The Crazy Substitute Girlfriend

To save the orphanage from closing, Ruan Xingwan is forced to sign a “stand-in contract” with Fu Cheny an: for a monthly payment of 100,000, she must imitate the words and mannerisms of his beloved Shen Qinghe. She puts on color-changing contact lenses and moves into Rose Manor, a place filled with traces of Shen Qinghe. But at the wrap party for a film starring a stand-in actor, she touches an old brooch and accidentally reveals her ability to “relive emotions,” drawing Fu Cheny an’s attention. As they grow closer, Fu Cheny an discovers that Ruan Xingwan’s delicate touch with jewelry restoration can always ease his panic when his claustrophobia strikes. Meanwhile, through one crisis after another, such as restoring artifacts stolen from the Palace Museum and exposing a traitor’s plot within the Fu family business, Ruan Xingwan transforms from a “counterfeit” into a restorer respected by the industry. When Shen Qinghe stages her own kidnapping to marry into wealth, the secret of Ruan Xingwan’s differently colored eyes is exposed to the entire internet. Amid the storm of public opinion, Fu Cheny an chooses to stand by the real her. In the end, Ruan Xingwan uses her talent to recover her family’s missing heirloom jewelry, while Fu Cheny an confronts the shadows of his childhood beneath the aurora in Iceland. What began as a game of impersonation born of a deal brings two broken souls together, piecing together the truest kind of love amid a web of lies.
