bit late, but after all, I read it from another article by the author???

The ending is full of flowers ~ I like this ending very much! If they are impulsive for love, it would not be in line with the characters of Mori and Yuan. Life is not just about love, there is always some helplessness. The entanglement of Mori Ogai and Rintaro's two identities is also very interesting. I look forward to the extra story of their reunion in the future.

So be has been determined, but this is just the be of "a love". In terms of Yuan Hesen's life, the two of them already belong to he... Yuan has lived the life he wanted, and Sen has now realized the three-moment vision. Both of them have achieved the results they want, but without each other.

Mori Ogai is really less suitable for dating than Dazai

This is the beauty of rationality... What's so heart-wrenching about an adult's love that it lasts until death... Love is not everything for a person... But I will always remember Taro Morinori who said "life is short, and you can feel happy in just a few seconds. If you don't laugh, you won't regret it in the future", and you will also remember Mori Ogai who pursues the best solution...

After re-reading it, I was still very emotional. It is super beautiful. When I read it for the first time, I was very sad when I saw the separation of the two people at the end. But after re-reading it, I feel that this is the real be literature. The choice between the two people led them to this ending. Ogai Mori is the leader of the gang, so he has the responsibility, but Taro Mori is the person that Minamoto expected. I hope they can meet again in the future.
