Chapter 1: "You're Not A Big Deal"
In the hallways of the university campus, heads turned as Marcus Xu, a strikingly handsome and charismatic performing arts student, strolled confidently down the corridor. His mere presence commanded attention, drawing admiring glances from both male and female students alike."Of course, you'll be amazed by my charm," Marcus thought with confidence. He was keenly aware of the attention he was receiving, and he relished it. "Take a good look while you can. Once I become a superstar, you'll rarely catch me in person," he mused inwardly.As Marcus walked, his easy smile and relaxed demeanor exuded an irresistible charm."Oh my gosh, it's Marcus Xu! He's so dreamy," a female student whispered to her friend."I know, right? He's like a walking work of art," another female student giggled."Man, how does he do it? He's got everyone's attention without even trying," a male student commented bitterly.As Marcus passed by, students couldn't help but steal glances, their eyes lingering on his c

Chapter 2: "Bullies Repellent"
Everyone went out of their classrooms to check out the huge announcement LED board hanging at the entrance of their department building."How immature," Marcus Xu commented as soon as he watched the video play, revealing the humble state of his lifestyle as a student from a poor background."Is that your house, Marcus?" a classmate asked him."Yeah, why? What's wrong with it?" Marcus casually replied, not bothering to hide the fact that he came from a modest background.“Is this supposed to mock me?” he mused. He didn't understand the purpose of showing the video to the entire arts department."Are you okay? How can you live in such a tiny space?" another classmate asked, reminding Marcus that he was surrounded by wealthy kids."My dog's room is bigger than that," someone else commented."Can you afford the tuition here? Are you really okay?" another student inquired."I'm fine living there. It's cozy for me," Marcus replied with a smile. Though their comments were rude, he could tell

Chapter 3: "Dreams Do Not Come True"
Marcus Xu was immediately taken to the dean’s office, while Reyster and his friends were sent to the hospital."You've been doing well. Why are you causing trouble now, with only a few months before graduation?" the dean groaned."It's not me. It was Reyster and his friends who—" Marcus began, but the dean interrupted."I don't want to hear it," the dean said sternly. "I'm sorry, but you can't graduate because of this incident.""Wow, seriously?" Marcus said, feeling perplexed by the dean's decision, but he chose not to show his emotions. He knew the dean was likely making decisions hastily because Reyster was a relative of the school director."This is a serious matter. I will make sure you won't get expelled, but your graduation this year is not possible," the dean stated firmly."Are you sure about that? I wasn't the one in the wrong here," Marcus argued."It doesn't matter if you're wrong or right. You beat Reyster Sebastian! You should be more worried, as he might sue you," the d

Chapter 4: "Role of the Son-in-law"
Marcus Xu scowled, nearly dropping his food, when the foreigner suddenly yanked him upright. "Hey, don't grab me!" he exclaimed, pushing the stranger away."I'm Philip Cheng, Greg's strategic assistant. Please, I desperately need someone to take his place for a while," Philip pleaded, casting cautious glances around as if wary of his surroundings, his expression fraught with anxiety. "If $200 isn't enough, name your price. I'll owe you a favor.""Why me?" Marcus queried, recognizing Gregory William's name as he heard it everywhere, as it was from the prominent conglomerate family.“I know there's a catch,” he said.Assuming someone else's identity, especially someone connected to wealth, seemed risky. Yet, the promise of a favor was too tempting to ignore, especially if it would ease Miguel's worries.Considering the William Group's extensive involvement in the entertainment industry, Marcus saw it as a significant opportunity."I just need someone, please," Philip insisted, attempting

Chapter 5: "Son-in-law's Double"
Marcus Xu froze, unsure of what to do. His worry mounted about his pay and contract with Magic Entertainment potentially going to waste."Your physique looks exactly like that of my husband, but mister..." Margarette commented, scrutinizing Marcus's appearance. "My husband never answers back. He's good at sitting still.""Ah, that's why Philip Cheng told me to stay still," Marcus admitted, resigning himself to the situation. There was no need to continue acting now that he had been caught. He removed his mask and met Margarette's gaze with a brave face."You're really nothing like him. My husband's ugly," Margarette remarked bluntly the moment Marcus's handsome face was revealed."Why do you even mock Sir Gregory?" Marcus asked in disbelief, wondering what kind of mistreatment a wealthy man had been enduring until now."Where did you find this man, Philip?" Margarette inquired, ignoring Marcus's question."He's one of the performers here at the hotel. His body looks similar to Sir Greg

Chapter 6: "Be Confident!"
Marcus Xu stood confidently, despite his attire—a worn sweatshirt and a faded tank top—as he regarded Philip Cheng with skepticism. The incessant nagging from Miguel had seeded doubt in him, casting a shadow over any further requests from Philip Cheng."I'm sorry, Sir Philip Cheng, but are you disregarding the payment you owe me?" Marcus inquired, his tone firm.Philip Cheng's smile faltered, taken aback by Marcus's response. "I will certainly arrange for your payment this week. You want a contract, correct? I'll handle it. But please, lend me your assistance once more," he urged, a note of urgency in his voice."What will I receive in return?" Marcus pressed, his gaze unwavering."What? You want a contract, don't you?" Philip retorted."The contract is the reward for my previous work. Today is different. What compensation can I expect for this new task?" Marcus demanded, his resolve unyielding, unwilling to be exploited."What do you desire? More money?" Philip asked, a hint of irrit

Chapter 7: "Turning into William'"
Marcus, attired in the golf gear provided by Philip Cheng, sat in the passenger seat of the car, prepared to receive Philip's instructions."Anything else?" Marcus murmured, toying with the mask in his hands as Philip settled into the driver's seat."Familiarize yourself with this," Philip directed, handing a document to Marcus."No ‘staying still’ today?" Marcus quipped, glancing through the detailed script before him. The script is a document that outlines what he is supposed to say in response to specific scenarios. This assignment felt like a test of his skills as an aspiring actor."Why? Can't you handle the role?" Philip inquired."This is a piece of cake. I'm excellent at memorizing lines," Marcus confidently asserted. "But according to this, Gregory William comes across with pride and dominance here.""Gregory only shows deference in front of the William family, but he exudes superiority around everyone else," Philip clarified, scratching the back of his head."Does he have a s

Chapter 8: "Suffering Under The Sun"
The conversation started casually, but as everyone's interest turned to ridiculing Miguel Xu, the atmosphere on the golf course grew increasingly toxic."Stop being generous; fire him," CEO Busan commented with a smirk, glancing at the others as if he were sending a message through his eyes.Marcus Xu, however, couldn't decipher it."Should I fire him?" Reyster responded with a playful grin."Oh, come on, that’s not necessary," CEO Busan said, approaching Miguel. His shadow loomed over Miguel, making him feel tiny. "I’m just kidding; carry on with your job."Miguel looked up at CEO Busan, flustered by the sudden friendly tone. He then glanced at the flag that CEO Busan handed him."W-what do I need to do?" Miguel asked nervously, taking the flag with trembling hands."The sun is too strong today; we can't see well. Tend the flag for us," CEO Busan said, smiling as if he were ultimately having fun.“But I don't know how to tend a flag,” Miguel anxiously said, as he didn't even know wher

Chapter 9: "Is justice only for the rich?"
Marcus Xu took a deep breath, attempting to calm the storm of frustration raging within him. He leaned his head against the car window, his gaze fixed on the parking lot."Don't get too close to the window; they might see your face," Philip Cheng cautioned as he eased the car out of the parking lot.Marcus ignored Philip as he watched Reyster stroll inside, accompanied by Miguel Xu, opening doors and bowing deferentially."That bastard. What have I ever done to him?" Marcus muttered under his breath. Try as he might, he couldn't fathom why Reyster was tormenting him and his brother.From Marcus's perspective, there was no justification for Reyster's actions."I let go of my ex for him. I didn't sue him, and I've been keeping quiet for three years. But why? Why does a bastard like him keep messing with our lives?" Marcus seethed with frustration."You don't need to waste your energy trying to figure it out," Philip interjected."What do you mean?" Marcus asked, turning his attention to

Chapter 10: "This is not a scam!"
"Excuse me, could we speak with CEO Joe Sabal?" Marcus inquired politely, addressing the front desk attendant. They found themselves inside the sprawling headquarters of Magic Entertainment, determined to validate Marcus's contract."Have you scheduled an appointment?" the receptionist asked, her gaze drifting momentarily to the striking Xu brothers."I haven't, but I met him earlier today," Marcus replied smoothly, his charming smile in full force. "I just need to clarify a few details about my contract. It'll only take a moment—"Before Marcus could continue, Miguel intervened, pulling him away from the desk. "What are you doing? Why would you try to reach the CEO directly? Contact the talent acquisition team or a manager, for heaven's sake. Don't be foolish!"Miguel believed his brother's approach was naive, unaware of the corporate hierarchy's nuances."It's simpler this way," Marcus countered, waving the contract paper inches from Miguel's face. Though Miguel had perused it on th
