After Losing My Memory, I Mistook My Scumbag Ex for My Stand-In

Xi Chi and Huo Wenze had been in a relationship for three years.Throughout those years, Huo Wenze never allowed Xi Chi into his personal life—no dates, no meeting friends.What hurt the most was that Huo would vanish without warning, offering no explanations.Xi Chi decided to end things, but before he could, Huo beat him to it.He went to the bar where they agreed to break up, only to see his usually stern, suit-clad partner—now dressed in a leather jacket and earrings, playing an electric guitar on stage.As the song ended, the rocker caught his eye and flashed a roguish grin.“Hey handsome, if you keep looking at me like that, you’re coming home with me tonight.”From that moment on, Xi Chi’s understanding of his partner kept being rewritten.It turned out his husband had split into seven distinct personalities—and every single one of them was madly in love with him.In a dimly lit bedroom, Personality B pinned Xi Chi against the desk, where the glow from a phone screen illuminated a photo of Personality A. With a darkened gaze, B whispered into Xi Chi’s ear, “My dear Dr. Xi… so I’m just his substitute, is that it?”In the office, Personality C cornered him against the wall. Staring at the faint marks left by Personality B on Xi Chi’s collarbone, visible beneath his white coat, C gritted his teeth and demanded, “Who is that man? Why won’t you even tell me his name?”Xi Chi: “…”Every day was a new survival challenge in this endless romantic battlefield.Gradually, he began to realize that Huo Wenze’s secrets ran deeper than he ever imagined.—No matter where I am or who I believe myself to be, I will inevitably, hopelessly, fall in love with you.

For years, Cheng Yule considered himself a well-behaved underrated celebrity. No gossip stunts, no clout-chasing marketing, and not the slightest hint that he liked Xu Heng. —Until his drunken video was leaked online. "Xu Heng!" he roared hoarsely, "You're heartless! Are the rumors about you and Meng Weiwei true?" He woke up to find himself trending atop the热搜榜, drowning in backlash. The next day, headlines blazed red again. Award-winning actor Xu Heng responded publicly: "False. Anything else you want to ask?" Years of pretense shattered in an instant, Cheng Yule found himself irrevocably tied to Xu Heng as they joined the same acting variety show, evolving from骂声一片 to genuine fame. On camera, Xu Heng smiled flawlessly: "Cheng Yule is a senior I deeply respect. I look forward to working with him." Off camera, Xu Heng cornered him in the dressing room: "We've already kissed. How much longer are you going to pretend we're strangers,学长?" Their CP fans in an interview: "At first, when they followed each other's fan clubs, we celebrated wildly." "Then they started sharing the same jacket—that's when we got suspicious." "Later, when one claimed his most precious watch ended up on the other's wrist, we panicked and tried to shut the closet door!" "Who knew a few days later, the热搜榜 would announce their公开 relationship?" (Wiping tears) "We never stood a chance." ----------------------------------- 1. Scheming, tsundere award-winning actor (攻) x sunny, carefree small-time celebrity (受). 2. Fluffy romance, younger攻, 1v1. 3. No real-life inspirations for any characters! ----------------------------------- Upcoming story: "I Mistook the Scumbag for a Substitute." Song Qinyang, CEO of Song Group, pursued school heartthrob Xie Hanyi relentlessly since high school. It took eight years of effort before Xie Hanyi agreed to "give it a try." Superstar Xie Hanyi was notoriously aloof, but the persistent young master Song was the only one who stuck around long enough to make him reconsider. Song was attentive, low-maintenance, and had eyes only for him. Then one day, Song Qinyang bumped his head and kicked Xie Hanyi out of bed at midnight. CEO Song glared down: "You're just a stand-in. Who said you could sleep in my bed?" Xie: "??? Whose stand-in?" Song smirked: "Xie Chen, the one I liked in high school." Xie: "Song Qinyang, are you insane? Xie Chen was my pre-debut name!" Later, he realized Song Qinyang genuinely believed he was substituting for himself. From that day on— "Know your place. The only reason you're here is that你的脸 has a 90% resemblance to his." "A small-time celebrity like you—I could replace you with a snap of my fingers." "Stop making expressions. You're only passable when you act cold." Xie Hanyi lost it. He couldn't bear Song Qinyang's indifference and dreamed of the days when Song used to gaze at him adoringly. Desperate, he recreated his teenage persona and staged a grand return: "Yangyang, I'm back. This time, let me be the one chasing you."
