Jing is forced into marriage with her sister's fiancé, Yinguang Lei, after Ling's disappearance. Jing and Ling look alike—but they are nothing alike inside. Jing is thoughtful, self-contained, and emotionally honest, while Ling is vibrant, manipulative, and self-absorbed.
Though Yinguang initially treats Jing with cold indifference, suspecting something is off, he slowly becomes drawn to Jing’s sincerity, resilience, and quiet strength. The more time he spends with her, the more she unsettles him—not because she’s pretending to be Ling, but because she’s not.
Jing never wanted this. She only stepped in because her parents coerced her. Yet in the quiet corridors of Yinguang's world—his sprawling estate, his controlled habits, his deep solitude—something begins to change.
As they navigate their complicated emotions, will they find love, or will their feelings remain unrequited?
Can love that began with deception grow into something true, or will the shadows of another woman always stand between them?
