For Song Li, adulthood means marriage, widowhood in all but name, and her own death.
Song Li is a minor actress who has been secretly married for three years, yet she has never even seen what her husband looks like.
She figures Wen Jin must be hideously ugly and disabled. Otherwise, why would he be too afraid to show his face?

Wen Jin dotes on her and treats her like a princess.
Song Li holds the Golden Statue Award for Best Actress, two months pregnant.
But no one knows that by then, Song Li is already a lifeless doll.
One rainy night, a gunshot rings out in Shencheng. Song Li shoots Attorney Wen, and the story makes the headlines.
