Ling Shu, a 996 overworked office drone, transmigrates into a book one day, landing in a story that combines every kind of Mary Sue melodrama, and gets bound to a Substitute System.
The System tells her to play the male leads' emotional plaything, their stand-in, until their beloved white moons return from abroad.
Ling Shu rolls her eyes. "Work is annoying enough already. Why the hell would I do that?"
Substitute System: [Ten thousand for each time you fill in.]
Ling Shu's attitude makes a complete 180. "A thunderclap rings across the sky, and here I come!"

On a wide road, Ling Shu rides a shared bicycle across the street in a simple white dress. One meter away from a luxury Maserati, she... collapses stiffly to the ground.
The real estate tycoon's son sees her pitiful face and carefully helps her up, looking at her as if she were someone else. "Niannian..."
Ling Shu stifles a laugh. "This really does look like a scam, though."
The Substitute System frets: [Host, don't laugh. You'll stop looking like her! The real estate tycoon's son will give his stand-in a house and a car!]
Ling Shu: "What scam?! This is the beginning of my meeting with a house and a car!"

At a film crew's location shoot, Ling Shu is dressed in a pink gown for her bit part as a passerby. She turns a corner and falls softly into the arms of a crazed movie emperor.
His eyes red, the movie emperor grabs her hand as if he has found something he lost. "A Wan!"
His grip hurts Ling Shu's hand, and she almost can't stop herself from insulting this lunatic to his face.
The Substitute System warns her: [Host, hurry up and cry. If you don't, you won't look like her! The movie emperor will invest in a film for his stand-in, and the film's pay is twenty million!]
Ling Shu: "What lunatic?! He's my sugar daddy!"

In a sprawling manor, Ling Shu stands beneath a locust tree in a pale green qipao and looks back with a smile that could charm a hundred men. "Mr. Gu..."
The domineering CEO gazes at her tenderly and pulls her into his arms. "Xiao Ru, I've missed you so much."
Ling Shu almost punches him. "Ptooey, scumbag!"
The Substitute System reminds her: [Host, hurry up and comfort him, or you won't look like her. The domineering CEO will give his stand-in one hundred million!]
Ling Shu: "What scumbag?! That's one hundred million!"
N months later, the beloved white moons finally return from abroad. Just as Ling Shu thinks she can retire with honor, she finds them all crouching outside her door, eyes red as they call out to her: "Sis."
Ling Shu: "Huh? What happened?"
The Substitute System helpfully reminds her: [Oh, right, Host, I forgot to tell you. You're also the white moons' stand-in older sister. Their families are even richer than the male leads!]
Ling Shu: "What white moons?! They're my little sisters!"
Tip: The white moons and the male leads all end up with bad endings.
