The Stand-In Just Wants to Retire

X transmigrated into a scum gong and pathetic shou novel, becoming the substitute canary kept by the scum gong.

The canary had no sense of propriety at all, spending every day plotting to get rid of the white moonlight and take his place. His acting was terrible, yet he still dreamed of making it big in the entertainment industry.

X, whose eyes lit up at the sight of a pay slip: !!!

If I save 300,000 a month, then after just one year, the interest from a fixed deposit will give me a monthly income of over 10,000!

X worked hard to improve himself, pleased his sugar daddy, secured resources, made money like crazy, and lived frugally.

He took any terrible acting job he could find. Then, against all odds, he became famous thanks to a low-budget web drama and rode the show's success onto a variety program.

He didn't want to go dig mud in the countryside, but the production team was paying way too much!

His acting was subpar, but X had a good personality and high emotional intelligence. He became a breakout star again by playing a gentle second male lead.

Just as he was calculating in his little notebook how many banks he should use and how to split up his large certificates of deposit so he could keep collecting his "pension" sustainably, his sugar daddy, whom he'd been ignoring for three whole months, suddenly showed up on the variety show set.

Cornered on the kang bed with nowhere to run, X trembled in fear at the man's sinister aura.

"You used me and then ran? And that devoted second male lead act, was that how you tricked me all along?"

X was close to tears. He cautiously tested the waters: "Wasn't I supposed to make room for your white moonlight?"

The man's cold laugh sent a chill down his spine.

The most popular guest on the variety show suddenly quit.

At the same time, X, who hadn't managed to escape from the bed, was dragged back by the ankle.

A broad hand roamed over his neck. A slight movement of the fingers could choke him to death.

Those bloodshot eyes were wild, yet filled with lingering devotion.

Deep and shallow bite marks were left on the rim of his ear. Suddenly, something cool touched his hand, and a round ring slid onto his ring finger.

"Be good. Don't think about running away again."

"If you don't want to work, I can support you for the rest of your life."
