Substitute Failure Warning

[Male Stand-In | Older, Fatherly Type | Intense Push and Pull | An Old Flame Rekindled]

Ming Chu found herself facing two tricky problems.

First, she had reunited with her first love. Should she tell her close partner?

Second, if she didn't, how long could she keep it a secret?

Ming Chu decided to take things one step at a time.

But she overlooked one thing: her close partner was the head of the Shang Group, and also her first love's cousin.

Taking things one step at a time would probably get her only one step.

Shang Yanzhan was known throughout the political and business worlds for his ruthless methods and cold-hearted nature.

No one could imagine that someone so powerful and influential could ever be fooled.

Late at night, Ming Chu was fast asleep.

Shang Yanzhan unlocked her phone and found a photo in her album.

A photo of his cousin.

The man in it bore a striking resemblance to Shang Yanzhan.

No.

To Ming Chu, Shang Yanzhan was the one who looked like the man in the photo.

Shang Yanzhan silently turned off the screen and put the phone back where it belonged, as if nothing had happened.

Then he lowered his head and pressed his lips to the soft skin of the person beside him...

Ming Chu vaguely felt pain at the back of her neck, but she was too exhausted to wake up and assumed it was a nightmare.

Ming Chu had no idea that a red mark, branded with resentment, had been left on the back of her neck.

She could never spot it by looking in a mirror herself.

But Shang Yanzhan was certain his clever cousin would see it.
