He Xi, who was supposed to be a stand-in nanny, somehow ended up becoming the wife.
At just twenty-three, she got the full experience of both the stand-in romance and the pampered-wife romance.
Sure enough, after playing the part of an orphan whose parents both died in childhood, her adult life turned out to be even more eventful than she'd imagined.
Her employer, who also played her husband, Song Chen, was not an orphan, yet somehow made his life even more miserable than one. It was baffling.
One moment, Song Chen surged toward her like the rising tide, turning into a fiercely protective husband and showering her with love. The next, he ebbed away like the tide, keeping his distance until she was left feeling cold and afraid.
They were only a temporary arrangement to begin with. Just as He Xi was losing her nerve, her husband's first love, the woman he had always cherished, came crashing into their lives, with a baby on the way.
