He was young and handsome, and he treated me with kindness and care.
Before long, I found myself falling for him and shared my experiences with him.
He held me tightly, saying, “Yao Yao, I will help you escape this place!”
True to his word, Zheng Xin helped me break free from sister Hua ’s control and took me to live in the capital.
However, our good fortune was short-lived.
sister Hua tracked us down with a group of thugs: “Yao Yao! Come back here! Or I’ll call the police!”
Terrified, I hid in Zheng Xin’s embrace. “What should we do?! I don’t want to go back!”
Zheng Xin comforted me, “It’s okay. I’m here.”
Later, I discovered that Zheng Xin was the young master of the the Zheng Family in the capital, someone sister Hua could not afford to offend.
The reason sister Hua didn’t dare to call the police was that she knew she couldn’t compete with the the Zheng Family.
In the end, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and let me go.
Under Zheng Xin’s protection, I was temporarily safe, but I also understood—
This was only a temporary solution.
Because once sister Hua found an opportunity, she would surely seek revenge on me.
I had to find a way to completely rid myself of her and live a normal life.
But how easy was that?
I was just a girl from a small town, with no education or connections, not even an ID card.
I could only rely on Zheng Xin for my livelihood.
Yet Zheng Xin proposed another idea: “Yao Yao, would you like to change your identity and start anew?”
"Change my identity?" I said in surprise.
"Yes," Zheng Xin replied. "I have a friend named Wang Chen. Her family is very wealthy.
If she were to die, could you take her place?"
"What?!" I was taken aback. "How could that be possible?!"
Zheng Xin, however, said calmly, "What's impossible about it? As long as you're willing, I can help you fulfill this wish."
Zheng Xin began training me to become Wang Chen.
He and Wang Chen were good friends and often brought her to meet me, allowing me to gradually familiarize myself with her image and personality.
He taught me how to speak with a Beijing accent, dine in style, and wear designer clothes and skirts.
He even had me undergo voice and vocal training.
Since Wang Chen had attended an elite school since childhood, I also needed to learn the language and behavior of that environment.
He taught me how to play the piano and perform classical dance, as these were two of Wang Chen's greatest talents.
After months of training, I finally learned Wang Chen's mannerisms and skills.
I began to resemble her more and more, to the point where people around us could hardly tell us apart.
Wang Chen didn't mind; in fact, she seemed to enjoy having me as a shadow behind her.
She often took me to various high-society events, helping me gradually adapt to this circle.
I felt both excited and anxious.
Excited because I finally had the chance to interact with people from this world;
Anxious because I wasn't sure if I could truly fulfill this role.
However, Wang Chen was quite confident in me. "Yao Yao, don't worry. As long as you behave and listen, no one will notice you."
I was half-convinced, but I had no choice but to comply.
Because I knew—
This was my only chance.
With the help of Zheng Xin and Wang Chen, I gradually began to adapt to this role.
I even started to resemble Wang Chen more and more.
So much so that those around us could hardly tell us apart.
I began to mimic Wang Chen's mannerisms, speech patterns, lifestyle habits, and social skills, among other things.
Gradually, I was getting closer to the real Wang Chen.
Yet deep down, I harbored a lingering doubt—
Why was Zheng Xin doing this?
Was it merely to make me into Wang Chen?
Or was there another purpose?
I couldn't know.
