To cope with her annual heat cycle, Bai Qingqiu brought Gu Yining home and kept her close—just in case.
Gu Yining was obedient and beautiful, carrying a shadow of Bai Qingqiu’s first love. Bai Qingqiu didn’t mind spoiling her. She could have anything she wanted… except love.
Bai Qingqiu was confident Gu Yining would never leave. After all, anyone with eyes could see that Gu Yining had fallen for her.
Five years later, Gu Yining turned her back without hesitation, signing with a rival company and cutting all ties.
Bai Qingqiu hid the pregnancy test—its two pink lines glaring back at her—behind her back and silently watched Gu Yining walk away.

The next time she appeared before Bai Qingqiu, she was already a newly crowned Best Actress, shining bright with endless prospects.

“Mommy~”
