Concealment

An He is a little walking disaster. Her mother left when she was three, her father died when she was five, and she's had the resilience of a weed ever since.

She signed with a talent agency based on her looks, but never made any money and ended up owing eight million in contract penalties.

Just when she was at the end of her rope, she met Zhou Shixun.

Zhou Shixun's life was the complete opposite of hers.

A loving couple of entrepreneur parents, an accomplished top-tier star twin sister, and Zhou Shixun herself.

Remarkably beautiful, a graduate of an Ivy League school, she returned to China to start a business, and took her company public in less than five years.

People of every gender who wanted to marry her could line up from Ningcheng all the way to Iceland.

And Zhou Shixun fell for An He.

An He had never met anyone who treated her as well as Zhou Shixun did: patient, gentle, emotionally steady, and always ready to give her what she wanted. Even if An He said at three in the morning that she wanted to see the night view, Zhou Shixun would get up, help her get dressed, and take her to the highest point in Ningcheng to admire it in the cold wind.

An He didn't know why Zhou Shixun loved her, but she could feel that Zhou Shixun's love was about to overflow.

In their two years together, the first time Zhou Shixun got angry with her was when An He accidentally pushed open a door.

Zhou Shixun flew into a terrible rage.

An He couldn't help wondering what could make the usually even-tempered Zhou Shixun so angry.

While Zhou Shixun was away on a business trip, An He pushed open that door again.

It was like opening Pandora's box.

A space of nearly a hundred square meters was filled with another person's belongings and photographs.

There were also over a thousand pictures of Zhou Shixun with An He, showing a vibrant side of Zhou Shixun that An He had never seen.

Childhood sweethearts, deeply devoted to each other.

Now An He understood why Zhou Shixun loved her: she was looking at someone else who had died through An He.

So every time Zhou Shixun gently called her An He, she was really calling Pei Anhe.

-

The rain poured down in torrents. An He was preparing to leave the home she had shared with Zhou Shixun for two years.

But she curled up on the sofa, thought about it all night, and cried all night, weak and pathetic as she was. In the end, she still couldn't bear to go.

So she took a role in a production filming far away in the borderlands.

The other female lead happened to be the top-tier star Zhou Shiyi, who had recently been caught up in dating rumors.

After seeing the news, An He thought: No wonder they're sisters. They're both scumbags, playing with people's feelings.

A few days later, An He ran into Zhou Shiyi in the hotel corridor as someone was harassing her. Looking at that face, seven-tenths similar to Zhou Shixun's, An He couldn't help playing the hero and saving the beauty.

As a result, Zhou Shiyi followed her into her room and asked her to bandage her wound.

An He was always trying to look for Zhou Shixun's shadow in Zhou Shiyi, but she didn't dare answer Zhou Shixun's calls, much less meet her face to face.

When Zhou Shixun returned from her business trip, she discovered that An He, who had always been noisy and bouncing around the house, was gone.

The empty house fell silent.

Late one night, she opened the long-sealed room and found that someone had been there.

The photos of her and Pei Anhe had been moved.

Zhou Shixun thought that now that her secret had been discovered, they might as well part on good terms.

But three months later, when she went to visit Zhou Shiyi on set, she saw the woman who had appeared in her dreams just the night before filming a kissing scene with her sister.

Zhou Shixun approached with a cold expression, grabbed An He, and dragged her away.

Zhou Shiyi grabbed her and said, "You see your sister and don't even say hello. And now you're dragging your sister-in-law away? Is that polite?"

Zhou Shixun stared at An He in disbelief.

An He wanted to try to have a little more self-respect, so she turned around, rose onto her toes, and kissed Zhou Shiyi.

In the lounge, Zhou Shixun questioned Zhou Shiyi coldly: "Are you serious? She was with me for two years."

Zhou Shiyi smiled. "It's not like she was in prison for two years. What, is it a criminal record now?"

Furious, Zhou Shixun slammed the door and stormed out. At the entrance, she saw An He, who had lost a great deal of weight. Her heart ached, but she asked coldly, "Is that how she's been taking care of you?"

An He shot back, "What's it to you? You're awfully nosy for a little sister."

Only after Zhou Shixun had left did An He thank Zhou Shiyi.

Zhou Shiyi looked at her tenderly. "I'm not putting on an act. I really like you, An He."

An He was dumbfounded.

Zhou Shixun, who had returned, stood in the doorway, caught between going in and backing away.

One-on-one, happy ending, An He x Zhou Shixun
