Thirty-year-old project manager Lin Wei suddenly collapsed in the office on the second day after signing a multi-million contract - acute heart failure. The doctor said her heart was like a rusty gear and could stop at any time. The former "young and promising" has become a "sick man", and his life is only gray.
Until the man named Gu Mingyuan appeared. He handed over a brass key engraved with a snake-shaped totem and said that there was a villa in Wuyin Mountain on the outskirts of the city. If she climbed up, the whole house would be hers.
The villa is weirder than imagined: the courtyard is overgrown with grass, but the stairs are spotless every day; in the princess room on the second floor, the mole on the right eyebrow of the girl's photo is exactly the same as Lin Wei's; a figure in a white dress always flashes in the mirror late at night, muttering "Sister, live for me."
"Dad's sweet water" in the diary, the poisonous mandala in the prescription, the small snake-shaped key in the secret place on the wall... The clues wrap around the heart like vines. The closer she got to the truth, the more she felt like a puppet on strings - the way Gu Mingyuan looked at her was not looking at a "similar person", but a "matching item".
When she found the jar of formalin with the heart soaked in the basement, she finally understood: this "gift" was never a challenge, but a hunt. And the ending between her and the "deceased" girl may have been written since birth.
The moment her reflection in the mirror coincided with hers, Lin Wei grasped the scalpel tightly - this time, she wanted to cut the thread of fate with her own hands.
Purpose: It explores the devastation of twisted family relationships on individuals, emphasizes the power of truth, courage and sisterhood, and shows the protagonist's determination to resist fate and seek self-salvation in desperate situations.
