Phantom Light

Lin Ruyi, Qian Wenxin, Meng Zhining, Su Feiran, and Zhao Manyi are five city women with very different personalities. Their varied careers and paths in life bring them together by chance. After an unexpected incident, they begin moving between the real world and a mysterious illusion. In the illusion, each gains an unfamiliar identity and faces strange challenges and new constraints. As reality and illusion alternate, their relationships, dreams, romances, and friendships unfold along multiple threads. In times of crisis, they support one another, using humor and wit to escape danger while gradually confronting their own doubts and weaknesses. As the illusion’s secrets are revealed layer by layer, the five women face conflicts and find ways to reconcile their careers, relationships, families, and dreams in the real world. In the end, they embrace and elevate their identities, break free from the shackles of the past, and begin entirely new lives. Told across three tightly paced volumes, their turbulent story explores growth, mutual support, and life-changing reversals from multiple perspectives.
