1. In Misplaced White Moonlight, Chi Yi and Jian Qing went through hardship together in childhood. When they became adults, Chi Yi sought out Jian Qing to repay the kindness, only to have Jian Qing’s biological daughter from her lazy, ignorant adoptive parents impersonate her.

Xie Shaojun is playing the role of this vicious fake.

As the stand-in, Xie Shaojun’s daily routine is: permed bob, heavy makeup. Everyone says she’s a streetwise slacker “big sister” type.

Meanwhile, Chi Yi, eldest daughter of the richest Chi family, is dazzling, intelligent, disciplined, loaded with money — a publicly acknowledged goddess.

Two people who should have nothing to do with each other are brought together by the plot.

For two years, Chi Yi helps Xie Shaojun break bad habits and tutors her so she can get into university. No matter how rebellious Shaojun is, Chi Yi never abandons her. Moved by her unrelenting patience and tenderness, Shaojun falls in love with Chi Yi.

The plot then runs wild: Shaojun works hard to get into Southern University, striving to become the kind of person Chi Yi likes. She even forgets her identity as a “task taker,” and right after graduation, they get a marriage certificate.

Then, one month later, Jian Qing returns from studying abroad.

When the truth comes out, Chi Yi coldly tells Shaojun that all her kindness stemmed from their shared childhood salvation. Even if Shaojun, now an adult, was morally bankrupt, she still would have reached out her hand. Chi Yi looks at Shaojun like a stranger.

“Do you have anything to say for yourself?”

In her head, the system says: [A vicious supporting character should act like a vicious supporting character.]

Waking up to reality, Shaojun crosses her legs with zero remorse: “Nope. I’m just jealous of her.”

“You’re beyond saving,” Chi Yi says with disappointment.

Shaojun shrugs carelessly: “Mm. I’m vicious to the bone!”

2. After the truth of the impersonation spreads, everyone calls Shaojun a marriage scammer, selfish and self-serving. Even her parents, Father Xie and Mother Xie, are utterly disappointed, saying they’ll kick her out.

At this point in the plot, Shaojun is simply waiting for a divorce agreement so she can exit peacefully.

One day, two days, half a month… no divorce papers from Chi Yi.

One day she runs into Chi Yi, who asks, “Regret it?”

Shaojun glances at Jian Qing behind her and smiles lazily at Chi Yi: “Why would I? Baby, seeing you run in circles from my tricks only excites me.”

Chi Yi narrows her eyes, knocks Shaojun’s hand away with force, and the next day they finalize the divorce.

3. Half a month later, Xie Shaojun dies of cancer — and before her death, she donates a kidney to Jian Qing.

After her death, everyone begins to repent.

But no one knows — she didn’t actually die. She was reborn.

---

Bold Warnings:

1. Xie Shaojun did not scam a marriage! The one who truly shared hardships with Chi Yi has always been Shaojun. Chi Yi doesn’t like Jian Qing; she has always loved Shaojun. She’s just bad at saying it. Double first love, HE.

2. This is a foreshadowing-heavy story. If I reveal all the setups from the start, there’s no point in reading. It’s a “crematorium” plot (angst before reconciliation), so there will naturally be a lot of controversy. The author will not be swayed by the comment section — otherwise the fire won’t burn. It’s not pure angst, not pure satisfaction.

No story coaching accepted.

One-line summary: After I died, everyone began to repent (GL)

Theme: No matter what kind of environment you’re in, if you hold onto your bottom line and kindness, you can still make the best of your life.

Ling Yu loves Gu Qing, and everyone knows that her love is both cheap and foolish.

She treats herself like a stone under Gu Qing’s feet, moving wherever needed.

On graduation day, it rained heavily.

Ling Yu’s hands were frozen red, pitifully holding a hundred balloons, rushing into the auditorium.

In the crowd, Gu Qing appeared mature and alluring, her curves accentuated by the bachelor’s gown. She was surrounded by a group of boys and girls vying to confess their feelings to her.

Ling Yu called out to her: “Gu Qing…”

Gu Qing’s eyes were filled with disgust as she stared at her wet body, her tone laced with hidden anger: “Is this amusing? Ling Yu, I could never possibly like women.”

The auditorium was silent as a tomb; everyone thought Ling Yu would force a smile and shamelessly cling to Gu Qing.

However, no one heard it. In Ling Yu’s mind, the system prompt sounded: [Congratulations, host. The female supporting character’s plotline has been completed. Task reward: Natural Death.]

After Ling Yu completely disappeared from Gu Qing’s world.

One time at a bar, a friend asked Ling Yu, “If you liked a woman as cold and elegant as Gu Qing, would you find everyone else dull in comparison?”

“Liked?” Ling Yu casually swirled her wine glass, her tone nonchalant: “Having liked a stingy straight girl? I’ll let you know once I fall for her…”

That night, the fragmented, colorful lights of the bar danced across Ling Yu’s face. She was surrounded by admirers, living life to the fullest.

Gu Qing sat in the adjacent booth, clenching her fists tightly.
