The Moonlight Substitute Awakens

Chu Zhiyu was filled with joy, just about to propose to Pei Xizhou, when she suddenly saw floating comments appear out of nowhere:

[Girl, wake up! That scumbag's one true love is back from overseas! You're just a substitute, okay?!]

Before Pei Xizhou could send a breakup text, Chu Zhiyu blocked him first.

Shen Nanzhi was born a darling of heaven. Everyone revolved around her, and she could get anyone's love without lifting a finger.

She didn't take Pei Xizhou's nouveau riche girlfriend seriously at all.

She was nothing but Shen Nanzhi's substitute.

Before long, the nouveau riche girl became an internationally acclaimed beauty-industry leader. The young ladies in her circle and the wealthy wives all praised her, while the reputation of Shen Nanzhi's beauty brand plummeted, and everyone turned against it.

After his wedding, Pei Xizhou drank himself into a stupor and hugged her with red eyes. "Zhiyu, I regret it."

Shen Nanzhi panicked.

Ever since the love-struck member of the family woke up, everyone in the Chu family thought she was terrifyingly capable.

Not only did she spot the fake antiques at her father's auction house and save the family business's reputation, she also helped her big brother find overlooked treasures, advancing research on a top-tier scientific breakthrough that went on to win an international award and bring honor to the country.

The old-fashioned, male-favoring Mr. Chu treated her like a treasure, showing off his granddaughter wherever he went and declaring that ten grandsons together couldn't compare to Zhiyu.

Her father and big brother called her their precious daughter and little sister, afraid she'd break if they held her in their palms or melt if they kept her in their mouths.

Even her twin younger brother, who had never liked her, clung to her desperately, saying "my big sister" at every turn.

The rich young masters and ladies were compared by their families every day to someone else's granddaughter, daughter, younger sister, or big sister. Forced to work harder, they despaired of life.

The whole circle was swept up in a fierce competition to outdo one another.

One day, Mr. Shen saw a face on television that looked more like his family than Shen Nanzhi did, and immediately lost his composure.

"Wait, is there any chance this is actually my granddaughter?!"
