Lin Che is the male protagonist, a D-list actor who served as a stand-in for Qin Wei's childhood sweetheart Jiang Yu for five years. Orphaned at eighteen, he dropped out of college to care for his younger sister Lin Xi, who suffers from congenital heart disease. To pay for her medical treatments, he entered the entertainment industry and was trapped by an exploitative agency contract until Qin Wei bailed him out with two million yuan on the condition he become her perfect stand-in. He endured physical and psychological control, including having his ears pierced to match Jiang Yu's five piercings, and was forced to mimic Jiang Yu's appearance and lifestyle. Despite his suffering, he remained diligent and submissive, handling all household chores and catering to Qin Wei's every whim. When Qin Wei finally dismissed him upon Jiang Yu's return, Lin Che accepted a mere 200,000 yuan and left without hesitation, revealing he had secretly owned a spacious house all along. He immediately blocked Qin Wei and her circle, feeling profound relief and freedom. He is handsome, gentle, capable, and deeply devoted, but ultimately chose self-preservation over loyalty.
