Lin Wan was abandoned by her childhood sweetheart Gu Xici for her future. Five years later, she made a high-profile appearance at Gu Xici's celebration banquet with her "stand-in" Shen Qingyan, who had been trained by herself and was very similar to Gu Xici. She claimed that Shen Qingyan was just "playing" until Gu Xici saw the thorns and broken heart tattoo on Shen Qingyan's neck that she had personally designed as a token of their engagement. Gu Xici completely lost control and fell into "White Moonlight PTSD", begging for forgiveness on his knees in the heavy rain. Lin Wan threw the engagement ring off the tall building, declaring that not even the stand-in would bother to have it. The story begins a long tug-of-war about revenge, domestication, identity dislocation and redemption. Shen Qingyan was unwilling to be just a substitute, Gu Xici struggled to survive in pain, and Lin Wan swayed between the pleasure of revenge and the emptiness in his heart. The four hundred chapters will provide an in-depth description of the three people's twisted and profound emotional entanglements, business games, mysteries of life experience, and who in the end can truly get out of that thorny land called "the past".
