The Person Hidden Beneath the Skin

Xu Jing, a cosmetic surgery consultant, has spent eight years in the industry and met all kinds of people who treat plastic surgery as a solution to life's problems. Yet some people don't choose surgery simply to become beautiful. A young woman gets surgery to look like a woman in her forties; a mother over fifty transforms herself to resemble her dead daughter; a young, beautiful online celebrity hopes to trade lives with a rich heiress through plastic surgery; and an artist who doesn't live up to his reputation deliberately has his nose botched to match his "self-portrait"... Through her encounters with these "special" clients, Xu Jing glimpses the darkness and scheming of human nature, as well as the truth buried in the shadows.
