In her previous life, Shen Qingyi married Shen Du, who was as gentle as jade, and thought she was the luckiest woman in the world. Three years after their marriage, she learned piano, poetry, and making sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for him, transforming herself into another person. Until she found the portrait in his study - the woman in the painting was 70% similar to her, with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, named Bai Ruomei, the white moonlight he couldn't get.
She is just a stand-in.
The heartbroken Shen Qingyi chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river to end this absurd life.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back to when she was eighteen years old. Everything hadn't started yet, and Shen Du hadn't shown that false tenderness to her yet. In this life, she vowed never to make the same mistakes again, let alone live as a shadow for anyone.
But she didn't expect that her cousin Pei Yan, with whom she had little contact in the previous life, would be pressing closer in this life, with eyes as hot as if he had been waiting for a thousand years. He was cold and taciturn and decisive in killing, but his eyes turned red again and again in front of her.
"Qingyi," he said, "In this life, I will be looking for you."
At the same time, Shen Du was still approaching her as in the previous life, trying to pull her back to the old path. And the friends, maids, and even rivals around her all have different trajectories in this life.
Several marriages and entanglements. Some people get married eventually, and some people regret it for the rest of their lives.
In this life, she no longer follows the footsteps of her previous life. She wants to live for herself.
