Part-Time Stand-In

[Next up: Falling for My Older Brother Is Obviously His Fault]

01

Qin Guanyu had a "moonlight" crush. After being a fan for three years, he still had nothing to show for it.

Then one day, he met a gorgeous man whose features were strikingly similar to his "moonlight."

On impulse, Qin Guanyu steeled himself and handed him a "Stand-In Agreement."

The gorgeous man: "Sure, but I have a main job. Being your stand-in can only be a side gig."

Qin Guanyu: "..."

The gorgeous man: "Sign if you want. If you don't, forget it."

Qin Guanyu: "I'll sign, I'll sign!"

02

Shen Qian Ci fell in love at first sight with the young Mr. Qin of Qin Group. Before he could even cast his line, his "fish" suddenly leapt right into his arms.

It was Shen Qian Ci's first time playing a stand-in. He arrived at Qin Guanyu's home on time and found that the young Mr. Qin had downloaded a gigabyte of stand-in romance novels and was studying them earnestly.

When Qin Guanyu saw him arrive, he transformed in a second from "a clueless puppy" into "a cold-hearted CEO" and ordered him around:

"Come over and give me a massage."

Shen Qian Ci: "Would your moonlight do something like that for you?"

Qin Guanyu: "No."

Shen Qian Ci: "If I do that, I won't be like him. So how can I be your stand-in?"

Qin Guanyu: "..."

Shen Qian Ci: "What would you do for your moonlight?"

Qin Guanyu: "He's too busy. I've never had the chance to do anything for him."

Shen Qian Ci: "Now you have me as your stand-in. You can do all the things you've wanted to do but never had the chance to. I've worked all day and I'm exhausted. Come over and give me a massage."

03

One noon, Qin Guanyu was dozing in his chair when he suddenly felt Shen Qian Ci lean in to kiss him.

Qin Guanyu's heart pounded like a drum, and he could barely stop himself from puckering his lips.

Just as their lips were about to meet, his "moonlight" suddenly burst in.

Shen Qian Ci immediately turned and left.

Qin Guanyu: ??? Where's my kiss??? I didn't get kissed!!!

Three days later, Qin Guanyu was still waiting for Shen Qian Ci to make up for that kiss.

A week later, still nothing.

A month later, Qin Guanyu went to Shen Qian Ci's school and waited for him. "Where's my kiss?"

Shen Qian Ci: "What kiss?"

Qin Guanyu: "Weren't you about to kiss me that day?"

Shen Qian Ci: "That never happened. Don't make things up."

Qin Guanyu paced anxiously in front of him. "It did! Hurry up and make it up to me!"

04

As the Stand-In Agreement neared its expiration date, Qin Guanyu suddenly learned that Shen Qian Ci was going on a blind date.

Qin Guanyu: On high alert.jpg

That night, Qin Guanyu climbed under the covers and hugged him. "Are you really going on a blind date?"

Shen Qian Ci: "Yeah. Our contract is almost up, and it's time I thought about my future. If we get along, we'll date for a while, and if things go well, we can get married."

Qin Guanyu: "Get married??!!"

The next day, Shen Qian Ci returned from his blind date to find that the young Mr. Qin had nearly torn the house apart, and was now curled up in the corner of the sofa, pretending to feel sorry for himself.

● A CEO with an unusual thought process and a jealous streak × a charming beauty who plays the long game

● Both are sexually inexperienced, sweet happy ending. The entertainment industry will feature a little in the middle and later parts.

● The male lead and his "moonlight" have no history together. They've never even spoken. There's also a misunderstanding about the "moonlight," which will be revealed later.

● There will be no melodramatic entanglements between the male lead, the love interest, and the "moonlight." Their stories will all be told later.

● This may not suit readers who are extremely particular about character exclusivity. If you're not enjoying the story, please feel free to drop it. Wishing you all happiness every day!

Coming soon: Falling for My Older Brother Is Obviously His Fault. Rolling around and begging for follows~

[Love interest's perspective]

Until I was seventeen, I was the youngest son of the wealthy Lu family, living in luxury, with an older brother who spoiled me rotten.

But a paternity test revealed that I was only a fake young master.

When the real young master was found, my parents in the Lu family kicked me out.

Panicking and at a loss, I secretly called my older brother, who was working abroad, and tearfully asked if he could come back.

But he told me, "Stop making a fuss," then hung up.

After that, I had no choice but to fend for myself, experiencing every kindness and cruelty the world had to offer.

Whenever I could barely go on, I desperately missed the days when my brother protected me.

But I could never go back.

[Male lead's perspective]

To outsiders, Lu Zheng is the eldest son of the Lu family, taking power at a young age and living a life of boundless glory.

But no one knows that he fought his way to the top solely to find one person.

The person he had cherished and protected for seventeen years vanished without a trace after making one phone call.

He searched like a madman for five years.

That phone call was the last time Jiang Yu called him "big brother."

And hanging up became the thing Lu Zheng regretted most in his life.
