If fate has already marked a price, do you dare to trade five years of freedom for your mother's chance of life?
In order to save her seriously ill mother, eighteen-year-old Wen Zhixia was forced to sign a contract and became the stand-in for "Bai Yueguang" in the heart of wealthy CEO Gu Yechen. She lived in a cold attic, put on other people's old clothes, and practiced a smile that didn't belong to her over and over in front of the mirror, just to impersonate the woman named Su Nian. Gu Yechen is affectionate and cruel. When he was drunk, he hugged her and called for his old love, but when he was sober, he coldly reminded her that she "will always be just a shadow."
When the real Su Nian returns, the existence of the substitute seems to become redundant. However, in this carefully designed stand-in game, sincerity fell unconsciously. Gu Yechen gradually discovered that the stubborn and tenacious girl in front of him was no longer anyone's substitute; and Wen Zhixia also found the long-lost warmth and self in this taboo relationship.
But when the substitute falls in love and the real owner returns home, will this love that started with a lie lead to destruction or rebirth? As a sudden surgical conspiracy surfaced, all disguises were torn apart. It turns out that the most vicious calculations are often covered in the gentlest clothes.
