Can You Use a Substitute at the Crematorium?

Xin Cheng transmigrates into a melodramatic groveling romance novel, becoming the protagonist, who shares his name.

The original body had loved a scumbag for years, but the scumbag could never keep it in his pants. They broke up and got back together again and again. Just as the original body finally lost hope and decided to end things, a car accident left the scumbag in a vegetative state. The original body transformed into a selfless saint overnight, staying faithfully by his side. Two years later, the scumbag woke up, learned what had happened, and resolved to change. He began groveling to win his love back, and after numerous twists and turns, they got their happy ending.

Xin Cheng: You can tell at a glance this lovesick idiot is perfect for digging wild vegetables.

He arrived just as the scumbag was in a coma after the accident.

Xin Cheng had two choices:

1. Run away now, but get framed by the mistress and the scumbag's family and saddled with enormous debts.

2. Grit his teeth and wait two years for the scumbag to wake up, then endure his endless harassment.

Xin Cheng: Fine, fine, so that's how you want to play? I'll exploit a loophole!

The scumbag had a younger brother, Feng Zhou, who had been living away from the family and looked about eighty percent like him. Xin Cheng found him and used his money power to buy a year of Feng Zhou's time.

How many steps does it take to speedrun the groveling arc?

1. Yank the comatose scumbag out of bed and toss him in the trash.

2. Put his younger brother in his place.

3. Have the younger brother pretend to wake up as the reformed scumbag and play the devoted lapdog, kicking off the groveling arc early.

Xin Cheng smoothly used the scumbag's attempts to win him over to reclaim his possessions.

The plot was nearing its end. On the surface, the scumbag had finally won his love back. In reality, Xin Cheng was planning to milk him one last time, then vanish in style.

"Darling," Feng Zhou said, dropping to one knee and taking out a ring. "Let's get married!"

In front of other people, he was the lovesick scumbag, so Xin Cheng naturally had no reason to refuse.

The two of them went to the marriage registration office with their friends and family as witnesses. Xin Cheng thought it was all just for show, but Feng Zhou really took out an ID card

His own ID card.

Xin Cheng: ...Things were starting to go wrong.

A brush with death is the best way to reform someone's character.

The scumbag opened his eyes. There were things he hadn't cherished before, but if he tried to make amends now, it should still be in time.

"You're awake?" Someone who looked just like him suddenly appeared before him, smiling brightly. "I know what you want to do. I've already done everything you wanted to do for you."

The scumbag wanted to thank him, but something felt off.

"So, your wife is mine now. [Smile]"

Scumbag: ???
