Professional Stand-In, Amateur Daydreamer

Qu Miao is an extra in the entertainment industry.

With no connections or resources, all he can do is work diligently as a stunt double and hand double for major stars...

On his nineteenth birthday, he fell into depravity.

He accepted the little card from a big boss.

And went to a hotel.

Qu Miao: I'm going to become a celebrity with connections too! (rubs hands excitedly)

Who knew the big boss would toss him a school uniform?

"Put it on. Let me see."

Qu Miao looked at the uniform, then at the big boss, who was so cool and stern.

So you have that kind of hobby, huh?

--

Qu Miao noticed that the big boss always looked at him with a complicated mix of love and hate.

Qu Miao: There's gossip here.

He also noticed that the big boss liked making him do problems, then gazing at him with a wistful look.

Qu Miao: That's some serious gossip.

Usually, when someone asks for nothing in return and only looks but never touches... it's because you're a stand-in! A stand-in for the one they loved most!

--

The day Qu Miao learned to solve one problem in several ways, and several problems in one way, the big boss took him home.

Qu Miao: Here it comes, here it comes.

Then he heard the big boss introduce him: "Dad, I found my younger brother."

Qu Miao: ...Is this wealthy-family drama even my business?

--

Before Shen Qiuchao died, he looked back on his life and realized that only his illegitimate son and his scumbag father had ever gotten the better of him.

Even though he got his revenge later, he was still furious.

Reborn at twenty-seven, he decided to have some fun at those people's expense.

Everything was going well, except that the young actor he'd hired to play his fake younger brother was acting strangely.

Qu Miao always looked at him like he didn't know what to make of him, and kept showing him tender, pitying concern.

He was practically a benevolent old man.

Qu Miao: Everyone has a duty to care for the mentally ill.

A comedic entertainment-industry story

There's a bit of a story-within-a-story, but it's all there to move the romance forward

Coming soon: Back to My Ex-Husband's Teenage Years

Shen Bai and Qin Lin met through a matchmaking setup.

During their meeting, Qin Lin described himself as even-tempered, refined, decent-looking, rich, gentle, and devoted.

Shen Bai: I guess he could work.

So Shen Bai accepted him.

After they got married, he learned over countless days and nights to forget all that matchmaking nonsense. That bastard had just been lying. And so began five years of him running away while Qin Lin chased him, leaving him virtually no chance at a peaceful life.

Then--

Shen Bai was reborn, back at seventeen, when he ruled the school.

--

He would stay far away from Qin Lin, and he wouldn't go to H City either. He'd spend this life rotting away in his hometown.

Looking at his father, who was still alive, he cried tears of joy. "Dad, I'll be your precious daddy's boy for life."

Looking at his old friend, full of youthful vigor, he laughed and cried at the same time.

"My good buddy, let's cuddle."

Facing his strict and responsible teacher, he made up his mind:

"If I don't study today, I'll be a caged bird tomorrow."

Everyone else: Have you finally been driven crazy by math?

Then a month later, a new neighbor moved in downstairs.

First, he was from H City.

Second, his surname was Qin.

Third, he was Qin Lin!

Shen Bai: Help!!!

The man who used to deliberately bite his lip until it bled and obsessively claim every part of him was now--

a pure-hearted teenage boy worrying about his grades.

Well, well, isn't this President Qin? You weren't like this a few days ago!

#While the bastard's still a puppy, of course you have to bully him mercilessly#
