On their wedding night, her husband tells her outright that he has a white moonlight.
Shen Zhiyan thinks to herself: What a coincidence. She has one too.
The difference is that hers is dead, while her husband has chased his white moonlight overseas.
She can’t keep to wifely virtue when the officials are allowed to set fires while the common people can only light lamps.
So she turns around and keeps a handsome young stand-in who looks just like her white moonlight.
The young man is sweet, sensible, and obedient, with a perfect body and a face as handsome as jade. For two years, they are inseparable, and neither asks about the other’s past.
Two years later, Shen Zhiyan gets pregnant and decides to keep the baby while leaving the father behind to live a carefree life.
“Darling, my husband is back. Let’s part on good terms.”
The young man gazes at her with a distant look and lights a cigarette. “Shen Zhiyan, we’re not breaking up.”
Shen Zhiyan gives a scornful smile, thinking, does he really get to decide whether they split up?
Later, the Jiang family holds a banquet to welcome home the young master who had been separated from them for years.
Shen Zhiyan and her husband attend by invitation, but halfway through the evening, someone tricks her into a luxurious room and locks her inside. She watches helplessly as the servants respectfully address the handsome young man, his face dark with anger: “Young master, we’ve brought Miss Shen to you...”
Someone, please save her. The young man has just been unmasked.
