Wen Shangqing became a famous "silly beauty". The system asked him to play the role of the fourth-line stand-in who was kept captive by the financial owner Chu Qiaozheng, and then he could retire with success.
Chu Qiaozheng treated him with utmost tenderness, asking for resources and money as if he were a fragile treasure. Until Wen Shangqing found a dusty diary belonging to "his past self". In the tender handwriting, there are warm moments with "Brother Chu", as well as mother's uneasy warning before her death - "The heart is separated from the belly."
Doubts emerged: the fire that killed his mother seven years ago, his missing diagnostic records, Chu Qiaozheng's secretiveness about the past, the probing eyes of the psychiatrist... Even the system issued a warning when he deviated from "stupid".
Wen Shangqing gradually realized that this might not be a simple matter of wearing a book. Is he a patient, a substitute, or the original person that everyone is waiting for to "return"?
In the web of tenderness and control, he cautiously began to resist. A carefully planned "sickness attack" disrupted everyone's pace. In the coldness of the sedative, he glimpsed the deep fear in Chu Qiaozheng's eyes, and also touched the echo of another gentle soul deep in the body.
When the ice of memory shatters and the mask of gentleness peels off, Wen Shangqing must choose: Should she continue to play the role of a caged bird and indulge in illusory safety? Or should we break away from the script, face the bloody past, and find the "self" who has beautiful character but may bring destruction?
The price of the truth may be freedom or life.
