The Stand-In's Good Life

Gu Dixian transmigrates and becomes the male lead's mistress, kept outside his home. Because he looks like the male lead's first love, he's kept around like a vase. The first love is gentle and refined, serene and lovely, with a voice like an orchid blooming in a secluded valley. So, as her stand-in, he has to smile without showing his teeth, walk with a willowy grace, and speak as little as possible. All he has to do is play the vase in front of the male lead and quietly let him reminisce about his first love. In the novel, the stand-in is discontented. He gets the money but still wants the male lead's heart, and even makes a move against the first love. The furious male lead kills him with a single stroke. In the end, the wicked stand-in gets what he deserves, and the male lead finally gets together with his first love. Gu Dixian thinks this job is worth taking. He can get paid just for not smiling or talking. What could be better? So he quietly puts away the jewelry and accessories the male lead gives him, waiting for the right chance to run. What he imagines: Gu Dixian vows to be a good, obedient stand-in for the first love. When she comes back, he'll return the male lead to her exactly as he was. What actually happens: Gu Dixian is having a blast in the male lead's "harem." Every day is wonderful. Today he goes to one concubine's courtyard to listen to music, tomorrow he watches a sword dance somewhere else, the day after that he drops by for a meal, and sometimes he even stays the night... Later: Gu Dixian: I thought of you all as siblings, and you actually want to sleep with me? The first love is back, so I'd better run... Male lead: We have a child now. Don't even think about running, or I'll break your son's legs. Later still: Gu Dixian: I like people who are gentle and refined, serene and lovely, with nice voices. It's fine if they don't talk... The male lead pushes their wailing son out of the room and smiles faintly. "Isn't that exactly me?" A refined scoundrel, selfish and shameless, with a strong-willed bottom x A gorgeous, delicate, soft-bodied top who's easy to push over Content warnings: There will be a child. The two will ultimately fall for each other. Early on, Cui's feelings for Gu are overwhelmingly intense. Note left on 2021.12.11 Upcoming novel: My Older Brother Is the Big Brother of the Real and Fake Young Masters Lu Yuan transmigrates into the novel A Life Out of Place and becomes the older brother of the real and fake young masters. In the original novel, the real young master resents the fake young master for stealing his life, while the fake young master hates the real one for taking everything from him. The two already despise each other, and when they fall for the same man, the conflict intensifies. They scheme against each other and set traps... The novel ends in tragedy, with neither of them getting a happy ending. The fake young master is crippled because of the real one, and the real young master is left in a vegetative state after the fake one makes his move. Lu Yuan says this novel has to be completely made up. His sweet, innocent, kind little brother wouldn't even kill a fish, so there's no way he could hurt anyone. He doesn't believe it for a second. To keep the novel's tragedy from happening and give them both a happy ending, he decides to do his best to maintain their relationship. But it seems he doesn't need to do anything. They appear to get along just fine. He's even seen them walking arm in arm to the restroom together. Lu Yuan lets out a sigh of relief. Just as he thought, the novel is fake. But he doesn't see the rivalry simmering beneath the surface. The fake young master kisses him while he's asleep, his gaze frenzied and possessive. "I can give him anything, except my older brother." The real young master deliberately injures his leg so he can sit on the back of Lu Yuan's bike, then mouths to the fake young master: "He's my older brother..." Lu Yuan pedals as fast as he can. Both his little brothers are so well-behaved. Life is wonderful. P.S. Lu Yuan is adopted, so he isn't related to the two younger brothers by blood. Theme: Even when life is hard, live it with care
