The Stand-In Walks Out

Shen Xingchen was born into a family that favored sons over daughters. Her growth was fraught with hardships. In her youth, Xie Linyuan was the only bright spot in her teenage years. Even as an adult, Shen Xingchen still couldn't break away from her original family. For a three million yuan dowry, her future was ruined. She was forced into a wedding car by her parents and younger brother and married a groom she had never met before. However, the balance of fate eventually tilted in Shen Xingchen's favor. Her husband was none other than the young man she had secretly liked for many years, Xie Linyuan. Xie Linyuan and his girlfriend He Shanshan had been in a relationship for many years. Due to He Shanshan's inability to have children, they were constantly obstructed by the Xie family's parents. Eventually, the Xie parents used despicable means to force He Shanshan away. Xie Linyuan, who drowned his sorrows in alcohol, was helped to a hotel by Shen Xingchen. This scene was captured by someone with ulterior motives. To prevent the company from being involved in the scandal, Xie Linyuan was forced to marry Shen Xingchen. Shen Xingchen was in love with Xie Linyuan, but Xie Linyuan hated Shen Xingchen. He believed that this affair news was devised by Shen Xingchen. The two began to live under the same roof. On the surface, Xie Linyuan was a qualified husband. In front of others, he doted on Shen Xingchen, helped her deal with the vampire family, and protected her behind her when she was being made difficult. But when they were alone, he would do his utmost to sting, hurt and torture Shen Xingchen. In Shen Xingchen's view, he was ultimately just a substitute for He Shanshan. Relying on Xie Linyuan for his future would only lead him into a quagmire. She came to her senses from the joy of her wedding and took a step back. At this moment, Xie Linyuan knew that the previous scandal had nothing to do with Shen Xing's sinking. She was also a victim of it, and guilt welled up in her heart. Xie Linyuan tried to mend his relationship with Shen Xingchen and took a big step towards the retreating Shen Xingchen. Just when Shen Xingchen thought that his years of secret love had finally come true, Xie Linyuan filed for divorce because He Shanshan had returned! However, Shen Xingchen was already pregnant. The huge shock forced her to be admitted to the hospital. Her attending physician was none other than He Shanshan! Xie Linyuan was caught between two women. On one side was his pregnant wife Shen Xingchen, and on the other was his guilty lover He Shanshan. For a moment, he didn't know how to choose. He Shanshan chose to take the initiative to step back and persuade Xie Linyuan to shoulder the responsibility of a husband, but it was merely a retreat to advance. Time and again, she complained about her helplessness at the beginning, which still made Xie Linyuan cherish her. Shen Xingchen was well aware that Xie Linyuan only loved He Shanshan in his heart. She knew how painful it was for a child to grow up in a family without love, so she decided to give up the child, withdraw from the marriage unscably, and continue to pursue her own life. Shen Xingchen, who has a medical background, is talented and hardworking. However, due to her parents' coercion, she was forced to give up further studies and ended up getting married halfway. Now she has come to her senses from this nightmare. It's not too late to work hard now. But at this point, Xie Linyuan was unwilling to let go. As they spent more time together, he had developed feelings for Shen Xingchen. He tried hard to win her back but repeatedly let her down. Eventually, the two of them ended up at the Civil Affairs Bureau. When Xie Linyuan's father, Xie Jiayan, learned of this, he intervened and kept the child in Shen Xingchen's womb by transferring his equity. After failing to persuade her, he turned to threats, threatening that if Shen Xingchen didn't obey, he would bring her vampire parents back to her side. Shen Xingchen was forced to tear up the divorce agreement. But now, Shen Xingchen was no longer the girl she was when she first got married. She no longer had any expectations of Xie Linyuan, nor did she have any yearning for this marriage. The two of them were just roommates sharing a place. With the help of Zhao Zexuan, who was both his teacher and friend, Shen Xingchen began to prepare for the entrance examination for medical postgraduate studies. At this point, Xie Linyuan discovered that his connection with He Shanshan had actually begun with a misunderstanding. From the very beginning, he mistook He Shanshan for Shen Xingchen, which led to everything that happened later. Now that things have been set in order, all his feelings for He Shanshan have finally dissipated. But at this point, Shen Xingchen is no longer willing to give Xie Linyuan any chance. Shen Xingchen has suffered from the pain of unrequited love since her birth. She has loved her own family, but not only h
