[edit]An unforeseen event changes the life of Qu Tan'er (Liang Jie), after a suicide attempt over her love for Mo Yihuai (Wang Ruichang). She wakes up to find that another person has entered her body named Qu Xiaotan, who has time-traveled from the modern world. Both girls share a different personality, with Qu Tan'er being gentle and submissive while Qu Xiaotan is wild and uninhibited; whenever one of them tells a lie, the other takes over their shared body. Duty forces Qu Tan'er to marry Mo Liancheng (Xing Zhaolin), thus beginning an unexpected romance between two people thrown together by circumstance: in fact, as Tan'er persists in her love for Yihuai, Liancheng falls in love with modern girl Xiaotan.
