Who in Their Right Mind Would Be a Substitute?!

[Coming Soon: Getting Married to My Ex by Agreement]

Lu Youyu is the eldest son of the Lu family, but everyone around him only loves his younger brother. Because...

He's the universally hated substitute in a novel.

And his younger brother is the beloved white moonlight of the three male leads.

In the novel, Lu Youyu is abused physically and emotionally by the male leads, hounded by online harassment, and dies suddenly of an illness. His younger brother's career flourishes, and he gets his happy ending with the male leads.

Lu Youyu: “...” My fists are ready.

What kind of decent person would volunteer to be a substitute?

Luckily, he's not exactly a decent person.

*

When a substitute contract is placed before him...

Scumbag Male Lead No. 1: “My heart and body belong to him alone. Got it?”

Lu Youyu: “Got it. So I get paid without having to sleep with you.”

Scumbag Male Lead No. 2: “Wear his clothes and have dinner with me.”

Lu Youyu: “Thanks, but my mom called me home for dinner.”

Scumbag Male Lead No. 3: “You don't look anything like him.”

Lu Youyu: “What should I do? Maybe call the police.”

Later, Lu Youyu appears on the big screen again and again, and his endorsements are everywhere.

Younger Brother's Fans: Nepo baby! Get lost!

Lu Youyu: “Can't help it. I have too many sugar daddies. There are more endorsements than I can handle, way more.”

His younger brother sneers: “Don't be naive. They love me. You're just a low-quality substitute for me.”

Lu Youyu: “Sure, sure, you're absolutely right.”

Then Lu Youyu, having made enough money, makes a high-profile exit from showbiz, while the internet's darling younger brother... crashes and burns!

The hit song that made him famous was sung by Lu Youyu.

The fight scenes he was praised for were filmed by Lu Youyu.

Lu Youyu can sing and dance, and he's got both looks and acting chops.

[I admit I was too loud. Please come back.]

[My precious white-moonlight male lead, you're the only one who can play him.]

The love interest is not one of the scumbag male leads. The true male lead is a little shy. Find him in the story.

Outwardly aloof and abstinent, but only daring to have a secret crush, the innocent male lead × beautiful and well aware of it, flirtatious and well aware of it, carefree male lead

Coming Soon: Getting Married to My Ex by Agreement

After returning from studying abroad, Yu Xingran hears news about Gu Chenzhou at his welcome-back banquet.

“Gu Chenzhou is handsome, rich, and thriving in his career. He's got countless people chasing after him.”

“Xingran, are you still in touch?”

Yu Xingran: “Why would I be? A proper ex is as good as dead.”

The next day, Yu Xingran runs into the resurrected Gu Chenzhou at his new company.

Yu Xingran: “...”

*

The colleagues in the design department have noticed something new: Ever since Yu Xingran joined the company, Mr. Gu, who has been sexually cold for years, has been passing by their department much more often.

Yu Xingran thinks Gu Chenzhou is provoking him!

So when Gu Chenzhou invites him to get married by agreement, Yu Xingran's first thought is:

Why turn down a chance to get revenge when he's practically delivering himself to me?

He'll make Gu Chenzhou fall for him again, wait until Gu Chenzhou can't get enough, then dump him mercilessly, just like Gu Chenzhou dumped him.

Day One of the plan: Wet-shirt seduction. Check.

Day Two: Uniform seduction. Check.

*

Gu Chenzhou once dated a man who was handsome and good at acting cute, and he had the young master completely wrapped around his finger.

He'd even planned out their happy married life, but Yu Xingran left the country without a word and blocked and deleted him everywhere.

When Yu Xingran appears again, Gu Chenzhou's strongest feeling isn't anger. It's the desire to tie Yu Xingran to his side.

Friend: “Damn, don't tell me you're a hopeless romantic?”

Gu Chenzhou insists: “I'm getting revenge on him.”

Not long after, his friend asks, “How's the revenge going?”

Mr. Gu is busy picking sexy pajamas for his wife and trying out new positions: “Don't bother me. I have my own pace.”

[Two innocent, childish fools fall in love, each thinking the other dumped him. Misunderstandings and melodrama abound, and their breakup is just a little game between a couple!]

*Long-haired beauty of a male lead who loves buying pretty clothes, including skirts. His daily outfits depend on his mood: a good mood doesn't necessarily mean he'll wear a skirt, but if he wears a skirt, he's definitely in a good mood.

*Bad-tempered young master of a male lead who saves all his patience for his love. He loves playing dress-up with his wife and is always buying him pretty clothes.
