The Stand-in's Return: He Thought I Was Dead

For five years, Xu Chengyan was a docile shadow, a mere stand-in warming the bed of the enigmatic CEO He Yang. His unwavering devotion was met with chilling indifference, a pathetic delusion that shattered the day He Yang’s true love returned, exposing Chengyan as nothing more than a temporary placeholder. Broken, but defiant, Chengyan chose the ultimate escape: a meticulously staged death, leaving behind an unrecoverable corpse and a chilling void. Three years later, the forgotten ghost returns, not as a victim, but as a dazzling, self-made powerhouse, completely indifferent to the man who once held his heart. Now, He Yang, a titan of industry, finds himself clawing desperately for a second chance, only to be met by a cold, unfamiliar smile. Can he resurrect a love he buried, or will the phoenix rise from the ashes to burn him?
