    My sincere advice to you is: Don't read it, unless you got a submissive personality and thrive on drama. But seeing that you pity the MC instead of finding her an idiot doormat meat toilet, I suppose there's a chance you may not get as pissed off as me while reading this.

    Hoo boy. I don't intend to be mean to fans of the novel. There's nothing wrong with being submissive, it's not an insult. It's just a prerequisite to be able to enjoy the story without getting your blood pressure through the roof. It'll only make you cry, as long as you enjoy drama.

    Now I'll state my own opinion on the ML and the MC. The ML is an abusive rapist. There's no other way to look at it. At the very least, he's not a decent human being. What, he was forced to marry someone he hates? Did they put a gun to his head? He was obviously able to sacrifice his marital happiness for personal reasons. Don't complain after the fact. He married someone he hates? Fine, just ignore her. Why constantly look for fault and punish her with rape. Wow, he's so justified. He's stuck in his own perspective, seeking faults with others, while he's perfectly righteous. Mm no, it just doesn't fly with me. He's trash. He doesn't even try to look at her or observe her behavior. It's all blind rage and tantrum throwing.

    The MC has no backbone. Is running away from the problem gonna solve it? Obviously not. Can't she open her mouth to argue. Even if it gives no results, it's better than keeping silent and giving the abusive rapist the idea that he's justified in his 'punishment'. There's so much she can do if she puts the grandpa to use. But let's not forget, she's doing this for cash, and she's committing identity fraud, which may come back to bite her in the ass. So it was an idiotic decision in the first place. It would've been better to work at a massage parlor for the cash. But at the very least, she could try to stand up for herself. As for why she's an idiot? She still loves that asshat. After seeing how he would treat a random woman he supposedly hates (yet marries), it should be enough to see he's not a decent man. But she still loves him and pines for him. Ah, I can only think she has a victim complex and blindly idealizes her first love.

    I've read the raw till 550 chapter hohoho
    The ML has this some kind of psychological disorder lol. I mean, he's that cold and 'abusive' becase of his father and he came from a military. But all his actions are unjustifiable :( it takes hundres of chapters before he finally became good to the MC. Although it was all too late.
    But hey! I love the part where the real wife came back and the ML knew that it was not the MC.

    Chapter 417. Hahaha. The ML got into an accident(idk if its an accident because I skipped that part before) then he was hospitalized. The MC knew and went to visit him. Then after that the MC and the wife swapped back. The wife came home and the ML was there then she tried talking to him but the ML was indifferent and asked her, "Where is she?" Then the wife was startled and tried to act innocent, but ML didn't buy the act. He asked her about MC but she didn't say anything and then they argue. He actually threw her outside of the mansion then threw all her belongings from the second floor to the lawn. HAHAHAHA xD

    I don't like the MC and ML but I love reading the story at first because of the character development tho I stop reading the raws at chapter 550-ish because it was too short and the story is dragging. Lol

    The real wife got cancer, but needed a substitute to act and marry the guy she schemed to marry for her.

    The MC is her body double.

    The timeline is:
    Spring to fall (~6 months): Qin Zhiai is Liang Doukou's body double
    One year passes where Qin Zhiai and Gu Yusheng don't really meet. (I think it's one year. I might be wrong, but either way it's a long time)
    Qin Zhiai meets Gu Yusheng and stuff happens and shortly after she gets pregnant.

    About the male lead, I translated a few excerpts from his perspective so you can be the judge.

    When he was seven, his mother had an affair. From that day forward, his father changed. His father, who would have never touched a drop of alcohol, started drinking heavily.
    At first, it was just getting wasted, then coming home and swearing at his mother. Later, it got more intense, as his father started getting physical and in the end, even started hitting him.
    After experiencing many beatings, a person will start to build some immunity and not make a big deal out of this sort of domestic violence.
    So much so that ... how do you put this? Later on, every time he saw his father, if his father didn't beat him, he would think it was unnatural.
    He earnestly recalled that in his memories, from age ten and forward, he and his father only had one kind of interaction--his father beating him. And the only kind of interaction between him and his mother was watching his mother cry.
    From that moment forward, a perfectly good family morphed into something that couldn't even resemble a family.
    And it was also from that moment forward, that he thought that the whole concept of family wasn't as important as people made it out to be.
    Simply put, family was just something you can have or not have. It didn't really matter. Wasn't it just where you go back to at night?
    His parents had an arranged marriage. Even if there weren't any feelings, they still didn't divorce.
    Because their marriage was meant to bridge the finances and relations of two families, his parents couldn't make any final decision.
    He thought, if arranged marriages were like this, he would rather not have them.
    In any case, love will always crumble. It's not like you can't live without love. There is no need to dirty yourself and let yourself sink to such a level.
    Two years prior, his parent's tragic marriage finally reached a conclusion.
    His father shot his mother, then shot himself.
    At that time, he was still in the troops. After receiving this news, he rushed back in the middle of the night, only to be met with two corpses.
    And it was at that moment, that his resolve to never love or marry strengthed.
    His parents' deaths forced him to let go of his childhood dream and come back to manage Gu Corporation.
    He really thought that living this way, independently and unattached, was perfectly fine. It would be relaxing and he would be at peace with himself.


    The day she moved in, she went to his grandpa's house. As it turns out, that day he also had something business there.
    As he went out the door, she came in and the two met face-to-face.
    Frankly speaking, all these years he never really bothered to look at Liang Doukou. That day, he didn't know why, but when they brushed shoulders he felt like he was possessed by some strange spirit, and swept a glance across her.
    Who knew that the girl would be so brave as to fix her large clear black eyes on him, and stare at him.
    He only glanced at her, then went out the room. Before he got on to the car, he glimpsed back at the window. Behind the window, he saw that she was still staring at him.
    At that moment, he didn't think too much. After his chauffeur opened the car door and reminded him, he stooped and entered the car.
    He went back to the company and had a whole day of meetings.
    After wrapping up, it was already 9 p.m.
    He originally planned to go home. Just as he picked up the telephone and was about to give his chauffeur a call, to remind him to prepare the car, Gu Yusheng recalled that today a woman moved into his house.
    He didn't call the number and immediately hung up the phone. Then he leaned back against his office chair and took out a cigarette. He didn't know what was the matter. In his mind, emerged the image of Liang Doukou at his grandpa's house.
    He was going to take a puff of the cigarette but suddenly stopped. It was as if all his acupuncture points were pressed, freezing his spirit.
    He only recovered his senses when the cigarette burned til the end and scalded his fingertip. Then in his heart, he gave Liang Doukou an evaluation: her eyes … are really fucking big.
    He originally believed his drifting thoughts would end there. Who knew, two days later when he went to play golf with Lu Bancheng and a few other friends, Lu Bancheng, for whatever reason, brought up the name “Liang Doukou”.
    At that time, he gripped the golf club and was about to take a swing. When he heard the name “Liang Doukou”, his hands tremored. His swing went off the mark and he missed the ball.
    Lu Bancheng looked as if he saw some unbelievable scene. He jumped up from his chair, gnawing at the straw stuck in his beer, laughed and teasingly said, “Damn, Yusheng. You ended up missing the ball? Could it be that you were thinking of a girl?”
    Once Lu Bancheng said these words, Yusheng was shocked in place. That’s right, once he heard the name “Liang Doukou”, the image of Liang Doukou earlier at his grandpa’s house mysteriously surfaced in front of his eyes.
    Moreover, he has known Liang Doukou for twenty so years. And in those years, he never once thought that Liang Doukou was like what the public thought of her: gorgeous and incomparable.
    But at that moment, he thought that the Liang Doukou he always brushed aside … seemed to look not that bad.
    Especially those eyes—bright, and as if they would hook his soul.
    “Hello? It couldn’t be that I nailed it, that you really are thinking of a girl.” Lu Bancheng, seeing that he still didn’t say a word, patted Yusheng’s shoulders.
    Yusheng suddenly came back to reality and realized that because of Liang Doukou, his mind wandered off two consecutive times. He suddenly became irritated and threw his golf club on the ground. Without saying anything, he picked up his jacket and left.
    After getting in the car, he received a call from his grandpa. First, his grandpa harshly scolded him for not going home, then told him to not use being busy as an excuse. His grandpa already made the decision for him and rejected the Huainan deal.
    He originally thought that the girl was just annoying, but now she ruined the deal he had his eyes on for three whole months.
    An unspeakable anger rose up from the bottom of his heart. He drove back to the company, took a shower, smoked a good number of cigarettes, and slowly recovered his temper. Then, his grandpa called, asking him, “It’s already this late. Did you get back home?”
    He muttered a couple words and hung up. His heart hadn’t even settled, when his grandpa called him once again.
    Once his grandpa said the name “Little Kou”, Yusheng felt like he was possessed. Images of Liang Doukou flashed before his eyes until he felt like his head was about to explode.
    All these years, Liang Doukou frequently used Grandpa to annoy him.
    But all these annoyances, at most it was Grandpa coming to bother him. Now, even she was joining in.
    His anger reached the boiling point. He suppressed his temper, hung up Grandpa’s call, and grumpily drove home.
    But look at her. She was lying on the bed and sleeping so peacefully.
    Thinking back, at that time he truly was possessed. He always wanted to push her away as far as possible. But the him at that time, purposely lay down on the bed in a rowdy manner, waking her up.
    He was venting his frustrations. After she was roused, she looked exactly like she did that day at his Grandpa’s house. Her eyes were opened wide, unblinkingly staring at him.
    That day, the bedroom’s lights were off. He couldn’t see her expression clearly. With the faint moonlight shining from the window, he only felt that her eyes were bright and black.
    At that moment, he reevaluated her eyes: her eyes…are really fucking provocative.
    Those eyes, rather than causing his anger to subside, only caused him to become more distraught. So much so that even his body reacted.
    He never lost self-control because of a girl, and he didn’t want himself to lose self-control because of a girl.
    But the more he thought, the more his anger and lust boiled.
    He desperately needed a way to vent and relieve his feelings. Thinking back, thehim at that time absolutely must have gone crazy. The thought and thought for a way to relieve his feelings, and unexpectedly, the conclusion he came to was to press her underneath him, and viciously slept with her.
    Afterward, he shockingly realized what he had done. He didn’t dare believe that there would be a day, where he would harbor these sorts of impulses towards a girl.
    Without any hesitation, he made a decision. He wanted her to hide as far away as possible once she saw him.
