Jiang Yingyue is a fragile little white flower in the eyes of everyone. A business marriage led her to marry Shen Jinghong, a man who has turned everything around in the business world. She knew from beginning to end that the tenderness in Shen Jinghong's eyes never belonged to her - the way he looked at her was always through a layer of mist, as if he was staring at some distant and blurry figure through her. She thought that she was just a substitute for Bai Yueguang in his heart, a shadow he used to fill the vacancy, so she carefully hid the secrets in her heart and allowed herself to sink in this misplaced relationship.
But she didn't know that Shen Jinghong's Bai Yueguang was never anyone else, but herself. In an accident that year, he was forced to separate from her. He mistakenly thought that she had disappeared. With his obsession turning into a demon, he could only rely on his vague memories to look for someone similar to her in the world. Little did he know that the real owner he was searching for was already standing in front of him, but he had been classified as a "substitute" by his own hands.
What's even more confusing is that Shen Jinghong's eyebrows are exactly the same as the long-dead Bai Yueguang (Gu Yan) in Jiang Yingyue's heart. She married her partly out of choice and partly out of self-deception - she wanted to seize the remaining familiarity and warmth in him, treating him as her substitute, and asked for it cautiously, but was afraid of breaking the fragile illusion.
The two have their own thoughts, test each other, and hurt each other. He used indifference to disguise affection, fearing to expose the obsession and fragility in his heart; she used obedience to conceal her struggle, fearing to admit that she had already moved her true heart that she shouldn't have in her role as a substitute.
