This is just an introduction. We will start posting this story on May 12 (the second anniversary date from when we posted our first ever translated novel, Addicted2 on our site). This date holds great significance to us. It was our first time translating and has since become somewhat of a habit. And here we are with our 4th novel two years later.
Any case, with this story, we have decided to change the title we originally had from Unique Tishen to Professional Substitute to align it more with its actual Chinese title 職業替身. This story is written by Shui Qian Cheng (水千丞), the same author as Beloved Enemy.
One change that we are making, the first two posts will be out of sequence from the author's novel. The main lead of the story is ZhouXiang; however, the author later wrote two chapters from YanMingXiu's point of view. We will post these two chapters first... and then start with chapter 1. These two chapters will help with the understanding of the story right from the get-go.

Prologue:
ZhouXiang didn't know if God was giving him a second chance to live because he wanted to give him extra loving care or was it because he hasn't messed with him enough.
Otherwise, how could it be that both in and out of his entertainment career, whether it was in his past life or his current life, YanMingXiu would consider him as the substitute for the same person.
He also didn't know, between him and Young Master Yan, who was actually more pitiful; the one who could only be treated as a substitute or the one could only find a substitute.
In his past life, ZhouXiang was the stuntman for the big star WangYuDong.
But not just as his martial art stuntman.....
Even within his deeply ill-fated relationship with YanMingXiu, he was also undeniably a complete substitute.
Disheartened, ZhouXiang went with a group of documentary film crew into the deep valleys of the treacherous mountains. Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and fell off a cliff .
When he awakened again, it was already two years later. Nevertheless, he awakened in another person's body.
What is even more tragic is that he still couldn't escape the fate of being a substitute...
T/N: 替身: Tishen is a person who replaces another; a substitute, in filming the tishen is a stuntman/body-double.
Happy Reading..
