In their seventh year of marriage, actress Wen Zhan finally learns that her beloved Lu Tan has a white moonlight—a woman she has cherished for centuries.
This white moonlight appears in every one of Lu Tan’s paintings—the token of her affection, meant to be a symbol of their love, had been given to this White Moonlight.
Even the “fated lover” she often spoke of turned out to be the White Moonlight’s name from the past life.
Undeterred, Wen Zhan desperately sought the truth, only to be met with Lu Tan’s scornful question: “And what have you been trying to get from me these past seven years you have been pretending to be her? Fame or fortune?”
What could she possibly gain? Her seven years of genuine devotion had ultimately ended with a divorce settlement.

“A’Zhan, let’s not divorce…”
“Minister Lu, have you mistaken me for someone else?” Wen Zhan prised Lu Tan’s hand off her wrist and gently reminded her, “Your White Moonlight is still fervently hoping to grow old with you. Yet here you are, entangling yourself with a ‘counterfeit’ like me… That’s not quite proper.”
