An Ling is a successful writer of romance novels. What is unknown is that all of her novels were written by her deceased mother but published under her name. The publisher urged her to write her seventh novel, but she had no romantic relationship before and was not good at writing. When she was involved in a production, she met an actor, Zheng Yuan, and had an affair with him.
