For money, Cheng Anzhao signed a two-year marriage contract with Pang Shujing. He made her life difficult and constantly blamed her, yet at times he was unexpectedly gentle and indulgent. Cheng Anzhao gradually lost sight of what was real and what was fake, and fell in love with him. Perhaps it was only her imagination, but she felt he treated her differently too. Just as she was about to confess, she discovered she was nothing more than a stand-in. Now that the leading lady had returned, she was supposed to step aside.
When that woman fell on hard times, Cheng Anzhao was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. Pang Shujing spent all day running around and had no time to spare for her. Disappointed, she left him for good, carrying her pain and the new life conceived during a drunken night.
Three years later, the two meet by chance. Misunderstandings leave them at each other’s throats, until he discovers the child. At last, the feelings he’d hidden for years burst forth. He pursues his wife with all he’s got, and Cheng Anzhao finally agrees to take him back.
