Duan You Nian was attracted to Ying Xiao simply because her face resembled someone else's. After the man accidentally got himself caught up in things, Ying Xiao smugly and flirtatiously patted his cheek. "A decent enough success."
He had no idea that Ying Xiao had been in control of the situation from beginning to end.
So when she came face-to-face with the original, all she said was, "Why should I be the one who looks like you? Why can't you be the one who looks like me?"
After a setback in love, Duan You Nian went home and saw Ying Xiao again. Overjoyed, he heard her point to his uncle and say, "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm more interested in him."
Duan You Nian: ...So I'm the clown here?!
When they were alone, Duan Zhi Yan coaxed her, "Are you interested in my illness, or just interested in me?"
Ying Xiao: "What's the difference?"
Duan Zhi Yan, a highly intelligent man with a personality disorder. His conditions include, but are not limited to, paranoia, antisocial personality disorder, and emotional detachment.
After meeting Ying Xiao, he acquired one more condition.
Because someone said, "That person looks like Ying Xiao," the man had tightened a necktie around their throat until their face was nearly deathly pale. But when Ying Xiao hurried over, he obediently wiped his hands clean, then turned and embraced her.
"Don't be mad. I'm sorry."
Ying Xiao suppressed her anger. "Duan Zhi Yan."
The man leaned against her ear pitifully and said, "No one is like you."
The title comes from:
You are the only exception in my world-weary philosophy.
Rabindranath Tagore
Among ten thousand exceptions, there is you alone. No one compares to you, divine as you are.
No replacement romance, both leads are each other's only one. High IQ vs. high IQ.
The male lead is flawed, but treats only the female lead well.
