[GB] After Quitting My Side Job as a Stand-In for Someone's Moonlight

Mu Sanyue is a recent liberal arts graduate, an alpha, poor and stingy. At just twenty-two, she has already spent nineteen years in severe poverty.

Luck wasn’t on her side. She studied so hard in high school that her nose bled, only to do badly on the college entrance exam and end up at some random university. During the summer, she spent three months spreading cement at a construction site to pay her tuition.

But she was lucky, too. She slept at construction sites, handed out flyers, and, after getting swindled out of her money at a nightclub, met Lu Zhaoxuan, a naive, sweet rich kid from a wealthy family.

Lu Zhaoxuan had money and time, and believed in true love. He hired a body double and paid lavishly, with a base salary of ten thousand, plus travel expenses, wardrobe costs, and late-night meal allowances. Overtime was paid at triple rate. Under those conditions... Mu Sanyue was completely sold. Was it really so hard not to go up to the second-floor bedroom? Not to let anyone else find out? To be an alpha pretending to be an omega, playing the part of Lu Zhaoxuan’s frail, unattainable first love?! Could it really be harder than spreading cement at a construction site?

Another three years flew by. Thanks to her side jobs, just before graduation Mu Sanyue was recruited by an upperclasswoman to act in brainless short dramas. Her acting was flawless, her standards had sunk to rock bottom, and she moved seamlessly from one new sugar daddy to the next. The new one was a former top-tier star, a divorced singer with a kid who was a gentle, devoted dad. He was generous and emotionally starved, and went all out to help her promote their couple image. Mu Sanyue didn’t choose. She sent Lu Zhaoxuan a resignation letter that very night, with a simple message: I quit, but you owe me N+2.

Mu Sanyue knew she was shameless, but she also believed Lu Zhaoxuan was sensitive, prone to overthinking, and haughty. He would definitely turn his anger into a cold number in her bank account, then add a “get lost.” She waited for the money, but her phone stayed silent. The doorbell rang. When Mu Sanyue opened the door, her gorgeous sugar daddy, who had rushed over after staying up all night, looked like a ghost. He hurled his suitcase, wallet, keys, and bank cards at her one by one, then threw himself at her as well. His usually sharp tongue failed him, and he couldn’t get a complete sentence out. Lu Zhaoxuan was angry, but tears fell despite him. “Wasn’t everything I gave you enough? How could you go behind my back and find another sugar daddy?!”

The story switches between the female and male leads’ perspectives. Odd-numbered chapters are from the female lead’s point of view, and even-numbered chapters are from the male lead’s.

Alpha female lead and omega male lead. Neither lead is perfect. They have flaws and verbal tics, so please don’t read if that bothers you.
