The Substitute Bride Is a Sweet and Gentle Star

To raise money for her sick mother's medical bills, Lou Shanshan begged her biological father for help, only to be cruelly rejected. Just as she was losing all hope, her half-sister came to ask her to take her place in marrying the crippled CEO Li Han, offering her a huge sum in return.

For the money, Lou Shanshan agreed through her tears and endured endless humiliation. By a stroke of luck, a talent scout discovered her, and she became a signed performer.

Five years later, at the Golden Image Awards, Lou Shanshan stood in an elegant gown, holding the Best Actress trophy. Facing the flashes of countless cameras, she wore a calm smile.

A reporter beside her asked who she was most grateful to.

Lou Shanshan's smile grew even sweeter. "Mr. Li. I'm grateful that he stayed by my side all this time. Even after all the misunderstandings and hardships we've been through, he never left me."
