In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Su Wanqing's family fell into decline in Shanghai's foreign market. Her father died of illness after incurring huge debts. Debt collectors blocked the door and threatened to use her to pay off the debt.
When she was desperate, the famous Lu Mansion in Shanghai sent someone to say that Mr. Lu was willing to pay off all her debts on the condition that she would be "Miss Shen" for three months - pretending to be the white moonlight Shen Ruowei he longed for, and stay by his side.
Looking at her father's mourning hall and the huge IOU, Su Wanqing gritted her teeth and agreed. She thought this was just a deal where everyone got what they wanted, but she didn't know that from the moment she stepped into Lu Mansion, her heart fell uncontrollably.
Lu Chengyuan treated her very well, dressed her in the most luxurious cheongsam, and took her to the liveliest Paramount, but the way he looked at her was always a layer away, and there was the shadow of another person in it.
"When you smile, you look so much like Ruowei."
"Ruowei also has this jade bracelet."
Su Wanqing endured it silently, just as the price of paying off the debt. But when the real Shen Ruowei suddenly returns to China and her identity is revealed, her "stand-in" becomes a joke.
Lu Chengyuan took the check and asked her to leave, and she realized that she had already regarded the three-month transaction as sincerity.
"Mr. Lu, the debt has been paid off, and we will owe nothing to each other from now on." She tore up the check, turned and left.
It wasn't until Su Wanqing disappeared into the crowd that Lu Chengyuan suddenly realized that what he was thinking about was never the shadow of Bai Yueguang, but the person who would cook him hangover soup late at night.
"Wan Qing, can you come back? This time, the person I'm looking for is you."
"Mr. Lu, the substitute position is occupied. You can't afford my heart."
