Synopsis

[edit]

Chien Ching-fen is trapped in 12 years of marriage and child rearing which makes her the envy of many single women. Chien Ching-fen is an office worker who has no ambition to work. She was originally He Rui-zhi's subordinate. Since joining the company, it has been discovered that Chien and Rebecca Chang were not only born on the same day and month, but also often wear matching outfits.[4]

Unexpectedly, Chien and Rebecca also fell in love with He Rui-zhi at the same time. Twelve years later, Chien Ching-fen became He Rui-zhi's wife and began a happy but boring family life. Chien becomes curious about Rebecca's current condition and becomes jealous when she finds out that she has a good life. But in reality, there is a big gap between the side of Rebecca shown on social media and real life.[5]
