Blurb:

Huai Zhi has been with rising business tycoon Jiang Lin for five years.

Jiang Lin gives her a glamorous life and indulges her extravagant ways, asking only that she be obedient and docile.

So Huai Zhi has long known that the man has someone else in his heart, his one true love, and never brings it up.

Later, that woman returns to the country and becomes the lead actress in a movie Huai Zhi is starring in.

At last, Jiang Lin has the chance to give all his tenderness to his one true love.

Everyone wonders when Huai Zhi will be cast aside.

During a rehearsal, the other woman shoves Huai Zhi down the stairs. Rumors that the two women are at odds set off a media storm.

Huai Zhi becomes the laughingstock of the entire internet, branded once and for all as a "replacement."

At the hotel, Jiang Lin looks arrogantly at her swollen ankle and says coldly, "Stop playing these little games."

Huai Zhi is stunned for a moment, then takes the initiative and asks to break up.

Jiang Lin: "Fine. You'd better not come crawling back and beg me to take you back."

-

After the breakup, everyone waits to see Huai Zhi make a fool of herself.

During an interview on set, a reporter asks about her relationship with Jiang Lin.

On camera, Huai Zhi's red lips curl into a faint smile. She says lightly, "We're not close."

Half a month later, a set of photos dominates the trending lists. In the darkness of night, a man tenderly wipes the tears from a sleeping Huai Zhi's face.

In no time, #HuaiZhiJiangLinAreAMatch# sweeps the internet, and everyone is sending them their blessings.

A buddy calls to congratulate him: "Huai Zhi really is devoted to you."

Jiang Lin stares at the face in the photos, which looks nine-tenths like his own, and grinds his teeth in fury.

Only then does he realize that he was the real clown all along.

*

He takes nothing seriously; she only plays along.

+++In this contest waged in the name of love, they pretend to care, yet find themselves trapped.

Glamorous actress X aloof, stubborn CEO

Please note:

1. This is a replacement romance, and neither lead is perfect.

2. The writing is amateurish and the plot makes no sense. Thank you for reading.

3. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

1.

I saw Qi Xiajing again at a department dinner at the hospital.

The man, a new associate professor there to offer guidance, lounged against the sofa. His deep-set features shifted between light and shadow beneath the spotlights, giving him a languid, aristocratic air.

Someone suggested playing Truth or Dare, and Li Dong was unlucky enough to be picked.

A troublemaker asked, "What did your first kiss feel like?"

Li Dong replied without expression, "I can't remember."

After dinner, in a secluded corner,

Qi Xiajing pinned Li Dong against the wall, his fingers closing around her wrist. He curved his lips in a mocking smile. "You can't remember?"

"Want me to help you remember?"

2.

Back in high school, everyone thought Qi Xiajing had dumped Li Dong.

Only Qi Xiajing knew that she was the one who let go first.

He was the one discarded like garbage.

3.

Later, the two got back together.

One day, while sorting through old belongings, Qi Xiajing found a photo from a rural trip he took after graduating middle school.

In the photo, he was surrounded by people at the center of the group, every inch the child of destiny.

Back then, Qi Xiajing had no idea that while everyone else smiled at the camera, Li Dong, standing in the farthest corner with her head turned, had eyes only for him across the crowd.

When the thick fog lifted, I loved you where no one could see.*

Though no one knew of the love buried deep inside me, time will remember that I once loved you so passionately.

Blurb:

From school uniforms to wedding dresses, Su Ying spent her entire youth devoted to Wen Size.

He was born into privilege, elegant and aristocratic, with countless admirers.

If not for an accident, the two would never have crossed paths.

Their relationship had been hard-won, so after marriage Su Ying was careful and modest in everything she did.

Even when Wen Size breezily walked out on their wedding day, leaving her to become the laughingstock of the entire city, Su Ying still made excuses for him: "He's too busy with work."

That very night, she ran into Wen Size at a bar. He had been gone all day.

The man leaned against the sofa, drinking, his expression languid. He merely raised an eyebrow when he saw Su Ying, then acted as if she weren't there.

Seeing this, his friends egged him on: "You've only been married a few days and she's already trying to run your life. Wen Size, ever thought about getting a divorce?"

"What's the rush?"

Wen Size drained his glass of red wine and smiled. "I'll think about it after I'm tired of playing with her."

At that moment, Su Ying finally saw the truth: she had wasted ten years of her unrequited love on a dog.

So three days later, she slapped the divorce papers down in front of Wen Size and walked away.

-

The news of their divorce spread like wildfire.

Everyone was certain Wen Size had finally grown tired of Su Ying.

To celebrate his return to bachelorhood, his friends prepared a surprise for him.

They arrived at the Jiang family home, only to find Wen Size cornering Su Ying against the wall. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was none of his usual cool arrogance.

Su Ying tossed the papers onto the table and said coolly, "Mr. Wen won't sign. Have you not had enough fun yet?"

After a long silence, Wen Size slowly fell to his knees before her. His voice hoarse, he begged, "Give me one more chance. Please don't divorce me."

The years are like poetry, and I once wrote you by hand on every page of my youthful verses.

*One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first. The male lead is a jerk, but has never been with another woman. Happy ending.

*The heroine grows as the story goes on. [A groveling chase, but no cremation]

*Thank you for reading.

Theme: Be honest and upright in how you treat others to win their trust
