Funny and sweet read. It was cute how the President kept hoping the Stand-In would get jealous for him. He would assume Stand-In's actions as being jealous but the Stand-In was always professional about their relationship. President sees Stand-In wiping his face and thinks he's wiping tears but Stand-In is actually wiping away the evidence of takeout food. Hahaha

Example of Stand-In's mind-set

Spoiler

The Stand-in said, "Being a kept man is spineless enough. How can I be s*upid enough to like someone I shouldn't?"

The President falls in love first.

[collapse]

There isn't much angst. The White Moonlight in this story is a good person.

I love this story so much. It has all the elements I love- stand-in trope, wife-chasing, indifferent protagonist with actual goals in life, and an actual ethical business relationship between the MC and ML.

The pace is just right and straight to the point and very humorous. I love that though the plot concept is cliche, the actual story wasn't and I felt like I was going along with the ride. I also love the fact that it didn't have the typical dog-blood and everything was resolved in a mature and... more>> peaceful way.

I love how the characters grow and acknowledge their shortcomings, and also actually have problems outside of their relationship. The development didn't happen too suddenly and no character was forgotten after their part was over. The author has a great way of showing emotion and I felt giddy everytime something good happened to the characters and my heart hurt whenever MC and ML had problems. The humor that was sprinkled was immaculately done and I actually laughed out loud at their s*upid antics (which is really rare).

Overall, it's one of the best danmei's I've read. Very heart-warming, I just- no words can express how satisfied I am. <<less

The story is short but has a has a very developed plot! Very satisfied with everything!!! This is truly a gem!!!❤️

It's also so hilarious and don't have any monotonous chapter. The characters are well defined; even the antagonist is likeable.

Despite MC's low status he's very lovable due to his simplicity and humility (except for money). And he's so hilarious - he knows where he stands and looks at himself low, that's why he doesn't realize that the ML falls for him

Hahaha I really like the MC especially his way of thinking.

"I actually want cash and paid leave in my heart" -- me too bro I want cash hahahaha

MC really loves money. Haha even hugging past the working time can be considered as overtime haha

... more>>
Spoiler

MC and ML are in a contractual relationship because MC looks like the ML's white moonlight (hahaha I like how the MC describe the white moonlight like a man who sells insurance). ML chosr a certain fashion for the MC that is similar to the fashion of the white moonlight. MC cant even wear other types of clothes because of this.

[collapse]

Spoiler

The ML likes the MC already even before the white moonlight went back. The ML is already giving him hints that he likes him, just so funny that the MC still thinks about the contract. Really like how the MC is strong willed and not fall in love while in contract hahah

[collapse]

It was really cute when the white moonlight and the president keeps fighting for attention for the MC regarding who's the best teacher for the MC. This story is good and fluffy, I really like the character development of the white moonlight in the end. All I can say is he's the best and good kind of white moonlight. <<less

Absolutely a gem of a short story. I enjoyed it, especially since I'm fond of the substitute for the white moonlight trope. Btw, the extended version which has been made into a full-fledged novel is even better because it greatly adds more depth to the characters and storyline. Both are worth reading, and I hope the longer version also gets a translation.

The story is short and none of the characters even have a name. But the author makes great use of these features, managing to give the characters distinct personalities without long paragraphs of descriptive language. Their actions and words speak for themselves.

The stand-in (MC) has his priorities straight: money and studying. He knows what he wants and works hard to reach his goals, even if it requires being humiliated or degraded. He takes all hardships in stride, seemingly without a care. But you will eventually see that he has somewhat... more>> of a inferiority complex which is also why he tries to better himself.

The president (ML) is a dog in search for it's owner. At first he seems like any generic cold CEO out there who hires a stand-in for his white moonlight. But as the story progresses, you will see many unexpected sides of him. He is a bit of a tsundere who needs his ego stroked at times to turn his bad mood around. He does misunderstand a lot of the MC's actions, beautiful misunderstandings if you ask me. But then again, his thoughts follow the common domineering CEO route so when the MC who doesn't follow the script is thrown into the mix, the ML is thrown out of balance. It's quite funny. What I really appreciate about him is how he has always been supportive of the MC's dreams and goals, helping him out with his studies and such. He even took a step back and never pushed any hard boundaries.

I also liked how the ML had been transparent about the keeping the MC as a stand-in from the very beginning. The two entered the arrangement with the consent of both parties.

The side characters while following common tropes in the beginning all found themselves deviating from the set and known script. None of them was annoying, 2D or braindead.

Considering how short the story and the chapters are, the characterization was on point. The plot, too. It managed to make me silently giggle at night while also making me shed a few tears during the a bit more dog blood moments. I felt attached to both the MC and ML so fast when I have trouble connecting with the protagonists in other novels. All that despite there not being any names in this story whatsoever. The author did a great job. <<less

I actually wasn't a fan of it, the main character was too money hungry, and not focused on much else. I didn't even find his thoughts and actions comedic, guess its just not my cup of tea. The romance was juvenile and almost non existent. I understand the MC wanting to keep his feelings separate since this is a job at first, but he would have noticed the ML changing his treatment of him at least a little and all the care ML gave him should have warmed him a... more>> bit. I would have liked to seen him fall for the ML bit by bit earlier, or at least question, it all happened in like 2-3 chapters at the VERY end.

Spoiler

Also MC doesn't finally realize his feelings until the White Moonlight tells him of the ML's sad childhood, he was so ready to push the ML back to the White Moonlight and takes the ML's mother's ticket to go abroad. Really the MC is kind of scummy. The ending also isn't complete, he says he will come back for ML after getting his post graduate and making lots of money so he is worthy of ML...

[collapse]

The one thing I did really like is the White Moonlight while arrogant isn't a jerk. He isn't a villain, or scheming and
Spoiler

he and the MC become friends of sorts.

[collapse]

Another reviewer mentioned that the author wrote an extended version and I'm wondering if that one might be better, but I'm not sure if I will read it as I'm not a huge fan of the MC at least some what falling for the ML, but if anyone wants to google it to MTL it is called 替身拒绝转正.

I'll give it 3 stars for now since I will probably end up reading the extended version if it is ever translated. <<less

*blows nose* I really have shallow tear ducts...

Anyways, this is very cute novel despite the supposed dog-blooded trope the plot is set on. Objectively speaking, the story is fluffy and a little funny because of MC's personality but because I'm easy to be emotionally affected, I cried at some parts lols. I think, despite it already good as it is, it has the potential to be expounded more on and be a long story/novel. And I think the author did mention that they will make it to a long story..... more>> (gotta go and look for that).

Overall, it was a cute, funny, and somewhat charming read. <<less

Love the MC, ml, white moonlight and Ml's mom as well.

MC - s*upidly smart

ML - capricious ceo at first but later turns into a real puppy

White moonlight - tired of everything and wanting to be a young lady. love how author described the mc's love for study. Another good part about the story is
Spoiler

when the ML continuously thinks that MC likes him but MC is just worried about his study and food. It was hilarious. Another time, when an enemy of ML was after MC and kept embarrassing ML but MC is busy remembering his english words.

[collapse]

I thought the best part was
Spoiler

when MC got white moonlight to help him out with studies but not. It was in extras when ML was trying to save his mom from troubles and mom who thought otherwise had to teach MC the whole night😂😂

[collapse]

It's short but really fun to read.

Honestly because this story is short that's why it is so enjoyable. I can imagine the entanglement and so when it's a long novel and can't enjoy it anymore.

This novel was fun! It was satirical and a wonderful examination of a genre. I wish it went deeper into the cliches and actually ask more questions about how the genre can be a little questionable.

I liked how the romance was portrayed and approached. At the same time, the real champion is the MC's unwavering desire to better themselves. They didn't lose their way and they did everything with that one goal in mind. I enjoyed that immensely.

I love this. It's short but satisfying. MC is one hell of a hillarious MF and I love how he just kept unknowingly irritated the ML with how realistic/materialistic he is.

He's such a mood man, like, who doesn't want money in THIS kind of economy?

Give this a try if you want something funny to cheer you up.

The MC here has a fun and lively personality; he’s hardworking and self-respecting, and the way he approaches his role as a substitute is really fresh.

The ML is... a little baby disaster when it comes to emotions, honestly (it’s endearing). The emotional line and character growth arcs are well-written and the comedy is excellent! The dynamic between the MC/ML/white moonlight is actually super wholesome too, which is quite rare in this genre.

PS If you liked this, please consider reading the expanded version 替身拒绝转正, which features an even cuter ML ^^

I love this story. It is short yet funny.

I like that MC is a goal oriented person, no wonder the ML fell for him. I also like that the white moonlight became a friend and supports ML's love.

It is easy to MTL but I still look forward for the translation.

Extremely short and plain cute. No brain power needed to enjoy this. The prose is very self-aware and doesn't take itself too seriously.

I loved the author's decision on the White Moonlight's characterisation; I felt that was inspired genius writing.

I rec this for a casual read when you're looking for something funny, short and low engagement.
Extremely low engagement, none of the characters are named.

This one is a gem. A comedy story but filled with roller coaster of emotion. Until the end there is no name mentioned😄

I like all character. They have personalities not a doormat. I love MC the most. He is realistic. He knows his weakness and have some inferiority but he always do positive thinking and it helps. The characters grow within this short story. When you start you will see money grubber MC, s*upid ml, doormat moonlight. But when you reach the end you will their weakness and their maturenss... more>> come out. Ten of ten. Read this <<less

The only plus of this story is that MC is unique. He only cares about studying and money. ML is a typical tr*shy, cold and mentally unstable president gong. White Moonlight is arrogant, annoying and wants to get back ML in the beginning just to change his mind later but his attitude doesn’t change. If it wasn’t written in a simplistic and comedic way it would be a typical tr*shy BL.

This just wasn't for me. The characters not having names, the awkward structure is a minimalistic style as if it's a storyboard.

It did have some funny and cute bits.

The translator did a good job.

Didn't expect this novel would actually made my heart ached.

It Hilarious and Cute novel. Lots of Misunderstanding because our MC was Loving Money and Loving to have Teacher to teach him about School works sooo much.

So while mostly fluff, it does have Emotional moments that made my heart aches.

But im so very Happy with how the Author delivers the story end. I'm sooo glad!!!

Btw, the unfortunate part in this novel is No Character has NAME. Full 'Censorship'. Lol How Unfortunate...

Anyway I'm so Relieved and Loving it!!!

Very sweet and funny in a quiet kind of way. A tiny bit of angst and some dogblood plot elements, but overall just a nice, heartwarming story. The ML is so cute, no wonder the MC eventually falls in love. It's a short read and the story was later expanded by the author into a novel.

enjoyed reading it, it's a fresh take on the stand-in trope. The MC is laser focused on being rich and the president and also the white moonlight has that tsundere vibes towards the stand-in.
