"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

"Oh, so you're being understanding now," Ye Feimo said, teasingly flicking her nose. Wen Nuan felt a surge of annoyance and slapped his hand away. "What about her brooch?"

"What brooch?" Ye Feimo asked blankly, genuinely seeming to have no idea what Wen Nuan was talking about. If he weren't truly bewildered, Wen Nuan would have accused him of playing dumb. He followed Han Bi's news so closely; how could he have missed her wearing that butterfly brooch?

The newspapers mentioned it so prominently, and there was even a special introduction, vaguely stating it was an Anning International brooch.

They were both artists, so they avoided wearing the same outfits whenever possible. Jewelry was no different. It was rare for Ye Feimo to give her a piece of jewelry she liked, yet Han Bi was the first to wear it in public. If Wen Nuan wore it later, the media would undoubtedly make a big deal out of it, saying she was imitating Han Bi's style.
