I'm the White Moonlight's Stand-In, Pay Up!

"A beautiful, clueless shou who only cares about making money and has nerves of steel x a tsundere, sharp-tongued, completely besotted gong who approves of everything his wife does"

-

Jiang Fengwei is a humble high school Chinese teacher, and an extravagant lover of money.

He knows that short of going to prison, he has no chance of getting rich in this lifetime. Then one day, a middle-aged man claiming to be the chairman of Duda Group appears out of nowhere, offering him a fortune to play his son's first love and marry him.

Jiang Fengwei counts the zeros on the check, stunned. "This may not be illegal... but won't your son see through it?"

Chairman Zhou pulls out a photo and gives him two indisputable reasons.

"First, you look a lot like the person in this picture."

"Second, my son went blind half a month ago."

Chairman Zhou makes his case with absolute certainty. "Marry him. One month, seven figures."

Jiang Fengwei is sorely tempted. "Then... I guess I'll give it a try?"

-

Jiang Fengwei signs the contract and secretly marries into the family.

Unfortunately, his husband, Zhou Duhui, sees through him on their wedding day.

Zhou Duhui is calculating, cold, and sharp-tongued. Even though he knows Jiang Fengwei is a fake, he refuses to divorce him, keeping him around just to humiliate him.

Zhou Duhui: "You don't look like him. When he smiles, he has dimples in his cheeks and a tiny mole on his right cheek. He's so sweet and adorable."

Jiang Fengwei pokes at his own dimple, then quietly touches the mole on his right cheek.

Zhou Duhui: "You don't resemble him. He's brilliant and clever, and his handwriting is beautiful. Ordinary people can't imitate it."

Jiang Fengwei stops preparing his lessons and awkwardly puts down his pen.

Zhou Duhui: "I don't know what you're after, but you can forget it. As soon as I regain my sight, I'll divorce you and find him."

Jiang Fengwei: "...Okay, hubby. But I'm only after the money."

Zhou Duhui: "...Who said you could call me hubby?"

Jiang Fengwei: "The contract says I have to call you hubby after we get married, or you won't pay me."

Zhou Duhui's mouth twitches. "..."

So you're not even pretending anymore?

-

Two months later, Zhou Duhui regains his sight.

Jiang Fengwei knows when to quit. Delighted, he counts his money and prepares to file for divorce, only to find his almost-ex-husband blocking his way with a peculiar look on his face.

He cautiously backs away. "Mr. Zhou, we've settled our accounts. I'm not your first-love stand-in anymore."

Zhou Duhui's face is stern. "Right, wife."

"Wife, you're my first love, and you're my wife."

Jiang Fengwei: (°ロ°)!?

This calls for extra pay!

-

In college, Zhou Duhui fell in love at first sight with someone and pined for him for months, but the man went abroad.

By the time Zhou followed him overseas, his first love's family had fallen on hard times, and he had returned to China.

The unstoppable Zhou Duhui was determined to win the man of his dreams. But less than half a month later, a rival schemed against him and blinded him.

To make matters worse, Chairman Zhou threatened him with his shares and hired a stand-in from who-knows-where, a fool who couldn't even pretend properly. His acting was awful, and he even had the nerve to sweetly call Zhou "hubby."

He swore that once he regained his sight, he would see for himself what kind of person dared impersonate his first love.

Two months later, he could see again.

...Turns out he was the clown all along.

It was all a misunderstanding. So it was his sweet, soft wife all along, his wife, his wife, his wife. ^^
