“Whose shadow must you live in before the world will see you?”
Wen Zhaotang never imagined that an accident would completely rewrite her life.
A conspiracy sent her older sister, Yin Manshu, tumbling down the stairs and left her in a vegetative state. To protect the family’s reputation, their father forced Wen Zhaotang to become her sister’s “substitute”: transfer to an elite academy, wear her sister’s ballet costumes, and erase her own name. She had to play the radiant ballerina perfectly.
On her first day at school, she met Luo Yichen in an abandoned building.
The aloof, arrogant campus celebrity everyone talked about. “You’re not her,” he said, his first words to her.
In this world full of lies, he seemed to be the only one who knew who she really was.
“The mastermind behind the conspiracy, the eyes watching her every moment, the mysterious letters in her private dressing room…”
As the conspiracy slowly came to light, as Wen Zhaotang could no longer tell herself apart from her sister, and as he wept for her beneath the fireworks,
Wen Zhaotang finally understood:
“Some people were never meant to be anyone else’s shadow.”
