Ruolan has a twin sister Rumei. In contrast to Ruolan, Rumei is a lively and cheerful superstar, and she has a gentle, tall, rich and handsome fiancé Tianlun, who is an excellent film director. Aliang, Tianlun, Ruolan and Rumei quickly formed a four-person dating group. The Ruolan sisters often played the game of exchanging identities to enjoy a double life. However, under the surface of peace, Aliang gradually noticed the seemingly close estrangement between the sisters Ruolan and Rumei. Before Rumei's wedding, the two sisters decided to go to Mauritius for their last single trip, but they encountered a shipwreck and only one survived. Is she Ruolan or Rumei? The three people were involved in a confusing emotional entanglement.
