I Was a Stand-In for Eight Years. The One I Longed For Was Me All Along

[Clear-eyed heroine + stand-in + shocking twists + two lawyers + heartbreaking yet satisfying] She was He Ling'an's carefully crafted “masterpiece,” a formidable lawyer who acted decisively in court and his lover, always ready whenever he called. She worked hard for eight years just to stay by his side. She thought she was the one who mattered most, and let herself fall even as she knew better… Until her twin sister, Shi Simiao, returned from abroad. “Innocent” and “fragile,” she crushed the last of Shi Xia's fantasies. Outside a private club, Shi Xia heard the cruel truth with her own ears. It turned out that all her deep feelings and willing surrender had amounted to nothing more than being a stand-in. Attorney He had only been gentle with her because he was looking at someone else through her, and that someone was the younger sister who had hurt her most! She walked away without hesitation, but He Ling'an panicked. It turned out that the person he had cherished was the fake.

Shi Xia smiled. “Attorney He, did you mistake me for someone else again?”
