Quick Precis
Apparently, the story is about an identical twin, a good twin versus a wicked twin.
Episode 1
This drama started well. The first episode is riveting, really interesting.
It looks like Xiao Mu is standing in for her rising star twin, Yao Menggui. Xiao Mu is a delivery girl but has an identical look to her twin.
Anyway, Yao Menggui was supposed to be in a stage play but it was halted when a hanging banner fell on the lead male, Song Ci.
Ji Chen Mo, meanwhile, is a paparazzi with a heart. He was following a veteran star who had to suffer some indignities which he was able to capture in photos but he chose to delete the more crude ones.
However, it looks like he has a personal history with Yao Menggui because he did everything to follow her.
But in the end, he had to give up for now because he heard his young niece who was confined in the hospital had locked herself in the room to decline any more injections.
Literally, poor Ji Chen Mo gave the last of his savings for his niece’s medication which left him homeless as he had just been thrown out by his landlady for rent arrears.
