From Stand-In Contract to Heartfelt Clause

share time: 2025-12-24 12:30:29

Top stand-in Ruan Tang built her career on one rule: services are clearly priced, no emotions involved. Until she takes on wealthy CEO Gu Chengchuan’s "ex-girlfriend stand-in" contract—accompanying him to meet family, fending off marriage pressure, acting as a "loving couple"—every task with a precise price tag. But as they spend time together, Gu’s "over-the-line" care starts to blur boundaries: the steaming hot cocoa he hands her on a rainy night, the secretly added "exclusive birthday companionship" clause, even shielding her in his arms when she’s surrounded by reporters and saying, "This is my fiancée." Ruan tries to stay detached, until Gu takes out a new contract and smiles: "Forget the old terms. This time, we’re signing a lifetime clause—from stand-in to lover." Turns out, the story starting with a stand-in contract will eventually lead to a heartfelt ending.
