Summary:

To be secretly in love with someone, but be only a stand-in for someone else, is an extremely humbling experience. Upon seeing his white moonlight, Meng Ying realized that she was just a poor substitute.

That day, she saw things clearly and let go. Since then, only filled with cold feelings and cold desire, no one has entered her eyes.

————

The heavy rained poured; Meng Ying held up her umbrella and looked at the door in silence.

Xu Dian, in a black shirt, knelt on the ground, looking back at her, keeping the same silence. Those peach blossom eyes were full of deep emotion and determination.

A few moments later, Meng Ying turned around and entered. Leaving the slender figure behind.

Xu Dian, drenched all over, bowed his head and continued to kneel.

Xu Dian vs Meng Ying
yuppie, paranoid man VS strong, independent movie queen

Reading instructions:
1. A real stand-in. In the beginning, the woman is abused; later, the man is abuse. The heroine will get out in time to find herself.
2. The glass slag is mixed with sweetness, which will become sweeter in the later stage, so the story has the tag [Sweet Text].
3. The heroine’s career will develop very well, and there will be cool points, but you have to dig it out yourself in the early stage, and it will be really cool in the later parts.
4. Thanks for reading, okay.

TRANSLATOR’S WARNING: This novel falls under the ‘crematorium’ genre. Yes, the ML is the idiot guy who breaks the FL’s heart at the start of the novel — that’s how ‘crematorium’ stories go. An arrogant, indifferent man and a woman who loves him dearly. She wakes up, her love is now dead (hence, crematorium), and the idiot man realizes what he lost and chases after her. After much groveling and self-inflicted pain, love rises from the ashes (yes, still crematorium).

Tsundere is proud for a while, chasing his wife in the crematorium.’ If this is not the trope for you, just walk away. Please don’t leave bad reviews — that would be like watching a horror movie and getting upset that the film is scary (°◡°♡).

Here is a discussion of what a ‘crematorium’ story is. And I agree with the poster: Novel Updates really do need a ‘crematorium’ tag.

  1. Hi! I’m enjoying your other translations, and I’m also curious about this one (“The Stand In”). Will you be continuing this project?

      Hi! I do plan to, I have the first few chapters done already. I really like the FL here and the ML suffers badly haha. But it’s a wife-chasing-crematorium story and these tend to get flamed by readers who don’t like it when the FL forgives the ML, so I just keep staring at it for the moment haha. Thank you very much for your interest! It’s very heartening to know ❤️
