Light Steps Through the Chilly Autumn

Twenty-three-year-old Lin Youmo is on the verge of being cast aside by life. With nowhere else to go, she sleeps in the car of He Yan, the young master of Shengyue Group. He Yan notices that Lin Youmo looks very much like someone he once knew, so he takes her to his villa and hires her as the family’s cook. After entering the He household, Lin Youmo recognizes Aunt Lin, a housekeeper there, as her mother, who disappeared five years ago. But for some reason, her mother refuses to acknowledge her. Determined to prove herself and secure her future, Lin Youmo decides to stay with the He family and uncover the secret her mother is hiding.

Only after Wang Tingting frames her time and again does she realize she’s been caught in a web of feelings she can’t escape. By then, it’s too late to walk away, and Lin Youmo has no choice but to grit her teeth and keep playing along…
