Bai Qi, the victim of a great injustice, knows he is a substitute.

He fell in love with Huo Yufei Huo Yufei at first sight.

He would give anything for Huo Yufei.

Over the next three years, Bai Qi took great care of Huo Yufei.

Huo Yufei also enjoyed Bai Qi's care for three years.

Unfortunately, she still harbored feelings for her White Moon.

You must remain chaste for Ji Yanfei.

For three years, they continued to send people to search for Ji Yanfei.

But there has been no news.

But Huo Yufei is not Shitou.

After three years of meticulous care from Bai Qi, she had long since earned a place for Bai Qi in her heart.

After failing to find Ji Yanfei, Huo Yufei gradually lost confidence.

One stormy night, the two ended up singing together by chance.

Huo Yufei conceived Bai Qi's child on her first try.

With the arrival of the child and Bai Qi's doting affection, the Shadow of the White Moon in Huo Yufei's heart faded somewhat.

It was at this time that...

Ji Yanfei is back.

Next, there was a mess of duck feathers.

Huo Yufei brazenly brought Ji Yanfei home.

They showed off their affection in front of Bai Qi.

Ji Yanfei resorted to all sorts of schemes, both overt and covert, to frame and slander others.

Huo Yufei, on the other hand, is completely biased towards her White Moon.

Bai Qi's love for Huo Yufei was gradually worn away during this process.

Until one day, Ji Yanfei sent Bai Qi a video and a message.

The video is of Ji Yanfei and Huo Yufei singing, and the message is, "You're just a stand-in."

You've taken my place, why don't you just die?

Bai Qi lost his temper and, in a moment of madness, jumped off a building.

This is all of Bai Qi's memories.

That is, the entire plot that will unfold in the future.

About half an hour later, Huo Yufei drove her luxury car and brought Bai Qi back to her villa.

Next, Huo Yufei will present Bai Qi with a contract for him to sign as a prenuptial agreement.

The gist of the statement is that Huo Yufei has the right to end the marriage at any time.

As compensation, Huo Yufei will pay Bai Qi 100 million yuan after the divorce.

But just as Huo Yufei was about to take out the contract...

Ling Yi, however, took out a contract first.

It was placed in front of Huo Yufei.

The contract bore four large characters: Substitute Contract.

Ling Yi straightened his tie, sat up straight, and adopted a business negotiation posture.

Looking at Huo Yufei, he said, "President Huo, I know the true purpose of this marriage."

"You chose to marry me partly for Old Master Huo's inheritance, and partly because I resemble your ideal White Moon, Mr. Ji Yanfei."

Huo Yufei withdrew her hand from the prenuptial agreement.

He glanced at Ling Yi with interest, then picked up the stand-in contract that Ling Yi had prepared.

Huo Yufei's situation is no secret within the industry.

It's not surprising that Bai Qi knew these things.

She was curious about what exactly was written in this stand-in contract.

"Party A: Bai Qi; Party B: Huo Yufei."

"Clause One: During the contract period, neither party shall develop feelings for the other. If feelings are developed, it shall be considered a breach of contract, and the breaching party shall pay the other party a penalty of ten million."

Huo Yufei held the contract and read it aloud, word by word.

He then scoffed and said, "Since you know I'm a substitute, you should know that I can't possibly have feelings for you."

Ling Yi shrugged, said nothing, and gestured for them to proceed.

He gestured for Huo Yufei to continue reading.

"Party A will provide Party B with sufficient emotional support, including daily care for Party B's food, clothing, and emotional well-being."

In return, Party B needs to provide Party A with a monthly salary of 1 million.

"During the contract period, if the emotional value provided by Party A is insufficient or fails to satisfy Party B, Party B has the right to reduce part of the fees based on the actual situation."

Huo Yufei looked up at Ling Yi again.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll deliberately make things difficult for you, and in the end you won't get a single penny?"

"Mr. Huo, since it's a contract, the rights and interests of both parties must be guaranteed. If I were to shirk my responsibilities and act perfunctorily during this process, it would be unfair to you, Mr. Huo."

"That makes sense!" Huo Yufei nodded.

"Of course, I believe that as the head of the Huo Family and a true business elite, President Huo understands the principle of win-win cooperation even better."

"Otherwise, our cooperation will only result in mutual losses, and there will be no need to continue."

Huo Yufei nodded again.

His curiosity intensified as he continued reading the contract.

"During the contract period, if Party B requests Party A to provide services beyond those specified in the terms and conditions, Party B shall pay the corresponding price."

"Holding hands, 1000 per time; hugging, 2000 per time; refusing drinks, 2000 per time... kissing, 5000 per time; singing, 100,000 per time."

The contract contained over fifty different, miscellaneous service prices.

Huo Yufei looked at Bai Qi with a strange expression.

How did you set the price? And how dare you set it like that?

Especially the part about singing.

Huo Yufei felt like she was being treated like a piece of merchandise.

It has a price tag and is waiting to be sold.

This made Huo Yufei feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, his tone naturally turned colder.

"The pricing isn't important; what matters is that everything is for the customer's needs. These are just additional services; if the customer doesn't need them, they can simply choose not to purchase them."

"Don't worry, I don't need any additional services," Huo Yufei said coolly.

Then continue reading the contract.

"During the contract period, Party A will do its utmost to protect Party B's brand image and will not allow Party B's brand image to be affected in any way because of Party A."

"Party B also needs to guarantee Party A's brand image and must not allow Party A's brand image to be affected in any way."

"In the event of a breach of contract, the cooperation between the two parties will be terminated, the contract will be void, and the party that damages the brand image will need to pay the other party a penalty of ten million."

"What does this brand image refer to?" Huo Yufei asked curiously, pointing to the contract.

"You are my wife, I am your husband; husband and wife represent our brand image."

"Infidelity or ambiguous relationships with third parties will damage our brand image."

Huo Yufei clapped her hands, a smile on her face.

"This is the first time I've heard someone describe a marital relationship as a brand image, but this description is quite apt."

"Don't worry, Mr. Huo, I'm a professional."

"You used to be a stunt double?"

"A natural talent," Ling Yi said with a smile.

This was the first time Huo Yufei had seriously looked at Bai Qi.

Although Bai Qi and Ji Yanfei look eight or nine parts alike, at this moment, Huo Yufei realized for the first time that Bai Qi is Bai Qi and Ji Yanfei is Ji Yanfei.

These are completely different people.

I looked down at the contract again.

"Contract termination clause: Termination due to breach of contract. If either party breaches the contract, the breached party has the right to terminate the contract."

Finally, there's the date and both parties' signatures.

"If Mr. Huo finds the contract satisfactory, then please sign it!"

Ling Yi took out a fountain pen and placed it in front of Huo Yufei!

Huo Yufei glanced at the contract again, finding it quite interesting.

This contract seems to be advantageous to both her and Bai Qi.

For example, if Brother Ji comes back, I will definitely want to be with Brother Ji.

Then I would be considered the breaching party, and the contract would naturally terminate.

You only need to pay a portion of the penalty for breach of contract.

Moreover, compared to the 100 million compensation in his prenuptial agreement, the 10 million penalty for breach of contract was much cheaper.

Without further hesitation, he picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract.
