In exchange for her mother's sky-high medical expenses, Su Wan signed a three-year contract to become the "girlfriend" of business tycoon Lin Yan - in fact, he was his stand-in for Bai Yueguang Zhou Wei when he went abroad. In three years, she learned to imitate everything about Zhou Wei, and during this role play, she fell hopelessly in love with Lin Yan.
She knew that she was just a shadow, so she buried her love deep in her heart. Lin Yan called other people's names after being drunk, and she pretended not to hear; Lin Yan gave her a gift of the same style as Zhou Wei, and she smiled and thanked her. Her stomach ached to the point of cramping, so she took the medicine silently, not daring to disturb him at all. She thought that as long as she was quiet and sensible enough, she could stay by his side for a moment longer.
When the contract was about to end, Zhou Wei returned to China. Su Wan calmly gave up her position, moved to the guest room, and even prepared a wedding for him. It was not until she was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer after she fainted that she realized that her life had entered a countdown.
She chose to conceal her condition, quietly left with her mother, and spent her last days in a small southern town. At the end of her life, her only solace was an unknown Weibo account, recording all the humble joys and deep-seated pains in the past three years.
After the wedding, Lin Yan gradually saw her own heart clearly. He found traces of Su Wan everywhere in his life, and found that he had long been accustomed to her presence. When he finally found the Weibo account and read about her unspoken love, loneliness and illness, the world collapsed instantly. He abandoned everything and searched frantically, only to find an unknown grave.
For some love, if you wake up too early, you will be lucky; if you wake up too late, it will be a lifetime of disaster.
This is a story about substitution, silence and missing out.
