After Dumping the Scumbag, I Ended Up with His “White Moonlight”

Qiu Yuyi was a nobody—a tiny speck in the vast entertainment industry—until a stroke of luck led him into a relationship with the perennial headline-maker, Film Emperor Shen Nian.

Believing that dating his idol was a blessing from ten lifetimes of good karma, Qiu Yuyi sacrificed everything. He quit the industry and contentedly became a “canary” in a gilded cage, living only for Shen Nian.

That was until Qiu Yuyi had a dream. In it, he discovered he was merely a “stand-in” for the top-tier idol Xia Di’an—the man Shen Nian loved but could never have.

When Xia Di’an went abroad, Shen Nian found a replacement.

That replacement was him.

After waking up, the events of the dream began to manifest in reality, one by one. Qiu Yuyi was forced to face the cold truth: the dream was a prophecy.

Determined to move on, he gave a cold laugh: “If anyone else wants to be a substitute, go ahead. I’m done.”

Before the Breakup:

Shen Nian: “I’m not coming back for your birthday. Don’t contact me unless it’s important. Stop hanging out with those questionable people.”

Qiu Yuyi (Ever-obedient): “Okay, I’ll do whatever you say.”

One Week After the Breakup:

Shen Nian: “Has he admitted he was wrong yet? If he has, tell him to crawl back here.”

Assistant: “Sir, he’s already blocked you.”

Qiu Yuyi never expected that once he regained his freedom, his “peach blossom luck” (romantic prospects) would bloom like crazy.

While filming a variety show, he discovered that the beautiful “White Moonlight” superstar had been secretly in love with him for years.

While filming a movie, he was confessed to by a charmingly rebellious “fresh meat” rookie.

Even his scumbag ex-boyfriend returned, pathetically begging for a second chance.

Qiu Yuyi: “Wait, am I living out a revenge thriller script?”

After a variety show wrap-up, Qiu Yuyi found himself pinned against a wall by a jealous Xia Di’an. Dazed from a dizzying kiss, Qiu Yuyi stared blankly.

Xia Di’an: “You are my White Moonlight.”

Qiu Yuyi: “???”
