Summary
One week before the wedding, Qiao Yiyi discovered that her fiancé, Chu Huai’an, and her best friend, Jiang Yingying, had been wagering on her all along: her wedding dress had been exchanged for a style Jiang Yingying liked, the jade bracelet the Chu family passed down to its daughters-in-law had ended up on Jiang Yingying’s wrist, and even the wedding venue had been quietly changed from Ireland to Iceland.
Cold and heartsick, she did not change her flight. Instead, she said yes to a wedding in Ireland — with a new groom: He Ming, the boy next door from her girlhood.
On the wedding day, Chu Huai’an arrived at the church with his groomsmen and found it empty. All that waited for him was her image on the big screen, walking in white toward another man — and this wager had been about how long it would take him to notice the groom had been replaced.
Three years later, Qiao Yiyi returned home from her posting abroad, promoted to Technical Director, long since free of her cage, walking a road entirely her own.
