Xu Ruoyan has lived on an island for three years in peaceful comfort. The only surprise was meeting a fabulously wealthy woman who casually tossed a ten-million-yuan check at her feet.
The rich woman's real name is Xu Chenxi. She's the head of the Xu family, with a dazzling red mole beneath her eye, and countless men and women covet her.
The rich woman says, "You look like my ex. This is your down payment. Come to the hotel and keep me company tonight. Don't get any ideas. You're just a substitute, a way to pass the time when she's not around. Someone like you could never be worthy of me."
Xu Ruoyan nodded solemnly.
The rich woman is beautiful and generous with money. By day, she's decisive and ruthless, but at night, she turns soft as water in Xu Ruoyan's arms, calling her Yanyan.
Xu Ruoyan knows her sugar mommy is only using the pet name of the woman she still loves, but she falls for her all the same. Still, the rich woman is right. An ordinary person like her could never be worthy of someone like that.

Xu Chenxi has a secret: she was once Xu Ruoyan's secret lover. Three years ago, Xu Ruoyan broke up with her unilaterally. When they meet again, the once-magnificent head of the Xu family has lost her memory and become an idle woman growing flowers and plants on an island.
Xu Chenxi has a wicked idea. She wants to keep the amnesiac Xu Ruoyan confined to the island, making her her devoted lover.
She humiliates Xu Ruoyan, telling her she's not worthy of her and warning her not to get any funny ideas. Xu Ruoyan is indeed careful and cautious, and everything unfolds just as Xu Chenxi wishes. But she forgets the most important thing.
"Bonus scene"
On the first anniversary of keeping Xu Ruoyan, Xu Chenxi returns from a business trip and stands on the deck of a cruise ship, stunned by the island's thriving economy and dazzling prosperity.
Her amnesiac, penniless, quiet ex is surrounded by a crowd. The island's developers are asking her for advice, and its leaders are consulting her about their plans for the island's future. Xu Ruoyan smiles and opens her arms to Xu Chenxi. "Welcome back, Chenxi."
That night, Xu Ruoyan lifts her skirt, her voice tentative. "Chenxi, I want to be worthy of you. Can you forget her and give me a chance?"
Xu Chenxi: "..."
#How did my ex end up in the financial news again#
#Why is my canary richer than I am#
#The substitute has been jealous of herself all along#
