Summary
Synopsis:
Hua Luoyue woke up to find a marriage contract sitting right in front of her.
The woman across from her stared with an expression bordering on obsession. When Hua Luoyue’s lips twitched into a nervous smile, the woman’s expression instantly darkened. She reached out, pressing down on the corners of Hua Luoyue’s mouth to force the smile away.
The woman said: “Don’t smile like that. It doesn’t look like her.”
Hua Luoyue: “…”
She glanced at the familiar signatures on the marriage certificate: Yu Zhezhi and Hua Luoyue.
Oh boy, I’ve transmigrated.
In the book, “Hua Luoyue” was a humble stand-in. Born into poverty, she was fortunate enough to share a face with the “White Moonlight” of the eldest Miss of the Yu family. Burdened by massive debt and with nowhere to turn, she signed a marriage contract with Yu Zhezhi, obediently acting as a substitute so the Miss could look at her and reminisce.
The contract was for five years. However, the original Hua Luoyue eventually fell in love. When the real White Moonlight returned, she repeatedly caused trouble out of jealousy and ultimately met a tragic end as “cannon fodder.”
The newly-transmigrated Hua Luoyue looked at the marriage certificate, then at the stack of debt receipts that were already half-cleared. She immediately pulled her smile down into a neutral expression.
Isn’t it just a few years of acting as a substitute?
Actually, I’m a fantastic actress.
A fresh “White Moonlight 2.0″—innocent, pure, kind, gentle, shy, and introverted—was born. She played the role for five years.
Yu Zhezhi wavered many times. Eventually, even she became deeply convinced: Hua Luoyue must love her very much. She tried to harden her heart to warn the girl not to cross the line, but every time she saw Hua Luoyue’s gentle face, her only thought was: “I’ll tell her next time.”
But on the day the contract ended, the Hua Luoyue who “loved her so much” took off every piece of expensive jewelry and left every gift behind without a hint of nostalgia. She walked out of the house.
Before leaving, Yu Zhezhi received only a light peck as a parting gift and a sincere “I wish you happiness.”
Hua Luoyue turned away gracefully, waved, and walked into the distance without looking back.
She left Yu Zhezhi tossing and turning in an empty house, slowly realizing what a broken heart actually felt like.
A few months later, at a cocktail party…
The original White Moonlight stood before her, but all Yu Zhezhi could think about was Hua Luoyue’s face.
She began to feel that Hua Luoyue didn’t look like the White Moonlight at all.
And she could no longer deny it—the person she had truly fallen for was Hua Luoyue.
