At eighteen, Zhong Yanlai is neglected by both her father and mother. After dying in an accident, she transmigrates into the fake daughter in a story about a real and fake heiress.
According to the original plot, the fake heiress repeatedly frames the female lead. Once exposed, everyone turns against her, and she eventually jumps to her death.
The System tells Zhong Yanlai that if she follows the plot, she can return to her original world once the mission is complete.
Zhong Yanlai doesn't care whether she can go back. But when she sees how happy and content the female lead is, jealousy drives her mad.
Why does she get to be so happy?
Zhong Yanlai devotes herself to ruining the female lead's happiness, darkly hoping that she will end up just like her.
At last, Zhong Yanlai sets a trap for the female lead and abandons her alone in a snowbound mountain. Delighted, she drives away, waiting for good news.

Maidong will never forget that day. She waited alone on the mountain as one snowfall followed another, from daybreak until nightfall.
She thought Zhong Yanlai would never come back.
But that night, Zhong Yanlai returned and ran toward Maidong in tears.
As Maidong listened to her beg for forgiveness, she gently brushed the snow from Zhong Yanlai's shoulder. Then Maidong kissed Zhong Yanlai's parting lips.
Snow fell softly all around them. The car was filled with passion, and mist clouded the windows.
Zhong Yanlai held Maidong as though she were holding all of spring in her arms.
Lie after lie, hurt after hurt. Zhong Yanlai tried desperately to drag the stars down into the mud, only to be dazzled by their light.

Maidong: "Between moonlight and snowlight, she stumbled toward me with her arms spread wide, like a bright yellow bird, just as she had been when we first met."
