The Substitute Beauty Awakens

"No wonder you look like someone I knew. It's because that person never died."

This is a story about a scum gong who regrets it after someone steals his love, followed by a wife-chasing redemption arc.

After his aloof, moonlike master died, Pei Yunxian met Xie Rong, who looked exactly like him. Xie Rong was a timid beauty, easy to control, so Pei Yunxian took him into his chambers and tormented him again and again, never cherishing him.

Later, his master came back to life, but his beautiful substitute was gone.

Only then did he realize he had fallen in love with Xie Rong.

But Xie Rong was already gone.

Later still, he discovered... his master was actually Xie Rong!

Pei Yunxian: I hate that the bright moon hangs so high, shining on everyone but me.

A scummy, regretful disciple gong x a beautiful master shou. A forbidden master-disciple romance.
