Otherwise, how could it be that both in and out of his entertainment career, whether it was in his past life or his current life, YanMingXiu would consider him as the substitute for the same person.

In his past life, ZhouXiang was the stuntman for the big star WangYudong.

But not just as his martial art stuntman…..

Even within his deeply ill-fated relationship with YanMingXiu, he was also undeniably a complete substitute.

Disheartened, ZhouXiang went with a group of documentary film crew into the deep valleys of the treacherous mountains. Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and fell off a cliff .

When he awakened again, it was already two years later. Nevertheless, he awakened in another person’s body.

What is even more tragic is that he still couldn’t escape the fate of being a substitute…

Lin Jing’s credo in brief–as long as it’s open, there is no PLAY that can’t begin.

First, came the witch, then soon after her a wolf stormed in, following these intrusions–somewhere quietly waiting–was the toad!

Once more apologetic and thoughtlessly fickle, Lin Jing looked towards the indifferent Wen Yang, heartbroken.

… was it all truly hopeless? <<less

I used to have a white moonlight.... more>>

He came from a prestigious background of the righteous path, an immortal lord of noble and benevolent character and was highly revered by the masses.

He took me to his monastery when I was young and allowed me to live in his residence standing at the mountain top. In other people’s eyes, the me who wasn’t able to cultivate was tr*sh.

I didn’t mind being called tr*sh as long as his Immortal Lord loved me.

But not only did he not love me, he even wanted to gouge out half of my soul to nourish his little lover.

His Immortal Lord’s arch-enemy was a little highness in the demon realm, known for being a scoundrel in all three realms. He was treacherous and ruthless in nature, and whenever interest struck him, he would take up his sword and go to the spiritual pool to massacre evil ghosts.

But when I was in a tight spot, the fiendish little prince in everyone’s eyes would exasperatedly bully me while helping me wipe my tears.
