"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

Her face hardened, and she tossed the brooch back into the jewelry box, instead taking out a heart-shaped necklace and putting it on. Ye Feimo watched her actions, his eyes narrowing. What did she mean by that? Wen Nuan hadn't expected him to be standing outside the dressing room, watching her.

She paused, then said nothing, picked up her bag, and left.

Ye Feimo's face darkened as he grabbed her arm, asking in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing," Wen Nuan replied indifferently, trying to pull away from Ye Feimo, but he pulled her forcefully, and Wen Nuan fell against him. Ye Feimo's expression became exceedingly grim.

Wen Nuan was furious. She looked up and glared at him. "Let go!"

"How long are you going to keep this up with me?" Ye Feimo demanded sharply. Wen Nuan found it amusing. "Keeping it up"? In her eyes, was she just making a fuss, being petty?
