I'm Just a Stand-In, So Why Is CEO Zhou Pretending to Be Addicted to Me?

The biggest mistake Jiang Ye ever made was treating Zhou Ziheng as a stand-in.

He was obedient, attentive, and always did as she asked.

She had noticed him in the first place only because his face bore some resemblance to the man she had always loved from afar.

So when the real deal returned to the country, she dumped him without hesitation.

"You're just a knockoff. Don't take it seriously."

But Zhou Ziheng didn't leave.

He shed every last disguise and pressed her at every turn, until his secret was exposed...

The boy who used to snuggle obediently in her arms and rub his face against her palm turned out to be the younger brother of the man she had always loved!

"Zhou Ziheng, you lied to me?"

"Jiang Ye," he says, his eyes reddening even as he smiles recklessly, "you were the one who made the first move."

Two people, one act. She treated him as a stand-in, while he treated her like a piece in a game of chess. But when a chess piece falls in love, how can it be content to remain just a piece?

Jiang Ye is tired and wants to leave the stage. Zhou Ziheng chases her for three blocks, then lowers his voice and begs before she slams the door. "Listen to me explain."

"Quit barking!"

His muffled voice comes through the crack in the door. "...Woof."
