Please add The Amnesiac Wife's Perfect Stand-In Script to your reading list!

Blurb

He Lanxing transmigrates into a book and becomes the cannon-fodder CEO in The Pricey Movie Emperor's Darling Husband. Oh, and he's also a domineering CEO dating a small-time star. In the story, the young star was orphaned as a child and has struggled to make it in the entertainment industry, but things never go his way. Even after two years in the business, he can't even come up with a few hundred yuan. He Lanxing figures that the original host's romantic entanglements have nothing to do with him. The breakup is happening.

The first time He Lanxing meets Fu Chenshen, he can cook, is taller than him, more handsome, more stylish, and more pitiable.

He Lanxing, a card-carrying pretty-boy lover, has stars in his eyes and immediately declares, "I'll spoil him, spoil him rotten." Star Entertainment has invested in a leading-man drama, there's an offer to be the global ambassador for a luxury brand, and there's a hit variety show that's taken the whole country by storm. Fu Chenshen turns down every single one!

He Lanxing rises onto his tiptoes and forcefully pins Fu Chenshen against the kitchen cabinets. "Didn't you say you were so poor you had nothing but three hundred yuan? Why would you rather drive a Wuzheng three-wheeled truck hauling cement than take my offers?"

The hand holding the spatula trembles slightly.

Fu Chenshen, a real domineering CEO: "Darling, I'm after your youth and beauty, not your connections."

Meanwhile, Fu Chenshen: "Assistant He, hurry up and get my nine-yuan-nine free-shipping outfit."

A skit: On the night of a certain big shot's banquet, He Lanxing stares at the legendary big shot, deep in thought. Why does this big shot feel so Fu Chenshen-ish? The heck, that's not how the script goes.

A certain big shot, Fu Chenshen, nearly drops to his knees in front of He Lanxing while holding a glass of red wine. Fu Chenshen: "I didn't, I wouldn't, just hear me out."

Help me up, I can still make up more.

Upcoming story: The Amnesiac Wife's Perfect Stand-In Script

Chi Jingyan wakes up one day and realizes that the world he lives in is a book. He is a stand-in kept by the protagonist top, Feng Bohan, to keep him entertained.

The love of Feng Bohan's life goes abroad, leaving him miserable. By chance, he discovers that Chi Jingyan looks seventy percent like his beloved, then offers him a contract worth two million a month to play the part of a loving couple with him. When the love of his life returns, Chi Jingyan will be abandoned and left dead in the street.

Great. The plot has only just begun, and he still has a year before he gets dumped. Chi Jingyan is a D-list celebrity, with no money and no fame. Two million a month? Only a fool would turn that down.

Hah. What's the point of pretending to be the protagonist's beloved? Replacing him is the way to go.

The beloved is a lofty, untouchable beauty, so Chi Jingyan will go soft and act sweet.

The beloved can lift a cauldron, so Chi Jingyan will pretend to be sickly and cough up blood. He'll ask to be carried or held.

The beloved has never even held Feng Bohan's hand, so Chi Jingyan will come up with all kinds of ways to ask Feng Bohan to warm his bed.

As Feng Bohan falls deeper and deeper, his gaze grows increasingly tender, and he looks after Chi Jingyan in every way, doing whatever he says. Chi Jingyan is very pleased. He just has to wait until the beloved returns a year later, then take the money and run.

Later, Chi Jingyan does run away, after regaining his memories and taking the baby with him.

Nobody told him he could have a baby!

From the top's perspective

His wife of three years injures his head while filming and loses his memory. He's convinced he's a stand-in for some beloved and wants them to act out an angsty, coercive romance that hurts him physically and emotionally.

What can a man do when it's his own wife? Spoil him, of course.

Feng Bohan: "Don't smile. When you smile, you don't look like him."

Chi Jingyan smirks to himself, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"Big Brother, I won't smile anymore. Please love me."

Feng Bohan: "You're not worthy of my bed."

Chi Jingyan pretends to be heartbroken, then strips off in a flash.

"Cough, cough, cough. Hubby, my waist hurts. Rub it for me, please."

Much later.

Feng Bohan: "Wife, you really are my wife."

Chi Jingyan: "I'm not, I didn't, don't make things up."

The good news: His wife is getting clingier and clingier.

The bad news: It's all an act.

The even worse news: His wife ran away with the baby!

Theme: Love conquers all
