Synopsis

In the third year of her marriage to Shen Yuheng, their marriage certificate was accidentally ruined by a spilled cup of coffee.

Nan Yu took their documents to the civil affairs bureau to get a replacement. The clerk tapped a few keys on the computer, then suddenly looked up at her. “Ma’am, your marital status is listed as unmarried.”

She froze, thinking she’d misheard. “That’s impossible. My husband and I got our marriage certificate here three years ago.”

The clerk checked again, her expression turning strange. “The System does show that you’re unmarried, but Mr. Shen Yuheng is listed as married…”

She paused. “The spouse registered on his record is another woman named Qiao Qingyi. Do you know her?”

Nan Yu’s mind exploded with a loud buzz, and all she could hear was a piercing ring in her ears.

Everyone knew that Nan Yu and Shen Yuheng had been childhood sweethearts.

She was the white moonlight in his heart, the girl he had carefully protected in his youth.

As for Qiao Qingyi,

she was the stand-in Shen Yuheng found during the two years Nan Yu spent abroad, because he missed her too much.
