"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

Chen Xueru mused, "Ultimately, he wants to see Zhao Yuning. That woman is his treasure. It must be very difficult for him not to meet her, not to interact with her. Should I be magnanimous, smile, and say, 'Fine, go ahead. Feel free to keep her as your mistress. I don't mind'?"

"Do as you please," Chen Xueru said faintly. "Tang Shuwen, I really think you're particularly strange. You clearly love Zhao Yuning in your heart, and you can't let her go. You're heartbroken over her slightest ailment. If that's the case, why marry us? Wouldn't it be better for us to go to America and live our separate lives? You're truly contradictory."

Tang Shuwen narrowed his eyes coldly. "A man of our Tang family absolutely cannot allow his child to be left out in the cold and scorned by others."
