Tao Ran and Xie Chonglin are about to get married.
She is a dedicated journalist who follows her professional code.
Xie Chonglin is a highly educated, gentle university professor.
Their matchmaker says they're a perfect fit.
Everyone says they're a perfect fit.
She is proper and conventional; he is clueless about romance.
If all goes as expected, they'll live a steady, uneventful life.
Xie Chonglin's twin younger brother unexpectedly shows up,
turning still waters into a tsunami.
At first, Tao Ran keeps mixing them up.
“Xie Chongzhou has a mole on his eyelid. Don't mistake us again.”
To tell them apart by their moles,
she inevitably has to look Xie Chongzhou in the eye several times,
searching his long, thick lashes for the faintly visible mole.
Xie Chongzhou raises an eyebrow, grinning with roguish flippancy.
“Sister-in-law, do you always look at men like that?”
Later, Xie Chongzhou starts a business and gradually begins to dress more maturely.
First he puts on the same black turtleneck sweater as his brother, then the same straight-leg trousers, and finally swaps his sneakers for leather shoes.
By now, Tao Ran can tell them apart.
Xie Chongzhou has darker, brighter eyes, like a wild animal on the cover of National Geographic, untamed and impossible to tame.
Until he corners her at the kitchen counter, trapping her between his arms,
Tao Ran is surprised to find that the mole beneath Xie Chongzhou's eye has disappeared.
“Now you can pretend I'm completely him, without feeling guilty...”
“Just like that night, when you knew perfectly well it was me...”
