The Scam

[My new novel, The Storm Has Arrived, is complete. Visit my profile to read it~] #MaleStand-In##Over-the-TopDrama# The first time Ye Yiheng saw Lu Jiawang, she decided he was the one. Because no one in the world looked more like Rong Wen than he did. They even shared the same birthday. Winning Lu Jiawang over wasn't easy. Compared with him, she wasn't particularly pretty, just rather fresh-faced. Lu Jiawang said her only virtue was probably her persistence. Out of everyone, she'd held on the longest and put in the most effort. He fell in love and broke up, then fell in love again and broke up again. She was still waiting for him. Every time he split up with someone, she would reappear in front of him, as if she'd never been hurt. She gave him a fierce, wholehearted devotion unlike anything he'd ever experienced. And so, even Lu Jiawang, who had always thought highly of himself, had a day when his heart softened and he was moved. “I’m only with you because I feel sorry for you,” he told her on their first day together. “Okay. That’s fine.” The day the truth came out, everyone learned that the young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth had become a stand-in for a dead man. Lu Jiawang flew into the worst rage of his life, smashing everything in the room to pieces. He saw her crying in fright. But the next day, Ye Yiheng was still shamelessly following him around. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of her. Then, one day, Ye Yiheng suddenly vanished from his world, completely and utterly. He couldn't even get through to her on the phone anymore. He thought it was some ploy to make him chase after her, until one day, on an unfamiliar street, Lu Jiawang saw Ye Yiheng. She wore the same unbearably sweet smile as ever, tying a scarf around a man while he bent his head and embraced her, eyes curved in a smile. Through the heavy snowfall, Lu Jiawang finally saw the man's face. So the dead white moonlight had come back. That was why she didn't want him anymore. “So your devotion had nothing to do with me after all.” [Reader's Guide] 1. An old-school, melodramatic story with a clichéd plot and little logic.

Even when she argued with him, she spoke so gently that he couldn't get worked up. He often thought this marriage was just a matter of settling. They'd been married for three years, and aside from their physical intimacy, he knew nothing about her. Before they married, his only impression of her was from their first year of high school. She always sat in the most inconspicuous seat at the back of the classroom. When teachers called on her, all she did was blush and shake her head. He had never imagined that she would become his wife. Their marriage began absurdly and ended just as absurdly. One day, she told him she loved someone else and wanted a divorce. On the day their loveless marriage ended, he felt a sense of relief unlike anything he'd ever known. Wen Suichang had always believed that he and Cheng Yan had settled for each other in their marriage. What he didn't know was that the wife he found so dull had been so thrilled when she learned she would marry him that she stayed awake all night. He also had no idea how hard she'd worked to keep up with him from high school through college, or how much effort it had taken to stand by his side. * Cheng Yan made a playlist on NetEase Cloud Music called “Marrying Mr. W.” It held dozens of songs suited to playing at a wedding. But Wen Suichang never gave her a wedding. Many, many years later, Wen Suichang finally admitted that Cheng Yan was the only storm he'd ever weathered in his life. “Whose youthful dream is ever fulfilled and celebrated?” Theme: Sincere love is priceless.
