Wen Lan's world is only black, white and gray.
Her mother's hatred for "women in red skirts" made her feel inferior and cowed for twenty years, like a shadow that could disappear at any time. Until she met Song Nuan, the girl who always wore a red dress and had a smile as bright as the sun. Song Nuan was like a beam of light shining into her gloomy life, teaching her to hold her head high and even gave her a red dress that she dared not wear.
However, a car accident took Song Nuan away.
Wen Lan witnessed her friend die trying to save a puppy, but failed to hold her back. At the funeral, Song Nuan's mother broke down and cried bitterly, mistaking Wen Lan for her daughter in a trance. By some strange coincidence, Wen Lan put on the red dress that she had never touched before, imitating Song Nuan's tone and said, "Mom, I'm here."
Once a lie starts, it's hard to stop.
Wen Lan regularly visits Song's mother as Song Nuan, imitating her laughter, her catchphrases, and even secretly using her perfume. When she played Song Nuan, she felt the warmth of being cherished for the first time. But when she looks in the mirror, who is in the mirror? Is it Wen Lan, or the substitute who is gradually being swallowed up by "Song Nuan"?
And a greater crisis is approaching——
Song's mother asked to meet "Song Nuan's best friend Wen Lan". How should we continue this lie woven in a red dress? When Wen Lan can no longer tell who she is, she must make a choice: continue to live in the shadow of the dead, or take off the red dress and find her own color?
