Double stand-in romance | Sharp-tongued, scheming female doctor x straightforward, loyal puppy-like male star
Chen Song first met Qiao Yiting at the hospital. His gaze swept past the crowded people in the corridor, and he spotted her at once.
"Hello, I'm your attending physician, Qiao Yiting."
Qiao Yiting looked a lot like someone.
Chen Song felt as if he'd been bewitched. He knew Qiao Yiting wasn't her, but he couldn't stop looking at her, seeing someone else through that familiar face.
Chen Song was an actor, and he was well practiced at acting in love with a complete stranger. Flowers and gifts, caring messages, romantic surprises, vows of eternal love: before long, he had won Qiao Yiting over.
Qiao Yiting was a promising young medical doctor, the youngest attending physician at the hospital, while Chen Song was just an unknown actor. Sometimes he felt pathetic. It was only because he couldn't let go of his resentment that their otherwise unrelated lives had crossed paths.
They dated like an ordinary couple, holding hands, hugging, and kissing. But whenever passion clouded his mind, Chen Song would gaze at that familiar face and lose himself, unsure what time or place he was in.
On Qiao Yiting's birthday, Chen Song went to her home early to surprise her, but accidentally knocked over a picture frame on the table. Two photos fell out of the broken frame. One, slightly yellowed with age, had been tucked behind a photo of him and Qiao Yiting. In it, Qiao Yiting was smiling brightly, and the young man beside her wasn't him.
In the end, those who deceive others are deceived themselves.
"So you got together with me because I look like your ex-boyfriend?"
Facing Chen Song's accusation, Qiao Yiting expressionlessly scooped up a bite of cake. "You already know the answer."
Chen Song grabbed her wrist and said, unwilling to accept it, "You're not being fair to me!"
"Not fair?" Qiao Yiting raised her head, a trace of mockery in her eyes. "Chen Song, weren't you with me because I look like your ex-girlfriend? This is perfectly fair!"
She set her bait with ulterior motives, and he jumped in with a guilty conscience.
