The Perfect Substitute

[Double stand-ins, a regretful pursuit, wealthy families + showbiz]

[Chapters are written in advance, so read with confidence]

The day Lin Yijing became Xu Jue's lover, Xu Jue came to his rescue, backlit like a hero, saving him from misery.

They signed an agreement. They kissed, embraced, and made love, becoming the people closest to each other, yet the one thing they never shared was love.

Lin Yijing silently endured Xu Jue's every cruel act, obeying him and making allowances for him, just to enjoy those fleeting moments of warmth while lost in the illusion.

Xu Jue reminded Lin Yijing countless times to remember his place, and Lin Yijing never forgot.

Five years later, Xu Jue's white moonlight returned. Lin Yijing, who had always been mindful of his place, chose to leave.

But the moment he was gone, Xu Jue went mad.

-

Everyone knew Xu Jue had a white moonlight whom he cherished above all else.

For that person, he defied his father and became a powerful figure in Jiang City while still young.

Over the years, rumors about him kept flying. President Xu neither denied nor responded to them. People loved to gossip, but no one took the rumors seriously. Lin Yijing was just a stand-in, after all.

That is, until the internet revealed that Xu Jue and an acclaimed actor had gotten into a huge fight over Lin Yijing, an obscure actor.

That same day, President Xu and Lin Yijing posted responses on Weibo almost simultaneously.

ROSE.R Xu Jue: "Lin Yijing and I have been together for five years."

Lin Yijing: "President Xu and Teacher Zhang are both my friends. Don't spread rumors, and don't believe them."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Netizens: Well, yes, but President Xu is the one who started this "rumor."

-

Xu Jue couldn't believe that Lin Yijing, who couldn't sleep without him, would really leave.

Lin Yijing hadn't touched a single cent of the money Xu Jue had given him. Looking into it led Xu Jue to uncover an old secret.

Only when he saw that the other man had a mole in the same place as his own, and remembered all those nights when Lin Yijing held him and stroked that mole, and the cufflinks worth millions that Lin Yijing had given him, did he finally understand.

He, Xu Jue, had been someone else's stand-in all along.

1. Both are each other's only one, but they're both stand-ins.

2. The bottom is put through the wringer a little in the first half.

3. A huge serving of old-school melodrama.

I just couldn't find inspiration for my previous pre-release project. If I come up with something, I'll open it again. Thank you, everyone.

I'm going to write this after finishing the current project. Please add it to your favorites!

My Husband Ran Away! [Quick Transmigration]

Also known as: My Husband, Who Always Wants to Prove Himself, Can't Perform Anymore

Tang Linwei has been troubled lately: his husband can't perform in bed anymore.

The necessary functions are all still there, but he always finishes too quickly.

Tang Linwei suggested he go to the book repository and find some emotionally rich books to learn from.

Who knew his husband, who always wanted to prove himself, would take a whole reading list and transmigrate into the books?

Tang Linwei couldn't stand for that. How could he let his husband get all lovey-dovey with other men?

So without a word, he set off on a journey to wake his husband up.

Sui Yi was also at a loss. He and Tang Linwei had finally gotten some time off together.

But Tang Linwei only cared about work.

Sui Yi felt sorry for Tang Linwei and held back in bed in every way. Who knew Tang Linwei would say he couldn't perform and tell him to go study?

Had that man forgotten all those nights when he begged for mercy?

Sui Yi knew this couldn't go on, so he set up a scheme to get Tang Linwei to transmigrate into a book, all so he could give him a long vacation.

The big boss, Sui Yi, gave everyone a strange order: trick the other leader, his wife Tang Linwei.

And so the two leaders of the System Bureau transmigrated into books together.

The transmigration department's workers: "It's just a little trick between a couple."
