The blurb is below the one below~~ Chu Tingshan was in a car accident. When he woke up, he discovered he had somehow become the kept lover of his archenemy, Fu Bingming. Everyone knew the two had been rivals since childhood, each wishing they could stomp the other into the dirt and make sure he never got back up. But after being reborn, Chu Tingshan had no power or influence, and owed Fu Bingming a huge sum of money. He was nothing but a cannon-fodder lover. To keep things under control and investigate the cause of his death, Chu Tingshan had no choice but to stay by his archenemy's side and bide his time. Luckily, his archenemy was ascetic and indifferent to desire. Keeping a lover was like keeping a vase: purely for decoration. That is, until one night, when a drunk Fu Bingming suddenly barged into his bedroom. In the darkness, the man grabbed him by the jaw. "When you smile, you really look like him." "?" What the hell was he doing? As he spoke, the man pressed close and began taking off Chu Tingshan's clothes. His archenemy was making an awfully grand occasion of his resurrection ceremony, and Chu Tingshan really couldn't take it. He grabbed the man's hand. "Fu Bingming, get the hell off me." "You learned that so well. Say a few more things." The man still didn't stop. "??" "I said, get the hell off me!" "You really are like him. So much that I thought he'd come back." The archenemy pinning him down began to cry. One tear after another fell on Chu Tingshan's neck. "??!" His lifelong goal had been to make Fu Bingming cry. Now he had finally seen it. But he was completely baffled. . His archenemy told him eight hundred times a day that he really looked like that person. Only gradually did Chu Tingshan realize that he was also playing the role of a stand-in. He wondered what kind of extraordinary person could possibly have captured Fu Bingming's heart. Then he looked in the mirror and thought, Holy crap, that extraordinary person is me??? The kept lover's eyes and brows looked at least seventy percent like his own. So he was both Wanwan and Qing? Later, Fu Bingming took him to cry at his own grave. Chu Tingshan just thought it was pretty funny to visit his own grave. "You don't happen to like him, do you?" "I don't like him! Who would like him? He's mean and fake..." "Wipe your nose before you talk..." "I didn't! Say that again and I'll dock your pay." "I'll shut up." . Everyone knew that Boss Fu was iron-fisted and decisive, and that he and Young Master Chu were like fire and water. But only Fu himself knew how soft-hearted he was, and how hard it was to resist his feelings for Chu. . "Chu Tingshan, did you die just to admit defeat to me?" His fingers traced Chu Tingshan's face in their high school graduation photo. It was the only picture of the two of them together. . Chu Tingshan, can you please not die? I give up. Content notes: Fu never slept with the stand-in, and he never liked him! The reason he found a stand-in is explained later! Same-sex marriage is legal in this setting. The love interest's mental state is very unstable at first. Its condition later on remains to be seen. A crybaby love interest! He really cries a lot! Everyone's mental state is a little unstable. . Coming soon: Pretty Wife, Hurry and Hook Me, a peak battle of a scheming couple Wild professor x flirtatious calligrapher They say Shen Yan went to great lengths to win the heart of the gorgeous Wen Yan. Everyone thought the playboy had finally settled down. They never expected Shen Yan, with a beauty already in his arms, to start frequenting places of pleasure again. At a dinner, someone teased him, "Teacher Wen became famous young and is so talented. What, even a genius calligrapher isn't enough to keep you interested?" Shen Yan didn't even look up. "He's a block of wood, dull and boring. I got tired of him ages ago." Wen Yan was indeed famous in their circles for his good looks, and just as famous for being stiff and proper. Wen Yan saw how brazen Shen Yan was. "I want to get married." "Don't be silly. Aren't things fine the way they are?" * The next day, news of Wen Yan's engagement spread across the city. The groom wasn't Shen Yan. It was Shen Yan's archenemy, Ji Zhiyuan. * Ji Zhiyuan was aloof, arrogant, and cold-hearted. Even though he was handsome and rich, no one dared approach him casually. On a rainy night, Wen Yan knocked on Ji Zhiyuan's door, his eyes red. "Do you want to make Shen Yan lose face?" Aloof Ji Zhiyuan: "Of course." Wen Yan: "Then marry me." Cold-hearted Ji Zhiyuan: "Okay." That... was far too quick. Wen Yan hadn't even managed to squeeze out a tear yet. * Only belatedly did Shen Yan realize that Wen Yan had said he wanted to get married, but had never said he wanted Shen Yan to marry him. He had never imagined he could lose so spectacularly one day. Just as Wen Yan had never imagined that he'd get what he wanted so easily. From beginning to end, all Wen Yan wanted was Ji Zhiyuan. After the wedding, Wen Yan was wondering how he should win Ji Zhiyuan over. Ji Zhiyuan: Come cuddle, wife. Wen Yan: ? He told everyone, whether they wanted to hear it or not, "How did you know I'm married? That's right, I'm married to Teacher Wen." Wen Yan: ?? * "You didn't marry me just to get revenge on Shen Yan, did you?" "There's only one reason I'd get married." "What is it?" "My spouse is Teacher Wen." * Ji Zhiyuan had been secretly in love with Wen Yan for years, and had waited eagerly for Wen Yan to finally lure him in. * After realizing he was the one who'd been played, Wen Yan couldn't be bothered to keep up his refined, proper persona. He clung to the man's waist and acted coy. "You're done pretending?" "I'm done. Let's be honest with each other." That night, the sofa fell apart. Wen Yan: "Maybe you should pretend again after all?" Ji Zhiyuan: "No more pretending." [Bonus Scene] "You still don't know how to smoke this thing, do you?" Behind a beaded curtain, the man smiled faintly. He raised the pipe to his lips and exhaled a puff of white smoke. Outside the blue-green beaded curtain, Wen Yan stood tall and straight. He slowly approached the man, reached out, and took the cigarette from between his fingers. With a smooth motion, he pinched the cigarette, brought it to his own lips, then leaned forward and parted his red lips, blowing smoke toward the man's handsome, dignified face. A teasing look entered Wen Yan's eyes as he stared intently at the man. He said nothing, only pressed the still-smoking cigarette out in the glass ashtray. The man suddenly stretched his neck and leaned close to Wen Yan. "Your calligraphy really is beautiful." "The writing is beautiful, but the person isn't?" Wen Yan didn't move away. The man raised his eyes. His gaze could hardly be called innocent. "Teacher Wen, a person's writing reflects the person." Note: Shen Yan is a scummy supporting character, extremely scummy. He is not the love interest. He's a playboy who realizes things too late. Wen Yan never liked Shen Yan, and the two never had a physical relationship. This is a story written with total creative freedom. I'll post it once I have a stockpile of chapters~~ My friend's book: The Scum Ex Regrets It After the Divorce, by Sheng Mian. If you love regret-chasing stories, you'll love this! Bai Sinian had always had things go his way. He was raised to be innocent and sweet, and always assumed the best of people. On the day he decided to divorce, Bai Sinian still felt some attachment to the marriage, even though Qi Minxing treated him as nothing more than a pawn. He planned to part on good terms and start a new life. After seeing the divorce agreement, Qi Minxing apologized and suggested one last trip together as compensation. They went to an uninhabited island. On the first day, Bai Sinian asked, "Why is there no signal here?" Qi Minxing said the island hadn't been fully developed yet. On the second day, Bai Sinian looked at the seaside cottage, fully furnished with everything they needed. "Didn't you say it hadn't been developed yet?" On the seventh day, the day they were due to return, Bai Sinian took out the divorce papers again. "Sign them, and then we can go." Qi Minxing leaned back on the sofa and tore the divorce agreement in half. Calmly, he said, "Niannian, you aren't going anywhere." Theme: Be brave and pursue love.
