Steady, perceptive childhood friend x willful, spoiled heiress
As the third daughter of the Song family, Song Jin has a poor reputation and a questionable background. The childhood friend who has been by her side for as long as she can remember is her last source of warmth.
Song Jin overhears her father planning to arrange a marriage for her. When she hears that the other family is the Jiangs, a glimmer of hope crosses her mind. Could it be her childhood friend?
But reality crushes her hopes. The person she is to marry is her childhood friend's younger brother, and Song Jin decides to run away from the wedding.
On the day she runs away, she tells her childhood friend, Jiang Shiyi. But Jiang Shiyi asks, puzzled, "Why run away? Isn't this a good thing?"
Song Jin is stunned. She can't believe Jiang Shiyi could say something like that. Heartbroken, she walks out of her life.
With her pretty face and the title of the Song family's third princess, she gets into an entertainment company and becomes a "pretty face" used as a foil to make the other entertainers look kind and virtuous. Jiang Shiyi finds her and urges her to go home.
"Let go of me, Jiang Shiyi! I'm not marrying him!"
In a moment of impulsiveness, she accidentally slaps Jiang Shiyi. Panicking, she runs away, paying no attention to Jiang Shiyi watching her from behind.
Not long afterward, Jiang Shiyi forcibly takes her away and brings her to her apartment. As they spend more time together, Song Jin starts to think Jiang Shiyi has fallen for her.
But just then, news breaks that Jiang Shiyi once loved someone she could never have. Song Jin opens the photo, and her pupils contract.
The person in the picture looks a lot like her, but isn't quite the same. The word "substitute" keeps circling through her mind.
Song Jin laughs bitterly at herself. Jiang Shiyi claims to be keeping an eye on her in this apartment, but really, she's just a substitute for her white moonlight.
This time, she doesn't want to love again...
Song Jin packs her things and moves out without hesitation, but Jiang Shiyi blocks the doorway. The red tinge at the corner of her eyes is startling. Song Jin steels herself and tries to leave, but Jiang Shiyi grabs her and drags her back into the room.
"Jiang Shiyi, you've got time to worry about me? Aren't you afraid your white moonlight will get jealous?"
Jiang Shiyi ignores her. She puts Song Jin in the bathtub and turns on the shower, soaking her. Raising an eyebrow, she warns, "Are you thinking clearly now?"
Song Jin gets up to leave, but Jiang Shiyi grabs her. She immediately slaps her, but there's too great a difference in strength. Jiang Shiyi pins her by the waist, and Song Jin mutters, "Psycho."
Jiang Shiyi takes a thigh garter out of a bag nearby, her eyes dimming slightly.
"Song Jin, you're being very naughty~"
