He Was Mistaken for a Substitute [GB]

[Main story complete, bonus chapters coming your way!]

[Girl x Boy romance / old-school melodrama / gender-swapped substitute romance]

Warning: The heroine is carefree, and the hero is a hopeless romantic.

Until he was six, Yu Yun was the darling of the heavens, born with a silver spoon and everything he could want.

Then his parents divorced. His twin brother went with their CEO father, while Yu Yun left their mansion with his mother, who had been left with nothing.

Just like that, he fell from the clouds into the mud.

Later, the enormous debts his mother owed weighed on him until he could barely breathe. A phone call in the middle of the night jolted him awake.

“I can help you pay off your debts.”

The woman's voice on the other end was cool and distant.

Yu Yun went to the agreed meeting place under the moonlight, pushing his squeaky bicycle up to a luxury car.

The window rolled down, revealing the woman's striking profile.

“So, have you decided?” she asked, parting her red lips.

“Decided what?”

“To become mine.”

Yu Yun had thought that at last, the darkness in his life was giving way to the light.

But after a banquet one day, he saw the usually unflappable woman staggering toward another man.

Toward the man who looked exactly like him. Her face was tender in a way he'd never seen before.

At that moment, jealousy overwhelmed him. He was jealous of her favoritism, and jealous that his twin brother could lay claim to everything Yu Yun had ever dreamed of.

“His health has always been poor. He might need an organ transplant. Fortunately, you're twins. Could you save him?” she asked, worry written across her face.

[Beauty-loving heroine × hopelessly romantic hero]

Ji Qiu, the youngest and only daughter of the Ji family, had always been rebellious. Even at a young age, she'd done just about everything unconventional.

Hoping to settle her down, her elders took it upon themselves to arrange her engagement to the equally rakish eldest son of the Sheng family.

Freshly returned from abroad, Ji Qiu was dragged into attending her engagement party. Bristling with defiance, she waited and waited at the venue, planning to make a few sarcastic remarks to her fiance as soon as they met.

Instead, her unseen fiance ran away from the wedding. The one who rushed in to save the day was his half-brother, Sheng Xun.

*

Ji Qiu: I want to see just how ugly this replacement is.

The man who arrived had handsome features, clear, beautiful dark blue eyes, and a perfect figure with a slender waist and long legs.

Ji Qiu: Oh!

*

Sheng Xun was an illegitimate son the Sheng family kept out of sight, an undeniable stain on the family patriarch's reputation.

His childhood memories were filled with beatings from his father and insults from the servants.

Only one girl, rebellious from head to toe, paid no mind to what others thought. She came to his side and ruffled his dark golden hair. “Your eyes and hair are beautiful.”

Ji Qiu thought his reappearance was just a coincidence. Only he knew how long he had been planning it.

“I've been in love with you for a very, very long time.”

Theme: Always take love seriously.
