Just Playing at Being a Substitute, but Her Sugar Daddy Gets Serious

Synopsis

A cold, abstinent, domineering CEO and a cool, foxlike beauty

Cheng Xiyu and Jiang Shu

(A little angst, a touch of sweetness, mutual healing, and a story that lingers)

Jiang Shu and Cheng Xiyu broke up. She was the one who ended it. Those in their circle who knew the story felt sorry for her, while everyone else said she had loved Cheng Xiyu so desperately that her decision to break up came as a huge surprise. Then they thought about it: the real one was back, after all. What place could there possibly be for a stand-in like her?

Everyone said Mr. Cheng had such irresistible charm that he had this beautiful young woman utterly besotted. Even Cheng Xiyu believed it. Certain Jiang Shu was only saying it in anger, he waited nonchalantly for her to come back and beg him to take her back.

Then, by chance, he found a diary with yellowed photographs tucked inside. In them, a boy and a girl smiled brightly. He knew those two faces all too well. The memories he had buried resurfaced, and a terrible fear seized him. It turned out he was the real stand-in...

Some people remain the winners even after they die, whether in family or in love. Some people need only stand there to win. The wish she made with her hands clasped together had never been for me.
