Turns Out the Substitute Is a Scumbag

Everyone in their circle knew Wei Jue was Shen Yichen's wealthy benefactor. They also knew Shen Yichen was only a substitute for someone else.

Everyone said Shen Yichen was hopelessly devoted. Even though he was only a stand-in for someone's first love, he still loved Wei Jue deeply, willingly staying by his side, working tirelessly and letting Wei Jue have his way with him.

They all said Shen Yichen was in love with him. After a while, even Wei Jue thought so, until one day, without warning, Shen Yichen suddenly broke up with him. Their relationship, which should have stayed hidden and twisted underground forever, was completely exposed on every major platform, and the platforms promptly crashed.

“Rising Star Shen Yichen Turns Out to Be a Wealthy Man's Kept Lover?”

“The One on Top Was Actually the One on the Bottom. Incredible!”

“After Years as a Stand-In, Shen Yichen Is Cruelly Dumped and So Heartbroken He Wants to Quit Showbiz?”

“Love, Hate, Jealousy, and Obsession: First-Love Idol Lin Sihai Returns. What Will Shen Yichen Do?”

Shen Yichen never expected that he was only using Wei Jue's influence to make quick money in showbiz. Once he had earned enough, he wanted to leave without a fuss. But then Lin Sihai suddenly returned, and now everyone thought he had broken up with Wei Jue because he was heartbroken... Shen Yichen: No, I'm just a scumbag, plain and simple.

1. The protagonist is the pursuer. My writing isn't great, and I wrote the blurb a long time ago, so the story may veer off course as I write.

2. Whether the pursuer is a scumbag depends on your tolerance. I originally wanted to make him a real scumbag, but he doesn't seem all that bad on the page.

3. The author's logic is dead.

Theme: The sun always shines after the storm.
