Daisy, a former paladin captain, unexpectedly transmigrates into the heroine of "Stand-In Lover: The Cold CEO Won't Let Go".
Before her lies an unsigned stand-in contract. Outside, the rain is pouring even harder than it did the day Yiping went to ask for money.
Daisy looks up at her shabby little room, where water streams through the roof like a curtain, then down at her own frail, pale self, weakened by the loss of her soul power. Without hesitation, she picks up the contract, slings a small bag over her shoulder, and rings the doorbell of the domineering CEO's home.
"Have you signed the contract?" the male lead asks hoarsely, his expression dark, clutching a photograph of his beloved.
Daisy doesn't answer. She smiles gently. "I heard your family passed away many years ago?"
The male lead's expression turns cold. "They did, but that's none of your business. You shouldn't ask about..."
"That's wonderful!" Daisy's eyes light up. She lovingly takes his hand. "Hey, would you be interested in finding a stand-in for your ancestors?"
The male lead: "?"
☆
At first, Zhuo Hengyi is furious at Daisy's request and refuses outright. That is, until a voice suddenly sounds beside his ear:
[Ding! The world's barrier has been damaged by an SSS-level soul invasion. The world is now entering open upgrade mode...]
[Ding! Upgrade complete. The world of the book has become a real world, and the protagonist's halo has been revoked. One last earnest reminder: You may have lost the protagonist's destiny, but you still have the protagonist's illness. Brother, cherish every moment you're alive. 886]
The voice vanishes. The next day, the world changes drastically. Spiritual qi revival begins, and demons and ghosts run rampant.
The protagonist's former fortune has become a coveted prize, like Tang Sanzang's flesh. CEO Zhuo Hengyi is cowering under his desk, surrounded by layer upon layer of monsters and demons. Trembling, he pulls out his phone, makes a call, and yells into it:
"Hello! Ancestor, are you still there? Your good grandson is about to die!"
#A stand-in for your beloved? Brother, you're thinking too small#
#Good grandson, let's broaden our horizons#
#Money doesn't matter. I mainly want to give us a deep and meaningful grandparent-grandchild bond#
#It's not that the CEO is afraid of dying. He simply yearns for love from an elder :)#
*Set in a world undergoing spiritual qi revival. The male lead of the original story is not the male lead of this novel.
*The core premise is unchanged. The blurb is still being polished.
Theme: Respect others and respect yourself.
