The Unchosen Self

Every major life choice will allow another "unchosen self" to continue to live in the shadows. Lin Shen, a 34-year-old architectural designer, has always lived a stable, correct and blameless life. Until late one night, she discovered that her design had been modified by "another self"; her friend said that she had seen her yesterday, but her husband had hidden the woman who looked exactly like her; in the mirror, her long-haired version of herself said to her: "You finally saw me." It turns out that everyone will split into an "unchosen self" at the moment of a major choice in life. They live in the shadow layer, with regret, jealousy and unwillingness, waiting for one day to return to reality. And Lin Shen's most powerful afterimage is the one who chose art when she was 18 years old. Wearing a red coat that Lin Shen didn't dare to buy back then, she broke into her marriage, career and life, hoping to prove that the life she had given up was more worth living.
