The body of a twenty-two year old has the wear and tear of a forty year old.
She is Lin Wan, 22 years old. She works the night shift at a convenience store and eats expired lunch boxes. Her mother is in arrears for dialysis, and her landlord has issued an eviction order.
That night, a man named Chen Ye came to her and said: In one year, I will transform you into Shen Qing to seduce Gu Feihuai.
Gu Feihuai, the heir to a wealthy family, has his eyes high and is tired of everything.
She studied for four months and was completely transformed from the inside out. She wished she could even cleanse her soul.
++
First appearance, Jiade Autumn Shooting, in front of Qiu Ying's "Peachland and Wonderland".
Gu Feihuai asked her: "What do you like about it?"
She took a gamble: "The time spent forgetting worries is the most precious."
He smiled: "Most people would say 'style'. You said 'precious', as if you were talking about price."
She bit her tongue—this was what Lin Wanhui said, not the socialite Shen Qing.
++
Gu Feihuai saw through her.
Not to see through Shen Qing's lies, but to see through Lin Wan's truth.
"When you lie, your right eyebrow moves."
"When you're nervous, your fingers tighten."
"You are looking for the 18th Peak of Immortal Mountain," he said, "Me too."
++
She should lie to him, get the agreement, and save her mother.
But she chose the most difficult path: in the closed light effect of the speed light wheel, in his grandmother's study, by the Suzhou River at three o'clock in the morning——
She stopped pretending.
++
Chen Ye was furious: Your mother's dialysis, your brother's tuition, everything about you——
Gu Feihuai held her hand: I am not here to save you, it is us who will bear all the flaws together.
The old lady handed over the agreement made thirty years ago: you can take it and save yourself. Or stay and face the loss.
She put down the agreement: "This is the first time for me to think about the path I want to take."
Purpose: Reunion with the true self
