Twin Flowers: There are many pairs of twin sisters in this world, but are Gu Nian'er and Gu Mo'er really sisters? Can love turn into hatred in equal measure? She loved her and would give her life to protect her, yet she kept a secret no one knew. She hated her, resenting how her sister's ordinary nature had left her living under immense pressure. The other loved her too, and after losing her, spent every day lost in memories, seeing traces of her everywhere. But she also hated her. She had always lived in her sister's shadow, and the person who had promised to love her forever had only fallen for her because she looked just like her sister.

Brother and Sister: He was young, handsome, wealthy, and aloof, yet showed an unexpectedly intense devotion to the sister whose origins everyone else questioned. He told her, "I will give you a new life and a secure identity. I can give you anything, except your freedom." He also said, "Since the person you love can't give you a place by his side either, let me be selfish and keep you with me, even if you end up hating me."

Friendship: She once believed friendship was the least reliable thing in the world. How much trust could there be in a bond formed between two strangers? And so she lost many of the true friends she'd had when she was young.

When she was alone, she began trying to believe in friendship, to believe someone could be kind to her. But after giving someone her whole heart, all she got in return was betrayal. Hiding behind the light, she heard her say, "You don't understand friendship at all. What you gave me wasn't the love of a friend. It was charity that trampled on my dignity."

Love: He knew she had been following in his footsteps across the country, never bothering him or making demands. She knew he loved men, yet she stayed by his side all the same. She said, "There's no prejudice, no pity. I simply love you." It wasn't that he didn't love her, but he always kept his distance to stop her from getting closer. My dear, I only want to protect you in my own way.

His love for her wasn't love at first sight. It had settled deep over the long years. He had been confused and broken, caught between a boy and a girl. But he once told her gently, "We're all supporting characters. But don't supporting characters deserve to be happy in love, too?"

My dear, what else is there in your life?
