"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

She was angry, yet her heart was conflicted. She didn't want to break up, but she was in a cold war with him. She didn't want to forgive him. What did she truly want? If she didn't want to be with him anymore, she should just break up.

It would save her from all this frustration. But if they actually broke up, she couldn't bear it.

In short, women are just complicated.

Actually, she knew Han Bi's words couldn't be entirely trusted; some were meant to provoke her, but some had to be true. The watch, him spending the night at Han Bi's place, the lingering ties, and that butterfly brooch—what was all this about? Ye Feimo clearly knew she was uncomfortable, yet he offered no explanation.
