Everyone in Beiying City knew that Meng Ruan was the pampered canary kept by the eldest young master of the Tang family.
She slept until she woke naturally each day, living a leisurely, carefree life of luxury, with food brought to her and clothes put on her.
But in everyone's eyes, no matter how proud, aloof, and high-and-mighty Meng Ruan was, she was still just an appendage of the rich.
Until one day, Meng Ruan met a man, and a light appeared in her eyes...
Then he came back, and everything came to an abrupt end on that rainy, misty winter night.
The wind rustled through the cemetery, as if mocking him without mercy. Fan Zuo's knuckles turned white as he clutched the old newspaper, nearly ruined by the rain. At last, he woke from his dream.
"So that's how it is..." The rain soaked the man's black hair. He stood behind Meng Ruan with slumped shoulders and let out a self-mocking laugh. "I'm only a stand-in for a dead man."
