There are only two things in Shen Qingci's life: painting, and revenge against the Lin family.
Ten years ago, her mother, a painter, "committed suicide" because her works were plagiarized and she had no way to defend her rights. Ten years later, she "encountered" Lin Jianlu, the heir to the Lin family, on a rainy night with a carefully forged painting imitating the style of the late wife of the Lin family, Su Wan.
Lin Jianlu, the youngest head of the art empire, is elegant, wealthy and has picky tastes. She accepted Shen Qingci's "fake works", provided a studio, held exhibitions, and gave her unprecedented favor.
Shen Qingci thought his plan was perfect. She copied and forged in Su Wan's old studio every night, painting the venom of revenge into exquisite lies stroke by stroke. But she gradually realized that the way Lin Jianlu looked at her was too sober, as if he was enjoying a play whose ending was already known.
"Did you get the scar on your wrist while you were waiting for something?" Lin Jianlu asked softly, his fingertips caressing the pale white scar on her wrist - a scar that was almost exactly the same as the one on her wrist.
Deep in the studio, behind the unlocked storage room door, the dusty diary reveals the shocking truth. The real plagiarist back then was... What's even more frightening is that Lin Jianlu knew who Shen Qingci was from the beginning - and even knew more.
"I hired you to forge my mother's posthumous work so that you could take revenge," Lin Jianlu confessed in the studio under the moonlight, with a broken but beautiful smile. "But you didn't know that I had already framed your evidence of crime as proof of my love for you."
When the spotlight of the auction lights up, the stolen paintings will be sold at a sky-high price——
Two women stand between authenticity and forgery, on the edge between lies and truth.
They must decide: Should they tear apart this gorgeous mask that has been woven for twenty years, or... Paint a truth that only belongs to each other in the fake?
Intention: To rebuild beauty on the ruins
