On the day of her twenty-third birthday, Qiu Wanyi received an anonymous letter. Inside was just one line: "You are not the Qiu family's biological daughter." Standing by a window on the twenty-sixth floor, she looked down at the familiar black car parked in the shadows, like a beast waiting to hunt. In a single night, the life she'd lived for twenty-three years was turned upside down. Her adoptive parents had found their biological daughter, Xu Nian, and she went from being the eldest daughter of the Qiu family to someone with an unknown past.
Dragging her little pale-yellow suitcase, she left the Qiu home and walked into a noodle shop in a narrow lane in the old part of town. The shop's owner was named Lu He, and she looked almost exactly like Qiu Wanyi. She had a small mole on the bridge of her nose and a red cord tied around her wrist. Between the cooking smoke and the flour, two women whose lives had been switched at birth twenty-three years ago came to know each other again, and began to discover what the woman who had mixed them up at fate's crossroads had left behind.
