"The biggest blessing in my life was meeting you. The greatest misfortune was hurting you." — Ye Feimo

On the night she finally confessed her feelings, Wen Nuan entered the wrong hotel room—and woke up in the arms of a stranger.

Drunk, confused, and heartbroken, she never expected that one night to bind her to the ruthless and enigmatic CEO, Ye Feimo.

To find her, he boldly posted a half-naked ad of her across the city. To own her, he made her sign a contract as his substitute lover.

She thought it was love. He only saw her as a stand-in.

When the woman he truly loved returned, Wen Nuan vanished without a trace.

But it was already too late.
Ye Feimo finally realized that the only woman he truly loved... was the one he let go.

The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife

"He wants the son," Chen Xueru said painfully. "Even if he wanted to marry me, I wouldn't. After all these years, he's done such despicable things to me. How could I still love him? My son is my everything, and I truly don't know what to do."

Tang Mandong comforted her, telling her not to cry, and couldn't help but think that Gu Rui was a truly monstrous man. How could such a scoundrel do something like this to his own woman?

Chen Xueru's life was truly more dramatic than any play, enough to make a thrilling movie.

After such blows, if it weren't for her son, she probably wouldn't have been able to carry on—betrayed by the one she loved most, violated by a stranger, plummeting from the peak of her career, yet still content with her current situation, not fighting or scrambling, like a warm breeze. Losing a woman like this was truly Gu Rui's loss.
