The Stand-in is Exceptionally Clingy [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The CEO and Her Canary

◎Obedient.◎

Along with a few crackling mechanical noises, a massive amount of information poured into Jian Ke’s mind. Then, her body felt light, as if she had been thrown into the air, and then plummeted down—

“Relevant information has been imported. World deployment successful.”

Jian Ke’s eyes snapped open. To an onlooker, she might have seemed to freeze for a moment before returning to normal, but no one would know that the soul inside this body had already been replaced.

She was on a soft, comfortable sofa. Jian Ke’s hands rested on the edge of the couch, her posture awkward. Her slightly dazed gaze met a pair of deep, inky pupils. The woman, with a cold, exquisite face free of makeup and skin glowing like fine porcelain, was leaning on the sofa with her arms crossed, looking lazy and casual.

Perhaps the other person’s gaze was too intense, as Jian Ke immediately came to her senses and began to process the information that had just been transmitted.

Jian Ke is a quick transmigration agent, who needs to constantly travel through various worlds to complete missions.

In each world, the female lead has a “moonlight” (first love). Jian Ke, who is bound to the stand-in system, needs to stay by the female lead’s side and dutifully act as the moonlight’s stand-in, then gracefully leave once the real moonlight returns.

The female lead of this world is named Lou Bianxia. She is the successor to a top-tier family, and at only thirty years old, she has already taken over the entire family corporation. She is a prominent figure and a leader in various fields.

Not only is she famous, but she also possesses a stunning, beautiful face.

So what kind of troubles would a wealthy and beautiful CEO have?

It’s the “moonlight,” who has become a lingering problem for the CEO.

The moonlight, Shu Yu, was the CEO’s junior in high school. She had a sweet and cute appearance and followed Lou Bianxia around like a little shadow every day. Over time, the usually cold, distant, and unapproachable Lou Bianxia gradually developed feelings for her.

When she discovered her different sexual orientation, Lou Bianxia didn’t panic. She didn’t even think of confessing because Shu Yu already had a boyfriend at the time. She could only maintain their friendship as she always had.

That is, until the moonlight graduated from high school and chose to study abroad.

It was an unrequited love that ended without a word, and there wasn’t even an outside observer who knew about it. All of her feelings were suppressed in Lou Bianxia’s heart, to the point that she couldn’t forget her after all these years and was now looking for a stand-in.

At this thought, Jian Ke looked at Lou Bianxia, thinking that even a rich CEO has things she wants but can’t have.

Seemingly displeased with Jian Ke’s obvious distraction, Lou Bianxia’s brow furrowed, and she tapped heavily on the coffee table in front of them. “Hesitating?”

Jian Ke’s gaze dropped, seeing a contract on the table. The words “Co-tenancy Agreement” were written in large, bold letters at the top of the white paper.

—It was a “co-tenancy” agreement in writing, but “sugar baby contract” in spirit.

This was actually a legitimate sugar baby contract.

The original owner of the body was a senior at a film academy. She had become somewhat popular online after a dance video went viral, and her striking resemblance to the moonlight who had gone abroad caught Lou Bianxia’s attention.

About three days ago, she was approached by Lou Bianxia’s assistant and offered this contract. The contract was full of detailed clauses, all about the benefits Lou Bianxia would provide. Besides a fixed monthly allowance, resources and connections were also included.

Jian Ke was astounded. With this level of support, even a pig could fly into the sky and win awards.

And the only thing she had to do was stay by Lou Bianxia’s side as an obedient canary. This was exactly her stand-in mission, so what was there to hesitate about?

Jian Ke smiled. “I’m not hesitant. The reason I’m sitting here is that I’ve already made up my mind.”

Lou Bianxia narrowed her eyes, sizing her up. Her legs were crossed, and a light-colored silk slip dress just barely covered her knees, revealing her fair, smooth calves. She leaned forward, her waist outlining a slender curve.

“I heard you’ve been in relationships before?”

“No… uh, I’ve had a few, but I’m single now.”

Lou Bianxia continued, “The people you dated before were all boyfriends, right? Have you ever had a girlfriend?”

The original owner was a complete straight woman with countless ex-boyfriends. She had initially refused the sudden offer from the wealthy woman. A difference in sexual orientation, she thought, meant that no matter how good the terms were, it was all for naught.

But making it in the entertainment industry is difficult, and it could take more than a decade to even get famous. Here was a shortcut to success. In the original owner’s mind, a windfall like this was a significant income even if she endured it for a year or two. Afterward, she could return to the embrace of men.

And Jian Ke—

Her eyes moved from Lou Bianxia’s faint hip line and met the rise and fall of her chest. That woman seemed to naturally possess a seductive aura, with an innate charm. Her gaze alone was like a rippling spring.

“Although I don’t have much experience, I think I can do a good job.” She bit her lip, swallowing a lump in her throat, suppressing the desire that was stirring within her.

At her words, Lou Bianxia’s eyes slanted upwards, and she scoffed lightly. “Since you have no experience, what makes you think you can do a good job?”

At this point, Lou Bianxia’s mind was clearly wavering. Although Jian Ke had a face that was 60-70% similar to her moonlight’s, paying so much just for that face seemed like an unwise business decision from a businessperson’s perspective.

Jian Ke pursed her lips, a thought turning in her mind. The next second, she suddenly stood up.

Inside Jian Ke’s mind, the system 520 urgently warned: “Host, don’t be rash! Don’t be rash! Let’s talk it out…”

In the moment Lou Bianxia was stunned, Jian Ke had already walked over and sat down beside her.

A warm touch came from their thighs making contact. Jian Ke took another step, inching closer. She felt warm breaths close to her, and Lou Bianxia subconsciously wanted to move back, but a soft hand gripped her waist. A faint body scent surrounded her, and the warmth of Jian Ke’s breath was on her neck.

“Because I have one good quality: I’m obedient. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it well. As long as you’re willing to give me a chance.”

Lou Bianxia had always disliked such oppressive and invasive closeness, but for some reason, she didn’t push the person away immediately.

Jian Ke felt the other’s body stiffen, so she let go first, pulling back to create some distance. After she moved away, her cheeks were flushed with a light pink, and her face showed the awkwardness and nervousness of doing something like this for the first time.

This was a truly exceptional performance for a job interview.

Lou Bianxia paused, realizing she had no resistance to Jian Ke’s action of grabbing her waist just now. In fact, she felt a strange flutter in her heart. She attributed this to Jian Ke’s face, which was so similar to Shu Yu’s.

This business deal was still quite a good one.

“Did Xiao Cen tell you why I chose you?”

Jian Ke nodded.

Lou Bianxia said, “Then from now on, you’ll stay by my side. It’s your luck to look like her. Sign this contract, and you’ll be my obedient person. I can give you any resources you want, with one condition: don’t have any other ideas.”

“No boyfriends or girlfriends from now on.”

Jian Ke looked at the cold and elegant woman, a smile playing on her lips. She picked up the contract from the coffee table and signed her name decisively. “Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of you, CEO Lou.”

The sudden turn of events left the stand-in system 520 in awe, realizing it had been worrying for nothing. This host was not simple at all.

Jian Ke thought to herself: Maybe she was a little impulsive when she sent someone to find me, but when my face is actually in front of her, she definitely won’t be able to refuse.

She touched her face. Am I really that similar? Without a picture of the moonlight, she couldn’t compare.

“Take good care of me? In what way?” Lou Bianxia asked leisurely, as if implying a certain hidden meaning.

Jian Ke blinked at her and said obediently, “It’s late. Can I carry you back to your room now?”

Seeing no response, Jian Ke took Lou Bianxia’s silence as an approval. She swiftly and gently scooped the woman up from the sofa, one arm under her legs and the other firmly around her waist.

In the process, one side of Lou Bianxia’s slip dress shoulder strap slid down. In this position, if Jian Ke lowered her head, everything would be visible.

Lou Bianxia expressionlessly pulled her strap back up. Her body was lifted off the ground but was held securely in someone’s arms. On the surface, she appeared calm and composed, but her ears and neck had quietly turned red.

“The second room on the right on the second floor.”

“And after that? Do you want to take care of me in bed?”

Jian Ke’s breath hitched. She looked at the gorgeous, cold beauty in her arms, a dark glint in her eyes. Her voice was hoarse with suppressed emotion, “As long as you’re willing… because accompanying you to bed is also fulfilling my responsibilities.”

Lou Bianxia still felt like Jian Ke was forcing herself, and her eyes were filled with blatant suspicion. She pulled down the collar of Jian Ke’s shirt. “Didn’t you say you have no experience? Are you sure?”

Jian Ke: I’m sure! Of course, I’m sure!

With a stunning beauty right in front of me, how could I not be sure?

Jian Ke felt that she should fulfill her responsibilities physically.
