The Stand-In Girlfriend

The contract Zhou Shiyue put in front of Song Wennuan paid her to stand in for the woman he had been in love with for years, who was out of the country. She signed it on the spot. Two years of the job and she would have enough money to travel, which was the only thing she wanted out of a life she had not chosen. She had been an office worker before she woke up inside a short drama as the stand-in for its female lead, a part written to be used and discarded. The two years were nearly up when the first love came home. Song Wennuan hung a banner and went out to welcome her. Zhou Shiyue then changed his mind about letting the arrangement end. A wounded man turned up one night and the quiet she had built for herself went. His name was Lu Ling, and the two of them had been tied to each other from that first night, which she had no idea about at the time. There was a ring that answered to blood and knew its owner, and a family behind him that kept to itself.
