When Shen Nianwan was 19 years old, she fell in love with a man.
He bought her clothes, paid her tuition, and kept her in his apartment. She never dared ask who she was—until she saw a photo in his study. The woman in the photo is wearing the same necklace he gave her.
She is a stand-in. She's just like "she".
The day she became pregnant, his face turned livid: "Abort it. You are not worthy of bearing my child."
She sat alone in the hospital corridor and called him 37 times. He didn't answer.
She signed a consent form for the surgery - but she didn't abort the baby. She escaped, fleeing to Italy.
Seven years later, she returned.
She is no longer that humble girl. She is a well-known cultural relic restorer and a person who can see the time of death. She has a gentle young suitor and a smart and sensible son by her side.
And he, the Lu family, was on the verge of bankruptcy, betrayed by everyone, and had only three years left to live.
She could have done nothing to save her. But the son said: "Mom, I hope dad can come back."
She saved him. He will live twenty years shorter.
He didn't know what it cost her. All he knew was that she was back. But this time, it was his turn to chase.
Even if he had to kneel down, he asked her to come back.
Because his time is running out, and her eyes hide his last sea of stars.
