Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I transmigrated into an angst novel as the female lead.

In the story, I was the white moonlight’s stand-in. The domineering CEO treated me like I had no dignity, and yet I still devoted myself to him with all my heart.

I did his chores, made him soup, warmed his bed, and endured all the open and veiled mockery from his friends.

In the end, the white moonlight came back and humiliated me to death.

And to please her, he told me to get lost. Only after I died miserably of cancer did he finally drown in regret.

All I lost was my life, but he lost his love!

I decided to take a road no one had ever imagined.

At the moment, the plot had only just begun. Lin Yue had offered me three hundred thousand a month to be his stand-in girlfriend.

Lin Yue did have a decent appearance, fitting every fantasy of a domineering CEO.

“From now on, you’ll live here. Take care of my daily needs and wait for me to come home every day.”

“I still have classes.”

“Drop out.”

The original female lead had dropped out, dedicating herself to being his live-in nanny, cutting herself off from society until she had no way back.

Naturally, I had no intention of repeating her mistakes.

“President Lin, I asked around. The reason you chose me is because I look like your white moonlight, Xu Shanshan.”

“Since you love her so much and can’t forget her, why would you look for a stand-in? Isn’t that a stain on your love?”

The man who had been about to press me down onto the sofa paused. “That’s none of your business.”

“A man’s best betrothal gift is loyalty, purity, and chastity.”

“Sister Xu only went abroad. She didn’t die. If she comes back and finds out you’ve had a lover, how disappointed would she be?”

“Forgive me for being blunt, but in female social circles, a situation like yours would be called a rotten cucumber. Cheap. Worthless. You originally still had hope of reuniting after separation, but now that hope will be gone too.”

Lin Yue was caught completely off guard by a lecture on male virtue.

“Don’t think you can deceive her. No wall in this world is completely airtight.” I shook my index finger solemnly.

“And what’s between us is a financial transaction. If we have sex, then what you’re doing counts as soliciting prostitution, which falls within the scope of criminal law. That wouldn’t be very good for your personal image or your company’s stock price.”

“You took the money fast enough, though.” He gave me a faint glance and, out of caution, stood up and let me go.

“I took it because I wanted to save you. Since I have the face you’ve been dreaming of, the face that can soothe your broken heart, then I am honor-bound to take on this responsibility-of course, not by selling my body.”

“If you don’t want to be my lover, how do you plan to soothe me?”

“I can help you practice how to win her back.” I changed my sitting position.

The original novel said that when I looked up at someone, I looked especially like her.

“Don’t think of me as a stand-in. You need conviction. From now on, I am Sister Xu. Imagine it. If she were here right now, what would you do?”

Lin Yue smoked his cigarette, his gaze somewhat dazed. “…She’s never been here.”

Heh. Useless simp.

“See? Haven’t I come here now?” I smiled gently. “What are you going to do, hm?”

Lin Yue was mesmerized by my face under the dim light and leaned in to kiss me.

I slapped him away.

“Kissing a woman without her permission is sexual harassment.”

My gaze sharpened, and I lifted my chin slightly. “Go to the bathroom. Get your shirt wet and show your abs.”

Lin Yue was still reeling from that slap, shock written all over his face.

I forcefully pulled him up, shoved him into the bathroom, and took a photo of his abs.

I styled him carefully. One button on his shirt was deliberately fastened wrong, and his V-lines disappeared beneath a black leather belt. Suit pants, black leather shoes-restrained yet sexy.

Even Sister Xu would say it was good.

I tossed the phone to him. “Send it to her.”

Lin Yue’s eyes wavered. “…I can’t.”

“Have you never pursued a woman before? Have you never had a normal relationship?”

A flicker of embarrassment and anger flashed through Lin Yue’s eyes.

I licked the corner of my lips.

“Then how about this? I’ll be your exclusive romance sparring partner. I’ll simulate interactions with you as Sister Xu and tell you what to do to make women like you more.”

“You’ll develop relationship skills and gain dating experience. That way, when you confess to Sister Xu in the future, you won’t be at such a complete loss.”

“And since we’ll sign a contract, this will be purely commercial in nature. There won’t be the slightest emotional entanglement or any physical contact, so it won’t affect your purity.”

Lin Yue considered it for a moment. “Fine.”

“Then I need to go back now. You’ll drive me.”

“What?”

I glanced at my watch. “It’s already eleven. It’s too late, and it’s unsafe for a girl to go home alone. You have to take me-and right now, I am Sister Xu, so you can’t fob me off with a driver.”

Lin Yue stared at my face for a long while. In the end, he took his car keys and drove me back to campus.

I changed my WeChat to match Xu Shanshan’s style and sent him a message: You were very good today.

Lin Yue: Good night.

Scumbags are all made by indulgence.

If you sacrifice yourself for him and throw in your feelings too, he’ll think you’re cheap.

But if you set up game rules that benefit you, establish boundaries, and then calmly earn his money, he’ll become very polite.

He might even thank you for it.
