The Stand-In Bottom Has Awakened

Yan Heqing awakened.

One second before signing the stand-in contract.

It turned out he was a cannon-fodder stand-in in a novel.

In the story, he spent three years as a substitute for Lu Muchi's unattainable first love.

He was slapped by the little lover in Lu Muchi's arms, sent by Lu Muchi to seduce a business rival and nearly raped, and strangled by Lu Muchi until he nearly died.

Through it all, he groveled and debased himself, accepting everything gladly, loving Lu Muchi to his very bones.

In the end, he even willingly donated both his eyes to restore the sight of Lu Muchi's first love-his own twin brother.

Abandoned as children and sent to an orphanage, he and his twin brother had faced the same fate. He gave his brother the chance to be adopted by a wealthy family, and his brother became a pampered young master, showered with affection.

He, meanwhile, was adopted by an infertile couple. After a year of reasonably happy family life, his adoptive parents miraculously had a son of their own, and his life plunged into hell.

Meeting Lu Muchi only brought him face-to-face with his executioner. Unable to win his brother's heart, Lu Muchi sought him out as a replacement.

His adoptive parents, eager for the money, sold him to Lu Muchi with delight.

And under Lu Muchi's psychological and physical abuse, he developed Stockholm syndrome and fell in love with him.

His ending was to give the last thing of value he had-his eyes-to his protagonist brother, then be struck and sent flying by a car while saving the other protagonist, Lu Muchi. His life ended at twenty-one.

Are. You. Kidding. Me?

Yan Heqing's hunt had begun.

The adoptive family who abused him.

The love-addled brother who took his eyes.

And-

Lu Muchi, who trampled his dignity, destroyed his dreams, and took his life.

He would not let a single one of them off.

His eyes, his dignity, his dreams, his life-he would reclaim every last one.

Mini-Theater:

Hopelessly in love with Yan Heqing, Lu Muchi painstakingly planned a proposal, only to hear that Yan Heqing was getting married. After drowning his sorrows late at night, he went wild and pounded on Yan Heqing's door.

The door opened. The sight of the man who answered scared Lu Muchi sober. "Uncle?! What are you doing here?"

Clad in a bathrobe, Lu Lin parted his thin lips and uttered two words: "An affair."

Legend had it in the business world that Lu Lin, the man at the helm of the Lu empire, stood far above everyone else, a supreme power who looked down on all beneath him.

Until one day, Yan Heqing dragged him mercilessly off his pedestal.

Cool, aloof, breathtakingly beautiful, and a master of seduction: the bottom × An older, sexually restrained, domineering CEO: the top.
