The Sickly Beauty I Was Forced to Raise Was Replaced at Every Turn

Everyone says Professor Gu got into that white-plated car and climbed the ranks to the upper echelons of the Federation military overnight. Tsk, tsk, tsk... But in truth, the first time Yan Xingzhou laid eyes on Gu Ting, he decided he would abduct him and keep him at home. Those who have met Gu Ting also say that his face is so beautiful no one could possibly resist him. But Yan Xingzhou claims Gu Ting is nothing more than a plaything. So the whole world feels sorry for Gu Ting. The gong's older brother: I've had a crush on Tingting all these years. The gong's rival: Professor Gu, here's my contact info. Come find me anytime you want to leave. The gong's classmate: Are you saying you forcibly took the prized jewel of my alma mater? Either I call the police, or you book an appointment with a psychiatrist. The gong's good friends, A, B, C, D...: Sister-in-law, we feel for you! Please look our way! But no one knows that Gu Ting only treats Second Young Master Yan as a substitute. He has severe face blindness and has never been able to tell what the man looks like. The gong's good friend: Sister-in-law, um... I can tie my own tie. Your husband is right there. Gu Ting stops and looks at the man beside him, whose face is dark with displeasure... He's mistaken someone else again. Gu Ting continues: Never mind. I'm halfway done. Yan Xingzhou: ??? ~Mistaking your husband for someone else is an everyday occurrence when you're face-blind. Anyone will do as a substitute, so just put up with it. When Second Young Master Yan finally learns the truth: So I'm a substitute... Wait, you can treat a substitute this casually?! (shattered) Fifteen years ago, the sudden deaths of a pair of scientists left the whole world mourning. Their two children also vanished without a trace. In the present day, a string of murders targeting officials and wealthy businessmen has the Federation's upper ranks on edge. The killer's methods are professional, ruthless, and even incomprehensible. Yan Xingzhou, who oversees the interstellar frontier, returns to City A with special authority to investigate, only to discover that all the clues point to his own delicate, aloof little lover, who gets winded after walking three steps. An aloof beauty of a shou who occasionally offers a little sweetness because he's out of options x a high-ranking gong who often acts like a monster and gets stabbed for it [Content warnings] 1.
