Lin Jianwei met Gu Chenglan for the first time on the day when the old port reconstruction project on the south bank of Linlan was launched.
This man, who stood at the center of Linlan's power, looked at her in disbelief in front of everyone.
Everyone said that she looked like an old acquaintance of the Gu family, like the person who should have disappeared into the past of Old Port long ago.
Even Gu Chenglan himself admitted that he approached her at first just because of the overly similar shadow.
But Lin Jianwei didn't believe in fate, and he wasn't willing to be anyone's substitute.
It wasn't until she followed an old newspaper, a piece of incomplete surveillance, and an unrecorded birth certificate that she discovered that what had been stolen was not other people's love, but her own life.
Ten years ago, a girl's name was buried in a port accident.
Ten years later, an identity that had been tampered with, a truth that had been collectively silenced, and the dignity that the entire family had worked so hard to maintain were cracking apart little by little in front of her.
She is not a stand-in.
She was the one who had been wiped out by everyone.
