The solution hadn’t actually been Liang Doukou’s idea, but Liang Doukou’s manager’s idea.
Liang Doukou’s success had no doubt been backed by her agency, which had spent lots of money to mold her. Now that she had gained such fame, it was time for the company to make a profit off of her. With that said, the agency would never watch her fall ill and do nothing about it.
What’s more, Liang Doukou had just finalized a contract on a TV series that paid 100 million yuan.
In actuality, although Qin Zhi’ai did look similar to Liang Doukou after removing her makeup, they weren’t identical. It was still easy to distinguish between them with careful scrutinization.
On screen, they resembled each other so much because of the make-up, which could be compared to cosmetic surgery.
Qin Zhi’ai and Liang Doukou’s nose and lips were the parts that resembled each other the most, especially the nose, which was so alike that they could be called exactly the same. Sometimes, when the upper parts of their faces were covered, Qin Zhi’ai herself almost couldn’t tell who was who.
Qin Zhi’ai and Liang Doukou looked least alike when it came to their eyes. Qin Zhi’ai’s eyes had a natural beauty and were eyes that everyone liked, whereas Liang Doukou, although her eyes were beautiful with make-up as well, had only achieved this through plastic surgery. Thus, her eyes were not as clear and moving as those of Qin Zhi’ai.
However, fortunately, the eyes were also the feature that underwent the biggest change after makeup, so no one had found out the truth when Qin Zhi’ai began living under Liang Doukou’s identity.
At the beginning, Liang Doukou was in strong opposition when Liang Doukou’s manager had proposed the plan for Qin Zhi’ai to replace her.
Yet later, for unknown reasons, Liang Doukou had decided to agree to it, then asked for a private chat with Qin Zhi’ai.
No one wanted to be a substitute and live in the shadow of others. Qin Zhi’ai was no exception. The only reason why she agreed to the plan was simple: she needed money.
Some people might have found this excuse ridiculous, but lots of people in this world needed money badly, and Qin Zhi’ai was one of them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have passed on the opportunity to go to university and instead taken up the difficult and dangerous job of a stuntwoman.
Her father had started gambling two years earlier, and had pawned every worthy thing the family owned. Her father had then died on the gaming table, and before he died, he had also left her family a large amount of debt.
She, her mother, and her younger brother didn’t have even a day of stability as they were harassed endlessly by debt collectors. As the eldest daughter, she was forced to drop out of school and earn money to pay the debts.
Before Liang Doukou had asked to chat with Qin Zhi’ai alone, she had investigated her background.
The first thing she had said when she came face to face with Qin Zhi’ai was, “I can pay for all the debts your family owes, but I have another requirement on top of my agency’s request, and that is for you to get married in my place.”
The conditions were too tempting for Qin Zhi’ai. After all, she had really had enough of her days hiding from the debt collectors.
After Liang Doukou had finished speaking, she passed a photo over to Qin Zhi’ai, “The man I’ll be marrying is him, Gu Yusheng, the only successor to the Gu Enterprise.”
Gu Yusheng…
Gu Yusheng, the man whom she had wanted to spend the rest of her life with the first time she met him.
Two years ago, they had happened to meet, and when she had just been about to ask him why he didn’t show up to their date years ago, he looked at her and calmly asked the people around him who she was. The same Gu Yusheng.
That Gu Yusheng, whose life she thought that she would never be in again.
