Double stand-ins

Pure and alluring, flirtatious celebrity bottom Chi Qiu X aloof, abstinent, and scummy big-shot top Qin Yan

Qin Yan kept a beauty named Chi Qiu. He had a graceful figure and outstanding poise. Every frown and smile suited Qin Yan's tastes perfectly. Most captivating of all were his peach-blossom eyes, which made anyone who looked into them feel intoxicated.

The first time they met, Qin Yan brought him home. That night, a spotless rose bloomed only for him.

Chi Qiu stayed by his side for three years. Everyone in their circle said Qin Yan had settled down, but only Qin Yan knew that Chi Qiu was nothing more than that other person's shadow.

Later, when his white moonlight returned to the country, Chi Qiu asked him to break up. His resolve was firm, nothing like the obedient little cat he had been before.

Qin Yan only gave a mocking laugh. "Don't come crying and begging me to take you back."

Later, at a family banquet, Chi Qiu arrived on the arm of another man. The man was refined and courteous, bright as the moon, with features that resembled Qin Yan's by about fifty percent.

Friend ⊙ω⊙: So he really is that devoted. Even after breaking up, he found someone who looks like you!

Qin Yan o(≧v≦)o: He loves me so much!

Qin's father: A Yan, this is your little uncle and his boy bride. Come over and greet them.

Qin Yan: ???

On a snowy night after their breakup, Qin Yan waited outside Chi Qiu's building all night. Frost and snow gathered on his eyelashes, leaving patches of white. His eyes, usually so cold and indifferent, were now filled with helplessness.

He clung greedily to Chi Qiu, murmuring pitifully again and again, "I've grown my hair out and started wearing glasses. I look a lot like him now. Please look at me again..."

New novel in my author page: "Turning My Childhood Friend Into My Wife"

When Ji Jiuzhou was six, his father sent him back to the family home in the countryside because a fortune-teller said his zodiac sign clashed with his father's.

On a stormy day, he lost his way and fell into a hunter's trap.

The first person to find him was a pretty little child.

Ji Jiuzhou had never seen a child like him.

His curls dangled cutely over his forehead, and his bright, sparkling eyes made him look like an innocent little elf.

Only later did Ji Jiuzhou learn that the "little elf" wasn't just pretty, he was also a crybaby.

Yet the boy who had never had any patience was willing to bend down, gently wipe away his tears, and comfort him.

But that one act of comfort lasted for decades.

He comforted him until everyone knew Ji Jiuzhou had a childhood friend he treasured above all else, and no one was allowed to touch him.

Jiang Xianxia was a sickly child who needed medicine all the time. When he was six, he was sent to the Ji family and became the young master's little sidekick.

Rumor had it that Young Master Ji had a terrible temper, so Jiang Xianxia was sure to be bullied without being able to fight back.

But later, the Ji family's housekeeper was astonished to discover that the young master, who had always been spoiled and willful and looked down on everyone, would bend down and tenderly blow on Jiang Xianxia's bitter medicine to cool it, coaxing him to drink it with one "baby" after another.

The Ji family finally understood. This wasn't a little sidekick at all, but a little prince who had them all wrapped around his finger.

Ji Jiuzhou, head of the Ji Group, was handsome and distinguished, an exceptional man with countless admirers. Yet he had never been seen with a female companion or at any place of entertainment. He was the very picture of a man with no interest in sex.

Jiang Xianxia, Wushi's most authoritative surgeon, was gentle and refined, with delicate features. When he smiled, the dimples in his cheeks made people's hearts skip a beat. Sadly, he was the genuine article when it came to abstinence.

Everyone waited to see which lucky person would win the hearts of Wushi's two most sought-after men. Then, at a major academic conference, the media captured an astonishing scene:

In the empty lecture hall, the haughty and proud Mr. Ji had Jiang Doctor pinned against the conference table. He held his slender wrist and kissed him without restraint, murmuring, "Wife, I was wrong. Will you come home with me?"

Theme: Treat others with sincerity, and promote truth, goodness, and beauty.
