The safe word between Xie Ju and Wang Xun

is another person’s name.

"Qin Lie."

·

Another summer arrived, and Qin Lie became a newly crowned Best Actor, with tens of millions of fans and a brilliant career.

For the shoot, the production crew hired a stand-in named Xie Ju.

Not only did Xie Ju have the same build as Qin Lie, he had even mastered Qin Lie’s unconscious gestures and reactions. Their scenes were so flawless that professional paparazzi mistook him for Qin Lie several times. When Qin Lie was injured during filming, Xie Ju inexplicably had the same injury the next day.

"Just a coincidence," Xie Ju explained, eyes lowered.

But there was still something strangely familiar and unfamiliar about him that unsettled Qin Lie.

Until one day, by accident, Xie Ju called out Qin Lie’s name.

"Xie Ju, you don’t have to imitate me." Qin Lie leaned in to block his way, staring at him intently. "Did something happen between us before? Is that it?"

But later, when Xie Ju locked him in the basement of a villa, Qin Lie stopped asking that question.

Maybe the actual story is more interesting than the blurb (ship them)
