Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride's Gambit

Lin Chuyi spent three years carefully choosing the “perfect boyfriend”… only to get cheated on just one month into the relationship.

She didn’t waste time crying over it. She dumped him immediately and made a bold move—taking the place of the Ye family’s missing daughter and marrying into a wealthy family, becoming the wife of Sheng Tingyuan, the heir.

Her plan was simple: stay quietly for a while, then leave gracefully when the real Ye daughter came back.

Everything was supposed to be temporary.

Until Sheng Tingyuan stopped her from leaving.

“You lied to me,” he said. “And now you want to run?”

Lin Chuyi looked up at him calmly. “Don’t you hate lies the most? Shouldn’t I leave before you deal with me?”

But he stepped closer, trapping her against the wall.

“You’re not ‘other people,’” he said quietly. “You’re my wife.”
