The Stand-In Female Lead Marries the Real Young Master and Becomes a Star

Blurb:

In a melodramatic CEO-and-substitute romance, the female supporting character proposes to the male lead, only to be cruelly abandoned when his first love returns from abroad. She doesn't get the male lead's desperate pursuit and groveling, but she does get caught in a love triangle.

Everyone in high society tramples on her, mocking a third-tier star for dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family. In the end, the female supporting character even takes her own life for the male lead, donating her eyes and corneas to his first love, who was blinded in an accident.

As it happens, Li Xinyan has transmigrated into the role of this brainless female supporting character.

She takes a look in the mirror and lets out a deep sigh.

She's gorgeous, so how did she end up with such a bad brain? With eyes this beautiful, wouldn't it be better to use them to flirt with handsome young stars? Why donate them to that little green tea first love?

Besides, the male lead is just a fake young master who usurped the real heir's place.

Li Xinyan decides to be a lazy couch potato and obediently play the role of a pretty ornament.

But things don't go according to plan. Everything seems to be heading in the wrong direction.

"We'd like you to be our brand ambassador. Name your price!" a luxury brand executive says obsequiously.

Li Xinyan: "..." Didn't they used to say she had a frozen face and was nothing but a pretty ornament?

"This new film is perfect for you. You simply have to star in it!" says a famous A-list director, fawning over her.

Li Xinyan: "..." Didn't they used to say a third-tier star like her wasn't qualified, and that she was too low-class and would cheapen the film?

"Here's your invitation to our red-carpet event. Please, you have to attend!" says the organizer, humbly pleading.

Li Xinyan: "..." Didn't they used to complain that she only went to red carpets to mooch off the event and had no work to her name?

As Li Xinyan looks on, baffled, a handsome man in a sharp suit wraps his arms around her waist from behind and kisses the alluring beauty mark beneath her eye. "So, what else do you want? Would a marriage certificate be enough?"

Li Xinyan: "!!!"

The original male lead gets his happy ending with his first love, and at first he's on top of the world. But the longer they live together, the more wrong it feels.

His first love isn't as sweet, considerate, or obedient as a certain someone.

Eventually, he realizes that the so-called first love is actually a substitute for that very someone! By the time he comes to his senses and is ready to grovel for her back, news of her marriage is already everywhere.

And of all people, she marries the real young master who replaced him!

He rushes furiously up to the carefree Li Xinyan. "You just treated him as my substitute!"

Li Xinyan stands by her husband to the end. "Who's the substitute for whom is still up for debate. He's not as ugly or as poor as you!"

The original male lead: "..."
