[The main story is complete, with a happy ending. A new secret-marriage story is open for follows, and its first chapter is available in my author page.]
Blurb
Xie Han is an ordinary person.
If you don't count the awful things that happened to him in his final year of high school, his life is pretty much like everyone else's.
One day, the rarely used account Xie Han had on Weibo was swarmed by fans of a celebrity, Fang Jing.
Netizens asked him, "Why does your account have a famous photo of a celebrity at seventeen? Is that him or you?"
The fans couldn't find anything about him.
No one would ever know that this entertainment-world scandal wasn't about a celebrity whose photo had been stolen. It was about Xie Han, whose face, the face of someone's first love, had been stolen.
Because his secret was just like the "moonlight" in that TV drama, the original and genuine version.
"You idiot, my proper name is Samoyed, not one of those white foxes you're looking for."
The severely twisted person who had pursued him in high school without success had found a body double, then made the double, Fang Jing, get plastic surgery to look like him before debuting.
Soon, a dating show featuring ordinary people from various industries alongside celebrities, The Love Factor Equation, arrived.
Fang Jing would be participating, and by coincidence, Xie Han became one of the male leads. Two faces with an uncanny resemblance were about to meet head-on.
As the first and second episodes were filmed and aired simultaneously, before all the guests' real faces and careers had been revealed, a major talking point had already caught everyone's attention, even before Fang Jing...
First, since they weren't allowed to show their faces at the beginning of the show, Xie Han used a VR device to choose a Samoyed as his face-replacement avatar.
While the other male leads showed off their looks and flirted with each other,
a white dog stood off to the side, daydreaming.
The viewers were stunned. "Why is there a lost Samoyed here? Am I really watching a dating show?"
The camera changed scenes. He went outside to walk off his meal.
In the middle of the night,
the Samoyed casually wandered through the village. Every dog in the village went wild, all barking along with their fellow dog.
The stunned male leads asked, "Samoyed, what are you even here for? Did you really come on a dating show to find love?"
Filming for the next episode began. The celebrity commentators were staring at the Samoyed mask on Xie Han's head when the production team interviewed him. "Coconut, everyone's gradually revealed their masks on date day. Is there anyone you like yet?"
The Samoyed said, "Not a single one. If all else fails, I'll just keep this on my face until filming ends."
["I honestly almost started thinking this was his real body. This isn't a pet matchmaking show, is it?"] - A well-known commentator.
The production team asked, "Samoyed, how do you respond to the 'negative' comments? Can you still eat at home?"
The Samoyed said, "I'm waiting to be eliminated. My job and my dog are waiting for me at home."
["A puppy with such a negative attitude won't find a partner."] - Another industry insider.
The production team asked, "Our dating show doesn't have eliminations. Why do you look like you want to leave so badly?"
Xie Han touched his face under the mask and casually joked, "I thought a show where a dozen men fight among themselves would be called Brainiest or I'm a Special Forces Soldier. I didn't expect to be here dating like we're in a Korean drama."
The guests all burst out laughing. "Did this Samoyed graduate from Tsinghua or Peking University, or serve his country? Why is he so blunt? If you're not an even more stunning beauty than Fang Jing, the audience won't buy this 'shark' persona."
But the face-slapping came fast. When Xie Han's real face was revealed on the dating show, the whole country went wild for the Samoyed.
Meanwhile, the replacement male guest had already made up his mind.
"Me? I like that little dog. Yes, I mean I'm prepared to want no one but him."

Theme: Never forget your original aspirations
[Xiao Pandi welcomes updates and pinned to the top] ① Daily update contestants who like to make jokes, don't delete anything in the comment area, both bricks and memes are welcome√ ② The protagonist Xie Han's true occupation is not mentioned in the copywriting, which is a deliberate suspense. This is because ordinary romance shows will also hide the true occupations of all the guests in the early stages, and other supporting characters often make a lot of jokes due to poor information. This is a hidden joke. ③CP is Lou Xi.
What's wrong with finding true love for your stepmother? Tony was just rescuing Lace who was PUAd by a philandering old man XD
