Five years ago, Zhang Xiaoyu knocked down her husband Li Wei with a cup of poison, took away the family's savings of 300,000 yuan, and left behind a two-year-old son, Xiao Ming, who disappeared from the world.
Five years later, a woman whose face was beyond recognition after plastic surgery and whose legs were disabled suddenly returned, claiming that she had suffered a lot and regretted it. Although Li Wei had doubts, under the threat of the debt collector and the hope of his son, he temporarily accepted this familiar stranger.
However, as a series of strange events occurred, Li Wei discovered that Zhang Xiaoyu's return was far from as simple as "the prodigal son turning back":
Why doesn't she remember her son's history of severe allergies?
Why does she frequent Internet cafes?
What is her real goal in rummaging through old files?
What terrible truth is hidden behind her hideous leg injury?
The seemingly repentant wife is actually taking every step and planning carefully. When Li Wei tried to uncover the mystery, he found that he had already been trapped in a huge conspiracy involving cross-border crime, high-level corruption and deadly transactions.
Is a former lover a victim or a conspirator? How many ulterior secrets are hidden behind five years of disappearance? When fatal danger gradually approaches his son Xiaoming, Li Wei must make a choice between trust and suspicion, love and hate, and embark on a life-and-death adventure to find the truth and redemption.
This is a suspenseful story about love and betrayal, lies and redemption. When your closest lover becomes the most dangerous stranger, how should you choose?
